Louis Vuitton Luggage And Gucci Sunglasses Top Chinese Globetrotters' Most Desired Travel Items

Louis Vuitton tops the list when it comes to the luggage brand that Chinese tourists covet the most. (Louis Vuitton) Since Chinese tourists are the world's highest-spending group of outbound travelers, they're bound to have a major effect on industries that make a great deal of profit selling travel goods such as luggage and sunglasses. In order to see which brands top the travel goods list for China's jet-set, travel site TripAdvisor recently included Chinese travelers in its global 95,056- person survey of travelers’ preferred brands. The site questioned 1,200 respondents from China on everything from what kind of credit cards they use to the dream brand of sunglasses they wish they could buy. “We’re very excited to have been able to hold our ‘2014 Travelers’ Choice’ survey in China,” says TripAdvisor’s Chinese spokesperson, Zheng Jiali. “Although this is a preliminary selection, these rankings are of great value to TripAdvisor. They represent travelers’ spending habits and thoughts toward products. We believe in the future, these surveys will become more comprehensive, and act as a useful guide for Chinese travelers.” According to the results, foreign luxury brands reign supreme in the eyes of Chinese tourists, who are most likely to buy Ray-Ban sunglasses and Samsonite luggage (and wish they could actually be wearing Gucci eyewear while carrying a Louis Vuitton suitcase).
