news

I am doing research proposal but anyway i found out that in the way of data collection is going to be not enough information. In order to i can not make appointment with tourists actually to do interview. So i worry that how many i should have question to the tourists.
By the way, i have read in Amthaipaper (Thai newspaper for Thai people in the UK) on issue February 2011 by Diamond Heart. The content states that London is number one in the rank of fashion clothing retail shops. The National Research Centre for Retailing research of 22 countries around the world also online shopping in 2010. London is the place for garment that there are many tourist come to buy and online order clothing.This made highly income for the country if compare with other products about 64,200 pounds. There are more than 26,000 retail cloth shops that provide world popular brand name clothing about 138 brands. Because of this in the fashion factor can attract lots of tourists come and buy about 14.1 millions people. Therefore, the sales by online website in London reach 9,900 million pounds.

knowledges

Hello guys as i have been told you about international shopping in the UK. It is interestingly, to World Tourism Organization statistics state that UK is the world’s seventh most popular tourist destination. A country that present, the country’s inbound tourism industry is worth over £16 billion, while in terms of travel and tourism demand, the economic contribution will rise from a respectable £185 billion, as it was in 2006, to £330 billion by 2016 (http://www.mintel.com, 2011). Just to let you know if you guys thinking to go back home in the period of 3 month shopping, you can ask for tax free for the shopping minimum 30 pounds. Keep all receipt and fill the form then claim the tax before you go home. This is for tourists shopping as well. This is such a good of shopping policy in Europe isn't it.

new topic

Today i am coming with new idea of my topic of shopping. To what extent is shopping a priority leisure activity for international tourists in London. As it can be seen so many tourist such as Chinese, Thai, Japaneses,etc coming to England and the most famous activity is shopping. Why these tourists need to shop in the UK and what is the motivation to buy goods here in the UK. These will looking into their behavior of shopping as well. Any suggestion very welcome. Cheers :)

The change of the title

In order to i was in Thailand two weeks ago i realize that there are a lot of shopping places in Thailand. However, all products are not branding like a big brand name that popular as in London. This can be a little bit difficult in explaining about products and brands in the city. After that i decided to change my mind to study why international tourists love shopping in the UK instead. In other word it would be easy for me because i am in The UK, i can interview or questioner to tourists in London. Suggestions are more than welcoming :)
