Ganso Food Store here has been opened for two years. Most of our customers are the passengers from TSA . Because many duty free shops and gift shops are gathered together here, we can also see a lot of tourists here. The tourists prefer buying “pineapple cake” because it is famous in Taipei. There is also some difference between tourists from different places. For example, the Japanese like healthy dessert because they put emphasis on body health while the Chinese from mainland China prefer fruits.

The internationalization of TSA has brought us more customers. Most of them are the tourists from mainland China. Each of them spent 1000 NT dollars in average. The customers from China and Korea like to bargain with us over the price. We hope the airport can attracts more tourists in the future.
