2. In early 2014, based on the assessments of the
World Bank’s International Comparison Program,
China has overtaken the United States and is now
officially the world’s largest economy.
Studies by the Australian Bureau of Statistics show there
are over 1.3 million people of Chinese heritage living
permanently in Australia, and as a result of Tourism
Australia’s 2020 strategy, the number of Chinese travellers
is expected to reach over 1 million, with an estimated
spend of AU$13 billion annually by the end of the decade.
Chinese visitors to New Zealand rose by 16% last year to
over 228,928 and total spending rose by 7% to NZ$723
million. 84% of these visitors were dual destination
travellers who also visited Australia.

3. Who are they
and what do
they want?
Affluent Chinese consumers are 10-15 years younger than their
American or European counterparts. They are financially
abundant and want unique, authentic experiences, actively seeking
opportunities to build a modern lifestyle in both China and abroad
by acquiring prestigious product offerings from the West.
China now boasts over 200 Billionaires and one million Millionaires.
Travel remains the preferred leisure activity for Chinese high net-
worth individuals, and more than 80% of Chinese tourists say that
shopping is vital to their plans. (Huron report 2014)
There is an old Chinese saying that goes: value comes from scarcity.
Chinese consumers that shop abroad are also looking for exclusive
products that can differentiate them from buyers in China.
Source: Affluent Consumers and their travel plans 2013: A Unity Marketing Luxury Trend Report.
‘‘When Chinese consumers travel
they earmark 65% of travel budget
to shopping and they spend six times
more than when they stay at home’’

5. “Chinese Shoppers Represent
25 Percent of the World’s
Luxury Goods Spending.”
BLOOMBERG BUSINESS, MARCH 2015
Shop
Chinese consumers make more than half of their luxury purchases outside
of China. While consumers avoid high tariffs, there is also a real cachet
to items purchased abroad and shopping overseas is one of the main
drivers for Chinese travellers. Australia and New Zealand’s reputation for
fashionability, authentic luxury products and the opportunity for unique
purchases make these destinations ideal for shopping.
58% of Chinese shoppers make
purchasing decisions before they
reach the store.

CHINESE WEDDING MARKET
Getting married overseas is becoming increasingly
popular among the younger Chinese seeking a
wedding celebration, which is unique to them.
The booming wedding industry in China is worth
$80 billion per year. Last year, 12 million couples
tied the knot in China, and it is expected to increase
this year by 5%.
A recent survey by Expedia Hong Kong finds that
80% of couples would rather host their dream wedding
overseas than in Hong Kong.
Some 174 million Chinese tourists are expected
to spend $264 billion by 2019 in comparison
with the 109 million who spent $164 billion in
2014, according to new analysis by Bank of
America Merrill Lynch, Bloomberg reports.
The Australian wedding industry, currently generates
AUS $2 billion with 116,000 weddings annually.
Our primary target audience is the affluent 20-30
bilingual, bi-culturally aware woman of mainly
Chinese heritage who intends to marry in the not too
distant future. She is inspired by love and romance and
dreams of a fairytale wedding, and has the financial
means and resources to live out her fantasy. She is sure
of who she is and desires only the very best.
She buys luxury brands, wears current season fashion,
is comfortable in couture, purchases investment
jewellery, and is well travelled. This woman wants
bespoke experiences, unique to her and is willing to
pay the price for exclusivity. Our secondary target
audience is the aspirational market.
