Sažetak
Today's new trend is traveling for shopping. Tourist destinations do not offer shopping as a side event, as particular tourist destination developed exclusively on the basis of quality shopping of mostly luxury items. The question is/ the main hypothesis: which are those shopping destinations and what is their future. Regarding the PH1: how is it that shopping has become a favorite hobby of the modern man and such a large number of people show desire and a daily habit of buying items they do not need (food items) such as luxury goods. A man travels with the aim of finding cheap luxury items. PH2: what are the needs and desires of the modern consumer, based on which shopping destination with simple and fun luxury items shopping were created. Via Condotti in Rome and Via Montenapoleone in Milan, are the streets of the traditional fashion capitals, from where it all started and as well the inevitable fashion capitals of Paris and London. The U.S. is an important shopping destination especially the west coast with cities like Hollywod and Las Vegas casinos. Shopping in South America is set to a new level with personal communication with customers- visitors. Dubai invites its guests in a tax free shopping. New commercial markets are India and Russia, with enormous growth and development. New rich and wealthy middle class appeares daily that wants to spend a lot on luxury brands to present itself. Destinations such as Japan and China, whose nationals are able to spend their last money on luxury brands'' Not only that the west is completely unfamiliar of buyer habits from growing economies, but it is also unfamiliar to their taste (in the selection process). I am currently trying to find out just how huge is this market. There is a great interest in luxury goods on it. (Graubard, 2010). PH3: Which are the new Western markets?
