Trip Characteristics

Activities Undertaken in Britain

With annual spending of £240m China is Britain’s 22nd most valuable source market.

VFR and business visits from China undertake leisure activities to a greater extent than is the case for the average market.

The typical visit from China generates £1,617, almost three times that from the average market.

Half of holiday visits feature time in museums and two-in-five include at least one trip to a castle.

There are now similar numbers of business and holiday visits from China.

Chinese visitors have an above average propensity to go to a park or garden while in Britain.

Trips of 15+ nights account for a larger share of the market from China than is the case for the average market with this the most common trip duration for both VFR and study trips.

Regional Spread (% of visits)

In the first seven months of 2012 China accounted for 19% of tax free shopping (measured by value) in Britain.

Potential Growth in Britain

The share of visits, nights and spend accounted for by each area of Britain is shown in the chart above. This reveals that London dominates with a 42% share of all visits and 37% share of spending, though the capital accounts for just 20% of visitor nights.

The chart above shows the historic trends in the number of visits from China to Britain, along with potential growth through to 2021. The projection suggests strong growth potential throughout the period, with perhaps more than 650,000 annual visits by 2020.

Many areas contest the runners-up spots for visits, including Yorkshire. Whilst for visitor nights it is clear that Yorkshire and South East England lead the remaining areas by quite some margin.

The Government has recently declared an ambition of trebling the number of visits from China over the next few years backed with an additional investment of around £8m.

Shopping A further defining characteristic of the Chinese tax free shopping market is that the average spend per transaction in 2011 stood at €813, up from €731 the year before, and significantly higher than the average spend per transaction when looking at all global tax free shoppers which amounted to €485 in 2011.

The Huran Report also asked millionaires about the types of luxury products that they like to purchase when overseas and watches were cited as a ‘must buy’ item by 56%, ahead of jewellery (43%), leather products and clothes/accessories (37%).
