Outbound travel is 11 times times higher than the domestic visitors. According to the National Tourism Administration, the number of tourists in 2010 was 2.1 billion, the total income was about 1.1 trillion yuan, and the expenditure was only 524 yuan. By contrast, China's 2010 outbound tourism 54 million people, travel costs 48 billion U.S. dollars, the number of people spending about 5800 yuan.　　Outbound tourism expenditure is 11 times times the expenditure of domestic tourism. Among them, the main reason for the high consumption of Chinese outbound tourists is shopping, the goods purchased are mainly luggage, leather goods, jewellery and other luxuries.　　According to the International Market Research institute Nielsen Company Statistics, 2009, Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, four first-tier urban residents to travel abroad, the amount of luxury goods per capita to 900 U.S. dollars. To build the Chinese mainland's shopping paradise It is understood that the current luxury import tariffs are generally between 15% to 25%, but also need customs testing, into the shop testing and other links, sales process There are value-added tax, business tax, excise tax. This makes domestic luxury prices generally higher than the origin of at least one-third.　　The price of imported luxury goods is greatly higher than the surrounding countries, regions and European and American markets, which has led to the purchase of most of China's luxury goods abroad. Wang that tourists flocked abroad to buy luxury goods, mainly because of the high tax levied on luxury goods in China's imports, leading to a huge price difference for similar goods at home and abroad.　　High taxes do not really curb the consumer demand for luxury goods, only to transfer this part of the consumption to foreign countries, a large number of consumption through travel to foreign countries, not only reduce domestic consumption, but also reduce jobs and taxes, equal to the Chinese people flying to other countries to send jobs and taxes.

In response, Wang suggested that the policy of reducing the import tax on luxury goods should be promulgated as soon as possible, so that it would be in line with international standards to create a shopping paradise in mainland China, leaving the Chinese people's overseas luxury consumption at home and attracting more tourists from overseas to visit China for shopping.
