Overseas sales of souvenirs, whether cheap 'tat' or costly ceramics and jewellery, are another source of revenue for retailers and UK businesses. Online retail spending is included as well as spending in physical shops. Indirect sales with royalty as "influencers" over the next year or so also included separately."
