VE Bulletin January 2018: The Future of Shopping Tourism

Shopping Tourism – the US$ 69.5 billion industry that the tourism industry rarely talks about!

Shopping is one of the top three activities for consumers when travelling, an industry growing at an annual rate of almost 9%. It is recognised as one of the key drivers in attracting high-spending customers. How does your destination capture its share of this huge market?

In this edition of the VE Bulletin, Ian Stazicker, Founder and Managing Director of the Hong Kong-based Nelian Consultancy, shares some insights into how to attract retail customers from this lucrative shopping tourism.
