Tourism is big business in the U.S. In 2016, 75.6 million international visitors came to the United States and collectively spent $244.7 billion across the country. For many tourists, the U.S. is considered a shopping destination for luxury goods. Why? Mostly because they may not be able to get those brands or products back home, or what they get there may be more expensive. Sometimes, the visitor may come from a country where fake goods are widespread, making it even more attractive to buy authentic goods in the U.S. that can also serve as a keepsake of the trip. As a result, most tourists spend serious time and money shopping when they travel here to the U.S.
