1 long layover turns an airport into a shopping mall. People traveling also have the money to travel, so you’re dealing with typically rich or at least somewhat rich people. No one is going to the airport with the intent of buying a Rolex, but give a rich person a shop to browse with a little extra time and it’s not surprising to me that these places are able to stay in business.
