HMSHost, a world leader in travel shopping and dining, introduced three World Passage stores this year – two at Seattle- Tacoma International Airport and one at Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
This high-end shop features a superior selection of merchandise previously available only to duty free passengers, now allowing all travelers access to much sought after brands, including, Christian Dior, Lancome and Anthony's products. Duty Free exists only for limited items, such as alcohol and tobacco.
From world class chocolates and confections such as Toblerone, Godiva and Guylian, rare liquors, premium spirits, and fine tobacco products to ultra- fine cosmetics and fragrances from top fashion designers such as Christian Dior, Givenchy, Armani and Estee Lauder, World Passage offers the customer superb values. Elegant Swarovski crystal jewelry, recognized worldwide for its beauty and craftsmanship, and fine watches from top designers such as Gucci and Cartier round out the assortment, allowing all ticket holders to take home something truly special from their travels.
Also available to all travelers are luggage, handbags and accessories from Calvin Klein and Guess, sports apparel and accessories from Adidas and Puma, the very best in casual sportswear and travel accessories, as well as the chic and sophistication of Gucci, Ralph Lauren and DKNY designer sunglasses offering customers brand luxury and style.
"The demand for upscale and high end retail is increasing at airports and we're helping savvy travelers make the best use of their time by offering a quality shopping experience like World Passage," says Joan Ryzner, Senior Vice President, HMSHost Retail.
"International travelers can still take advantage of the duty-free merchandise, however we've now given all travelers access to the brands they want."
