然后是购物。中国游客的消费数据真的很惊人。联合国世界旅游组织称,2016年中国游客在海外消费的金额达2611亿美元(17972亿元人民币),相比2000年的100亿美元大幅增加。美国人出国旅游的消费金额总共是1236亿美元,和中国人相比是小巫见大巫。
"Cynical young Chinese will scornfully tell you that the travelling middle classes pay lip service to appreciating culture, but they are mainly after the goods: specifically, European brands they can buy in situ, and bring home to lord over their non-travelling neighbours,” says Telegraph Travel’s Sally Peck, a former Beijing resident. “This may go some way to explaining the extraordinary spending figures.”
《每日电讯报》旅游频道的萨莉·佩克曾在北京居住,她说:“愤世嫉俗的中国年轻人会轻蔑地告诉你,出国旅游的中产阶级嘴上说是去感受外国文化,但他们主要还是为了去买东西,尤其是为了在当地才能买到的欧洲品牌货,然后带回家向没出国旅游的邻居炫耀。这也许在某种程度上可以解释这庞大的消费数据。”
All of which reveals why Bicester Village, a vast retail estate on the outskirts of the Oxfordshire town, is the second most visited UK attraction for Chinese tourists – after Buckingham Palace. Three in four Chinese visitors head to Bicester aided by Mandarin signs and announcements at London Marylebone; others travel by tour bus.
