DFA expands benefits to new Duty Free centers in Central America and the Caribbean

Visa and Duty Free Americas (DFA), the largest duty-free shop operator in the Western Hemisphere, renewed the expansion of their agreement to provide special benefits to Visa cardholders. This agreement, which has been a success at various airports across the continent, now covers strategic locations, including the DFA store on the Panama-Costa Rica border in Paso Canoas, Panama's Tocumen International Airport, and Punta Cana International Airport in the Dominican Republic.

DFA is proud to offer a wide range of products from the world's finest brands, including cosmetics, fragrances, fashion, jewelry, wines, spirits, food, exclusive gifts, and more. Travelers using Visa credit, debit, or prepaid cards issued anywhere in the world can access these benefits when making purchases at participating Duty Free Americas stores, as well as at restaurants and bars.

"Recognizing the importance of the shopping behavior of international travelers and border residents, we have renewed and expanded our agreement across several Duty Free Americas store formats. As of now, we are present in duty-free shops, convenience stores, restaurants, and also border stores. Visa strengthens its relationship with Duty Free Americas by extending this agreement to offer several exclusive benefits to our cardholders," said Alfredo Preciado, Senior Manager of Cross-Border Business Development for the Caribbean and Central America at Visa. "As cross-border payments continue to grow at a rapid pace, it is essential for Visa to continue working with strategic partners like DFA, a leader in the travel industry, to offer our customers the convenience, security, and ease of digital payments," he concluded.

“Our partnership with Visa is transforming the airport shopping experience,” said Dov Falic, Vice President of Duty Free Americas. “Through our strategic expansion across Central America and the Caribbean, Visa cardholders will enjoy exclusive benefits that will elevate their travel and shopping experiences at Duty Free Americas stores. This collaboration underscores our shared commitment with Visa to redefining duty-free commerce and offering premium, value-added experiences to travelers throughout the region.”

Specific benefits vary by location and are updated periodically to ensure the best shopping experience for travelers.
