This October, the Golden Week Chinese Holiday is expected to see thousands of extra visitors coming to the British capital.
According to luxury retail body London Luxury Quarter, the Autumn break could help London’s tourism industry break its China inbound market records.
The average spend per transaction by a Chinese tourist while on London’s famous Bond Street is US$3,100.
Mark Henderson, chairman of London Luxury Quarter and Savile Row tailors Gieves & Hawkes, said: “Chinese shoppers make up the most significant proportion of our international customer base. The first Golden Week holiday in February this year saw a surge in Chinese visitors to the area and we are expecting record numbers for the second holiday this October.
“The Quarter offers a unique mix of world leading luxury brands, hotels, galleries and restaurants, catering for visitors’ taste for high end goods and unique experiences, and we are doing more than ever to ensure they are fully accommodated.”
