Following the opening of the inbound duty-free shop during the May Day holiday, on July 8th, the outbound duty-free shop at Tianjin International Cruise Home Port also officially opened its doors to customers, marking the full resumption of its duty-free business and forming a "two-way entry and exit" duty-free service closed loop. This not only improves the supporting service system for cruise tourism in Tianjin and the layout of the port duty-free network, but also activates the cruise economy industrial chain through "port consumption". It has further enhanced the service level and international competitiveness of Tianjin International Cruise Home Port.
This duty-free exit store is located in the customs clearance area on the second floor of the cruise home Port building, covering an area of 350 square meters. It is operated by China Duty Free (Tianjin) Trading Co., LTD., a wholly-owned subsidiary of China Duty Free (Group) Co., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "China Duty Free Group"), a leading enterprise in the duty-free industry. The planned sales range includes a variety of products such as domestic and imported tobacco and alcohol, imported luxury goods, and imported fragrances and chemicals. Relying on the geographical advantages of Tianjin, this duty-free exit store takes the characteristic consumption scenarios of cruise ships as the entry point. Through the supply of high cost-performance and multi-category goods, it can not only meet the personalized shopping needs of passengers, but also become an important means to promote consumption upgrading, injecting new impetus into the integrated development of port, industry and city.
On the first day of the opening of the duty-free store, Tianjin International Cruise Home Port provided convenient and rich duty-free shopping services for outbound passengers on the "Adadizhonghai" cruise ship, making it the "first surprise" for passengers' cruise trips. Passengers have all expressed that the duty-free shopping experience before boarding the ship has made their journey full of anticipation from the very beginning.
In the next step, duty-free shops will continue to enrich the variety of goods and improve service quality, leveraging "port consumption" to drive the integrated development of port, industry and city. They will contribute to helping Tianjin build an international consumption center city, promoting the high-quality development of the cruise economy, and meeting the diverse and high-quality consumption demands of the people.
