Purchasing power of foreign tourists
[Tokyo, 20th, Reuters] – With the consumption tax hike increasing uncertainty about the future of domestic consumption, the purchasing power of foreigners visiting Japan is increasing. The number of foreign tourists is increasing rapidly due to the depreciation of the yen, the government’s measures to ease visa issuance, and the increase in low-cost carriers (LCC). The retail industry sees the expansion of duty-free goods in October as an opportunity and is working to strengthen demand capture everywhere.
There was a report that.
We also have the opportunity to shop at Ginza Mitsukoshi due to its location, but at that time, we often see foreign tourists shopping in Mitsukoshi with good economic conditions by stopping several large buses. ..
In particular, Chinese tourists are very motivated to buy, and it is rare for people to buy one ring made of red coral (equivalent to 1 to 3 million yen) for themselves and the other as a souvenir for their relatives. There seems to be no.
The Japan Tourism Agency is also working toward the realization of a tourism-oriented nation aiming for 20 million foreign tourists visiting Japan through the Visit Japan Campaign, and the retail industry sees this as a one-off opportunity. I think there are many companies that do.
It is said that the sales ratio of foreigners is close to 50% at stores that already have major retailers.
There is a country risk and there is no anxiety factor, but the trust in “Made in Japan” is very strong and it is commonplace in Japan, but there is no fake brand shop, and the quality of home appliances etc. is origami. It also has strengths such as origami.
I hope that you will proactively promote the goodness of Japan and become a shopping powerhouse alongside Singapore and Dubai in the future, and have a great effect on raising the economy.
