What is the economic impact of shopping tourism in Italy, and how does it contribute to the overall tourism sector?

In 2024, Italian shopping tourism generated an estimated €20-22 billion in spending, with 2.4 million tourists visiting primarily for shopping (a 14% increase from 2023). This growth is attributed to successful promotion of Italian brands abroad, attracting high-spending customers to cities like Milan, Florence, and Rome.
