2 .     1    And in a way we totally mean that, but Fashion Tourism goes a step forward. Fashion Tourism is defined as the phenomenon of people travelling to and staying in places outside their environment to enjoy, experiment and possibly consume fashion.

But don't just picture yourself travelling to Lisbon and visiting one of Louis Vuitton or Miu Miu shops and buying a clutch （限量款）!    2    Fashion Tourism will not only make your credit card go crazy.

Fashion Tourism will give you something to tell your friends when you come back home. It will make you wear clothes that you are not brave enough to wear in your home town.    3     Not mentioning buying the latest fashion magazines in foreign countries finding wonderful bargains in street markets, going to fashion museums and even trying to get inside a fashion show!

So you may ask why we would go across the world to buy things in different stores.    4     We shop for essentials on holiday, to experience local culture through an engagement with local products and local crafts people. We look for exciting opportunities to shop while travelling and some destinations provide special tourist shopping activities for tourists to shop for goods.

The concept of Fashion Tourism is an enjoyable experience.    5
