Some retailers see up to 60% of their sales coming from non-domestic customers.Last year, sales to international shoppers were worth 13.8% of UK textile, clothing and footwear store sales — or around £6.8 billion.

They’re most interested in buying clothing (23% of sales), watches and jewellery (10%), and bags and luggage (3%).“The purchasing power of international shoppers is growing and provides a huge opportunity for retailers – particularly in major shopping areas. Customer experience is the key to tapping into this source of revenue and attracting these shoppers to brick-and-mortar stores,” said David Perrotta, UK Country Manager of Planet.He added that tourists are looking for experiences that complement the brands they visit and that cultural awareness is key.
