The $40 Airport Departure Tax is already included in most air tickets.
Years ago, each traveler paid the tax to a designated tax collector at the airport and got a stamp or ticket signifying they had paid the tax. This was actually pretty common at airports all over the world, but now most airlines collect the tax as part of the ticket price, then forward the money to the appropriate government.
If you can find the full fare breakdown for your ticket, you will likely see a number of different departure taxes and passenger service charges from governments and airports along your route.
