While nearly 100 per cent shop during their trips, fewer than 15 per cent of Chinese travellers cite shopping as the main reason for their trip, in contrast to 63 per cent that specify sightseeing as their top motivation. This impacts the ways in that destinations around the world appeal to this audience.
In Hong Kong, where slowing growth in Chinese travellers and their spending has seen retail sales fall 12.5 per cent in the first quarter of 2016, the city will need to become less dependent on shopping by Mainland Chinese visitors and encourage other activities.
