Shopping or the more organized concept of ‘retail therapy’ is proving to be one the biggest money earners for the U.K. Millions of foreign travelers are visiting U.K. every year with the express purpose of shopping. As per market research conducted, an average tourist who has arrived with tourism as one of the driving forces, ends up spending more than four times one who hasn’t acknowledged the role. Women in particular are more likely to be seeking retail therapy in the U.K. Tourists from the Gulf region including countries such as U.A.E., Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman and Saudi Arabia are most likely to spend on tourism with average spends exceeding a whopping £2000 per visit.
