中国游客位列奢侈品消费榜首

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.

尽管海外旅行较少，中国游客已连续第三年在奢侈品上比任何其他国家花费更多，根据3月和4月收集到的调查。

"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.

在今年的调查中，“奢华旅行者”，那些拥有超过100万美元资产的人被发现已经旅行2.8次，相比2012年调查中的3.2次，而“超级富豪”(1000万美元的资产)进行了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，在免税购物方面，他们仍然是最大的全国性组织，根据中国奢华旅游(2013)报告，平均每趟支出875欧元(1139美元)，比上年增长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.

相当大的一部分是花在礼物上，该报告指出。手表是给男人的最喜欢的礼物，其次对女人而言是酒和珠宝，紧接着是衣服。

"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.

“全球旅游行业已经认识到中国的奢侈品旅游者排名第一，他们尽其所能吸引奢华旅游者中的关键群体，胡润报告的董事长兼首席研究员Rupert Hoogewerf表示，结合国际奢华旅游市场亚洲公布的最新调查结果。

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.

在他们首选的10个目的地中，欧洲五国是中国奢侈品旅游者最喜爱的目的地——法国排榜首，瑞士、英国、意大利和德国都证明是受欢迎的。美国和新加坡位列第二和第三。
