Retail Tourism

Retail tourism is when people travel to different locations primarily to shop at specific stores or shopping destinations. This type of tourism attracts visitors seeking unique products, luxury brands, or good deals that aren’t available in their local area. It can boost local economies by increasing spending on accommodations, dining, and entertainment. Retail tourism is popular in cities with renowned shopping districts, luxury outlets, or special shopping events. Essentially, it combines travel with retail experiences, making shopping a key reason for travel rather than just an activity done at home.
