中國遊客位列奢侈品消費榜首

CHINESE tourists spent more on luxury goods than any other nationality for a third consecutive year despite fewer overseas trips, according to a survey compiled during March and April.

儘管海外旅行較少，中國遊客已連續第三年在奢侈品上比任何其他國家花費更多，根據3月和4月收集到的調查。

"Luxury travelers," those with more than US$1 million in assets, were found to have taken 2.8 trips in this year's survey, compared to 3.2 trips in the 2012 survey, while the "super rich" (US$10 million in assets) went on 3.4 overseas journeys compared to 4.2 the year before.

在今年的調查中，“奢華旅行者”，那些擁有超過100萬美元資產的人被發現已經旅行2.8次，相比2012年調查中的3.2次，而“超級富豪”(1000萬美元的資產)進行了3.4次海外旅行，相比去年的4.2次。

However, they were still the biggest national group in terms of tax-free shopping, according to The Chinese Luxury Traveler (2013) report, spending an average of 875 euros (US$1,139) per trip, an increase of 8 percent from the year before and 70 percent higher than the global average.

然而，在免稅購物方面，他們仍然是最大的全國性組織，根據中國奢華旅遊(2013)報告，平均每趟支出875歐元(1139美元)，比上年增長8%，比全球平均水平高出70%。

A considerable part of that was spent on gifts, the report noted. Watches were the favorite purchase for men, followed by wine, and jewelry for women, followed by clothes.

相當大的一部分是花在禮物上，該報告指出。手錶是給男人的最喜歡的禮物，其次對女人而言是酒和珠寶，緊接着是衣服。

"The global travel industry has recognized that China's luxury travelers are No. 1 and are doing everything they can to appeal to this key group of luxury travelers," said Rupert Hoogewerf, chairman and chief researcher of the Hurun Report, which published the latest findings in conjunction with International Luxury Travel Market Asia.

“全球旅遊行業已經認識到中國的奢侈品旅遊者排名第一，他們盡其所能吸引奢華旅遊者中的關鍵羣體，胡潤報告的董事長兼首席研究員Rupert Hoogewerf表示，結合國際奢華旅遊市場亞洲公佈的最新調查結果。

Europe is the favorite destination for China's luxury travelers with five countries among their top 10 preferred destinations - France topped the list while Switzerland, UK, Italy and Germany all proved popular. The US and Singapore were second and third.

在他們首選的10個目的地中，歐洲五國是中國奢侈品旅遊者最喜愛的目的地——法國排榜首，瑞士、英國、意大利和德國都證明是受歡迎的。美國和新加坡位列第二和第三。
