The agreement will integrate the terminals of the Punta Cana International Airport, the Tocumen International Airport in Ciudad de Panama, the International Airport of El Salvador in San Salvador, and the Rafael Núñez International Airport in Cartagena, Colombia.
The strategic alliance between Visa and Duty Free Americas aims to provide convenience, security, and ease in digital payments for international travelers.

Visa recognizes the importance of duty-free shops at airports for international travelers. As part of this recognition, Santiago RegaMore, Senior Director of Cross-Border Business Development for the Caribbean and Central America, stated that Visa is teaming up with Duty Free Americas to offer exclusive benefits to Visa cardholders in these shops.
