Whether it’s a stroll through the designer boutiques of Regent Street, a trip to Harrods for an iconic shopping experience, or browsing in Covent Garden or Camden Market, London has long been known as a shopping hotspot. But since the Brexit agreement signed between the European Union and the United Kingdom on December 30, 2020, the British capital appears to be less of a destination for shoppers, at least for those from countries outside the European Union.
France, Italy and Spain are three countries that are increasingly being chosen by foreign travellers for their shopping trips. France and Italy are particularly desirable, with Paris and Milan the EU’s undisputed shopping capitals.
The purchases were primarily made in France and Italy. In 33% of cases, they were made by travellers from the Middle East. Visitors from the US represent the second-largest group of visitors who combine travel with shopping . The cliché of the Chinese traveller raiding French department stores is a thing of the past. Since the pandemic, far fewer Chinese tourists have been coming to Europe.
