However, \u201cHainan\u2019s continued success could also put additional pressure on other markets that previously relied on mainland Chinese luxury consumption, notably Hong Kong, Macau and Europe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"674\" src=\"https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lagardere-hainan-DF-1024x674.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2080\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lagardere-hainan-DF-1024x674.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lagardere-hainan-DF-300x197.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lagardere-hainan-DF-768x505.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/lagardere-hainan-DF.jpg 1192w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Lagard\u00e8re Travel Retail partnered with Hainan Tourism Investment Development Company for a new 30,000 sq m shopping complex<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Major duty free retail operators,&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.forbes.com\/sites\/kevinrozario\/2021\/12\/30\/frances-lagardere-enters-hainan-as-duty-free-competition-heats-up\/?sh=2a9970896664\">Lagard\u00e8re&nbsp;Travel Retail<\/a>, Dufry Group and DFS Group&nbsp;have moved fast on the Hainan expansion opportunity, with all three players opening destinations on the island between December 2020 and January 2021. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For example, LVMH\u2019s DFS and partner\u00a0Shenzhen Duty Free Group\u00a0opened the first phase of their new downtown duty free retail complex in Haikou Mission Hills.

Similarly, bookings to Haikou, the Hainan province capital, are 50.2% ahead of pre-pandemic levels for the same extended holiday dates, which have been five days for the past two years.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>China\u2019s capital, Beijing, and Shanghai, where Disney Resort is celebrating its fifth&nbsp;birthday with a \u2018Year of Magical Surprises\u2019, are also popular destinations for holiday travel this spring, with bookings 31.4% and 9.7% ahead respectively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/forwardKeys_China-Labour-Day-2021-3-1024x576.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2082\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/forwardKeys_China-Labour-Day-2021-3-1024x576.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/forwardKeys_China-Labour-Day-2021-3-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/forwardKeys_China-Labour-Day-2021-3-768x432.png 768w, https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/forwardKeys_China-Labour-Day-2021-3-1536x864.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.echolution.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/forwardKeys_China-Labour-Day-2021-3.png 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Another key insight from ForwardKeys is that fewer Chinese people will be travelling as part of a group this spring. An analysis of passenger profiles shows that the share of group bookings is down from 17% in 2019 to 13% in 2021. By comparison, the proportion of people travelling solo or in pairs is up to 56%, compared to 52% in 2019<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In January, a resurgence of Covid-19 caused a substantial set back in domestic travel, with arrivals diving 69% compared to 2019, notes ForwardKeys.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, containment of the disease and innovative travel promotions have stimulated a spirited revival. Surprise destination promotions, known locally as \u2018blind boxes\u2019, in which the traveller purchases a flight ticket to an unknown or surprise destination for a very cheap price ($10-15), have been a big hit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Following the launch of plane ticket blind boxes by LY.com in March, more than 10 million people took up the offer in a sale coinciding with the Qingming Festival in early April, although not all purchases converted into flight tickets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other leading online travel agents, such as Ctrip, Fliggy and Qunar, followed suit in the third week of April and LY.com has recently completed a further round of blind box offers. The promotions have created considerable popular interest among young audiences on social media platforms, says ForwardKeys.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The firm also notes that while outbound travel is almost impossible for the Chinese, Macau has been an exception due to its bilateral agreement with mainland China for quarantine free travel. Currently, Labour Day holiday demand for the destination stands at 75% of pre-pandemic levels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Olivier Ponti, VP Insights, ForwardKeys<\/strong>, says: \u201cThis year\u2019s record-breaking Labour Day domestic travel is down to three factors: the release of pent-up demand, control of COVID-19 and imaginative marketing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Expo expectations<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Expanding domestic&nbsp;consumption&nbsp;is a priority in&nbsp;China\u2019s \u201cdual circulation\u201d economic strategy first highlighted by President Xi Jinping last&nbsp;May, which also called for a reduced dependence on foreign markets. As part of this localised consumption drive,&nbsp;Hainan\u2019s Haikou city will host the first China International Consumer Products Expo from 7-10 May, organised by the Ministry of Commerce and Hainan\u2019s provincial government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hainan has quickly developed into a domestic consumption and tourism hub and a beacon for international duty free development.&nbsp;A number of international luxury, fashion and beauty players including Tapestry Inc. (owner of Coach and Kate Spade), Swatch Group, L\u2019Or\u00e9al Group and Shiseido have confirmed their participation in the inaugural China expo, alongside retailers Galeries Lafayette and LVMH-owned DFS Group, according to&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.businessoffashion.com\/news\/china\/china-to-launch-month-long-effort-in-may-to-boost-consumption\">Business of Fashion<\/a>. Besides domestic products, the expo will showcase consumer brands from 69 countries and regions including Japan, Britain and the US, with more than 200,000 visitors anticipated.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Echolution takeout: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While Chinese luxury shoppers remain firmly focused on domestic travel due to overseas travel restrictions, Hainan is a bright spot and brands present in its travel retail ecosystem look set to benefit from the sharp uptick in visitor numbers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaching luxury shoppers in market will be crucial for brands to maximise travel shopping opportunities, especially for Chinese digital natives who plan their purchases and trip details via the likes of WeChat or Douyin in advance of travel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reaching the right demographic via the right social commerce channels with targeted geolocation activation tools will become increasingly important for brands that want to cut through the Hainan noise and provide convenient and engaging retail promotions. <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Where are Chinese travellers shopping now?&nbsp;At home.
