2008年经济危机之后,金融业繁荣发展。虽然在过去12个月里,香港消费量的骤降对某些品牌造成了一定程度的损害,但是由于中国内地的进口税高昂,赴海外(韩国、新加坡,甚至欧洲)购物能省很多钱,所以中国大陆的购物中心从来都不是增长引擎。
“Let’s face it, said Michael Ward, the managing director for Harrods. “The bulk of luxuryconsumption by value is made by high-net-worth individuals who can afford to lose somemoney on the stock market without changing their lifestyles too much or thinking twice aboutpurchases.
“让我们面对现实吧,哈罗德百货公司的总经理迈克尔·沃德(Michael Ward)说,“大部分奢侈品消费出自高净资产人士之手,他们就算在股市上损失了一些钱,也不会过多地改变生活方式或者在购买前思量再三。
He said a slowdown by Chinese shoppers to Britain over the last year had more to do withinternational travel hassles than the shuddering Chinese economy. “The Chinese have beenspending less here because of the difficulty of applying for a U.K. tourist visa, Mr. Ward said. “Many just head over to Paris, instead, to make their purchases.
他说,在过去一年里,赴英购物的中国人数量减少,更多的是因为国际旅游的搅扰,而非中国经济的动荡。“中国人在英国的消费额减少,是因为申请英国旅游签证的难度较大,沃德说,“很多中国人转而去巴黎购物。
