why are Airports duty/tax free shops never cheaper than regular shops outside the airport?
In: Economics
Because people pay those prices, that’s all there is to it.
Like why should it be cheaper, there is no competition, you’ve got no where else to go, it’s not particularly easy to check against the prices outside, no one is going to do them for any kind of false advertising.
The bit that should really upset you is this is sooo profitable that most airport refurbs in the last couple of decades have been specifically to create space for the lil shopping mall and arrange things so you are forced through it.
