估計遊客旅行預算的三分之一左右花費在零售商品上。
>> ✶左右撇子之謎:終於找到答案了!? Why Are There More Right-Handed People Than Left-Handed People?

  These days, it’s estimated that around one-third of the average tourist’s travel budget is spent on retail items. However, most souvenirs people buy on vacation probably aren’t even produced in the country they are visiting. Think of all the ball caps, T-shirts, bracelets, bumper stickers, and novelty items on sale at any tourist hotspot. Often, these items are produced on the opposite side of the world and shipped to the local area where they are sold.

  In the 21st century, the current model of the souvenir industry just isn’t sustainable. The fuel spent on shipping massive containers of cheap, mass-produced items has a serious environmental impact. In many cases, the people making these inexpensive clothing and plastic items may be working at factories in poor conditions. What’s more, such souvenirs don’t benefit the local community where they are sold in the same way as locally produced items do.
