The two brands, BottegaVeneta and Yves Saint Laurent, were also excellent in Japan, with a 22% increase in sales compared to sales; Burberry in the Asia Pacific region had a lower number of single digits in the same store sales. China and South Korea had only a median increase in single digits, and the same store sales in the Hongkong region fell more in single digits, but in Japan, the same store sales rose by more than 30%.

According to PRADA's 2014 full year earnings report, the Chinese market was dismal, but the Japanese market continued to grow.

According to the bain consultancy data report, although the sales in the mainland market dropped, Chinese consumers went abroad to spend a lot of money, including mainland sales, purchasing and outbound purchases. The total consumption of Chinese luxury goods in 2014 was about 380 billion yuan, up 9% over the same period last year.

The scale of luxury shopping market reached 550-750 billion yuan.

Because of the price advantage brought by exchange rate, Japan and Europe have become the main destinations for Chinese tourists to buy luxury brands.

According to statistics from Japan's Tourism Bureau, the total number of visitors to Japan in February this year was 1 million 380 thousand, of which 360 thousand came from China, the largest number of visitors to Japan.

The cold February and the severe summer of August are the low season of Japanese shopping malls, and a large number of Chinese tourists are coming. Japanese businesses are relieved.

Recently, many Japanese media have studied Chinese tourists.

They created a synonym for Chinese tourists' crazy shopping behavior: "pop buy".

Japanese economic magazine published an article recently that the average consumption of Chinese tourists in Japan is 200 thousand yen (about 10408 yuan), which is more than twice the amount of other foreign tourists.

The most popular Chinese tourists are health products and cosmetics, followed by the Japanese toilet seats and electric rice cookers.

Fourth of them are bags and costumes.

Major shopping streets, such as Ginza, Shinjuku and Ueno, have set up duty-free counters for Chinese tourists recently.

The Ginza branch, often visited by the Chinese tourist group, has hired many Chinese receptionist to receive Chinese tours.

The owner of a trunk shop in Ginza is delighted to see a large number of Chinese tourists patronizing. He told reporters: "Chinese tourists bought them on Ginza street, and could not afford to buy them.

I've been doing leather business in Ginza for so many years that I've never seen such a grand occasion. "

Japan's NHK TV recently released statistics that a foreign tourist can spend 150 thousand yen (7800 yuan) in Japan, so that the consumption of 10 foreign tourists in Japan will exceed the domestic consumption of a Japanese in a year.

Japan's tourism and Tourism Bureau has predicted that this summer vacation (July and August) will once again have a hot Chinese outing. Successive flights between major cities and Japan have been scheduled to increase this summer, with shuttle flights up to 100 times a week.

Japan's Tourism Association said it should continue to attract Chinese tourists to enter the country. It believes that there is still room for Japanese tourists to attract Chinese tourists.

Last year, the number of Chinese tourists to Japan was 2 million 400 thousand, which is far less than the number of Chinese tourists traveling to Korea and Europe and America and Southeast Asian countries.
