Analyst Opinion

The global tourism market is growing steadily, outperforming the global economy, with both arrivals and inbound receipts set to grow. The tourism industry fulfills the longing for foreign countries and cultures and is one of the most important economic factors. Low-cost airlines allow shopping trips into international markets and accessories are gladly bought abroad, in order to make the own wardrobe even more individual and more unusual. For the consumer, brands play an important role in the purchase of accessories. However, brand awareness has changed in recent years, especially through social media and bloggers, who play an important role in how the brand is perceived and what target group it addresses.
