Introduction<br />
Globally, the number of trips taken by plane is expected to<br />
more than double, from 6.3 billion in 2013 to approximately<br />
13 billion in 2030.1 More and more travelers are passing<br />
through airports every day, bringing increased opportunities<br />
for revenue growth. In an attempt to enhance the traveler’s<br />

and promote the local economy, many airports are striving to<br />
enhance the traveler experience by creating a “sense of place”<br />
