31st May 2017.
Following significant gains in arrival numbers in 2015, partly attributable to the Expo Milano, and therefore due to the inherently strong growth compares, arrivals to Italy in 2016 saw a modest decline.
Consequently, whilst arrivals to Italy in 2017 have evidenced strong gains, Tax Free Shopping sales have seen a disproportionately higher increase in sales, with increasing numbers of Chinese and Russian tourists opting to travel to Italy, resulting in the 31% growth in sales in April 2017 representing the highest gains since September 2015.
The 16% increase in Chinese tourist arrivals to Italy in April 2017 was not only commensurate with a 57% increase in sales to these tourists, but also represented the highest rate of growth of these tourists among the main European destination markets in April. Furthermore, as one of the first destinations to witness a resurgence in Russian tourist spend in 2016, and with Italy representing the second most important destination for these tourists for Tax Free shopping, it has also benefitted from a 44% increase in sales to these tourists on a year to date basis. The current outlook suggests the rate of growth in Chinese tourist arrivals will be moderately lower from May through to July, however arrivals of Russian, American Taiwanese and Japanese arrivals are all predicted to experience double-digit gains.
