Foreign Media: According to a study released by the Airports Council International Asia-Pacific and Middle East region earlier this month, Chinese travelers spend much more on shopping at Asian airports than travelers from other countries, with an average spending per person twice the regional average, especially in luxury goods.
Since the pandemic, the Chinese outbound tourism market has seen a strong recovery. The market size reached about $140 billion in 2024 and is expected to reach $386 billion by 2033. Chinese travelers purchase a wide range of items at airports, with 27% preferring to buy candy as gifts, 17% choosing local specialties, and 12% favoring luxury goods.
Although Chinese travelers' overseas consumption remains considerable, an increasing amount of airport shopping consumption is now concentrated in domestic Chinese airports.
