The International Shopping Traveler Study
The International Shopping Traveler: New Research Highlights Plans to Visit and Shop the USA in the next 12 months!
Economic Conditions Not Dampening Attractiveness of United States as
Destination for International Travelers
More than 50 percent of international shopping travelers surveyed who have visited the United States in the last 12 months are likely to come again over the next year. That’s good news for the U.S. economy according to a study commissioned by Taubman Centers and Shop America Alliance in partnership with the U.S. Department of Commerce, Office of Travel & Tourism Industries.
New research on The International Shopping Traveler from the top five international inbound markets to the U.S. — Canada, Mexico, UK, Germany and Japan, representing 75% of all inbound U.S. Travelers — was conducted via an online survey in January 2009. Survey respondents in each country, 1760 in total, had visited the U.S. in the past 12 months and had shopped.
