The result: the prices of the spirits, perfume and cosmetics sold in the Travel Value Shop are generally lower than in comparable shops in the city center or in online shops. Regular prices in the Travel Value Shops were compared with regular prices charged by competitors, revealing that airport shoppers have a price advantage for over 90% of all randomly selected items. Since new products are being put on the market all the time, the TÜV Rheinland Group compares prices every three months. This proves that, even after the elimination of duty-free shopping within the EU, consumers can still save a lot when flying.
Price advantages are verified on a regular basis
TÜV Rheinland’s inspections make it all possible: With the help of this independent firm, travelers have convincing proof of the price advantage and large assortment offered by Travel Value. Inspectors are neutral and the results are never concealed. In order to ensure representative results, 200 products are randomly selected and evaluated in the commodity groups of spirits, cosmetics and perfume. The pricing, availability and assortment of commodities are compared on a regular basis with those sold by domestic retail businesses.
