Authorities at the Panamanian airport announced that on October 30 and 31, the first three commercial premises of the new terminal, which is 75% complete, will be tendered.
Of the first three spaces to be tendered in Terminal 2, two will be used for sales of chocolates and one for watches. The tender documents are already available at a cost of $3,500, said Carlos Duboy, manager of Tocumen S.A.
Prensa.com reports that “…According to the conditions of the tender, in addition to the fee per square meter, Tocumen concessionaires must guarantee a minimum payment to the air terminal, regardless of the volume of sales registered in that period.”
“… Among the concessions that will be tendered under Tocumen’s internal regulations, and not through Law 22 of Public Contracts, includes an area for restaurants and another for a food court. Spaces will also be tendered for the sale of electronic equipment, cell phones, and luggage, among other things.”
Subsequently, a tender will be held to hire two concessionaires who will manage the three blocks of duty free spaces that will operate in the new terminal.
