深圳商报首席评论员胡蓉 今年第一季度，深圳接待游客4811.2万人次，其中入境游客突破800万人次，同比增长17.3%，国际旅游 收入增幅达30.6%。不过，将国外游客的流量转化为城市消费的增量，深圳还须努力。 在今年3月举行的商务部专题新闻发布会上，相关负责人透露，中国目前有五个国际消费中心城市，分 别是上海、北京、广州、天津和重庆。 作为一座年轻的城市，深圳在这方面确实无法与具有悠久历史的城市相比，但年轻态、未来感和科技范 也构成了深圳的特有优势。外国游客"扫货"华强北现象，让我们看到深圳同样可以打造出独属于自己的 入境消费热点。强化这一特点，以此为支点，再辅以更加优质便利的旅游和消费环境，深圳同样可以撬 动入境消费的"大蛋糕"。 看上去，外国人在华强北购买电子产品，只是简单的"银货两讫"，实际上，背后关联着产品的性价比、 入境的便利度、支付的无障碍甚至城市的吸引力。换句话说，就是能吸引多少外国游客到深圳来、来了 愿不愿意消费、消费有没有障碍等一系列环节，只要有一个环节存在堵点，都无法促成交易。 现在，外国人"扫货"华强北已成为一个热门话题，这足以证明深圳吸引境外游客消费有其独特的优势。 受益于中国240 ...

21世纪经济报道记者李金萍 深圳报道 5月17日本是一个平常的周末，但上午10点的深圳大剧院地铁站B出口已异常热闹。一面不断有来自珠海、中山、惠州等深圳周 边城市的大巴驶入，另一面有众多等候乘车的旅客在此聚集，旅客们从这里出发前往深圳周边城市，开启快乐的周末生活。 在距离该地铁站2.7公里的罗湖口岸，呈现另一番景象，来自香港的居民正在排队过关，排队的不只有香港居民，在距离该口岸 30公里的深中通道深中大桥上，一批载有中山等珠江西岸游客的巴士也正在加速过桥，向深圳驶来。 这是深圳周末消费的一角，依托这些旅客，让深圳成为除苏州外，全国拥有常住人口最少的万亿消费之城。2024年深圳市社会 消费品零售总额为10637.7亿元，连续两年消费破万亿，2024年的消费增速更是居全国四大一线城市首位。 不过，在加速流动的人流背后，一个不争的事实是，在全国万亿消费城市中，深圳的人均收入位居第四，消费对GDP的拉动仅 高于第七位的北京0.6个百分点。 21世纪经济报道记者实地走访发现，除了高住房成本、外地人来深属性、城市制造业驱动经济发展等原因外，随着交通基础设 施的日益织密，周边的中山，以及深圳都市圈范围内的惠州、东莞等城市， ...

怎么说呢，今年的"五一"假期，成都又一次用实力证明了自己"网红城市"的称号绝非浪得虚名。美团旅 行发布的消费数据显示，成都稳居全国热门旅游目的地前三，游客量、消费额双双飙升。但你可能不知 道的是，除了火锅、熊猫和春熙路这些传统流量担当，真正让境外游客疯狂"剁手"的，其实是成都近期 大力推广的离境退税"即买即退"政策。 "以前在机场退税，排队半小时是常态，现在商场里几分钟搞定，还能用退税款继续买买买。"一位常来 成都购物的新加坡游客这样评价。而成都春熙路时代百盛的店长夏书军也提到，自从成为"即买即退"试 点后，商场客流量明显增长，尤其是波司登、江南布衣等国产品牌，成了境外游客的"新宠"。 政策红利+文旅热度，成都的"国际消费牌"怎么打？ 你可能觉得，退税政策只是个小调整，但它的影响远不止于此。成都近期发布的《加快推进境外旅客购 物离境退税"即买即退"便利化行动计划》明确提出，要扩大退税商店覆盖范围，把春熙路商圈、交子公 园商圈甚至大熊猫基地都变成退税示范点。 "即买即退"火了，境外游客直呼"太方便" 话说回来，离境退税本身不算新鲜事，但成都这次玩出了新花样——直接把退税窗口从机场"搬"进了商 场。想象一下，你在 ...
