0:00:04 > 0:00:07Hello and welcome to the Travel Show, and we are coming
0:00:07 > 0:00:10this week from New York City.
0:00:10 > 0:00:13A little later I will be heading to Queens to test
0:00:13 > 0:00:16out my storytelling skills.
0:00:16 > 0:00:20Also coming up on this week's programme:
0:00:20 > 0:00:23Rajan meets the travellers who would rather visit a mall
0:00:23 > 0:00:25than a museum to shop until they drop.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Michelle takes to the skies in this month's Global Guide.
0:00:57 > 0:01:01Dubai, Singapore, Paris, New York and London.
0:01:01 > 0:01:05Some of the most popular travel destinations in the world and also
0:01:05 > 0:01:07places where you can shop until you drop and gorge
0:01:07 > 0:01:09yourself on luxury labels, maybe bagging a bargain
0:01:09 > 0:01:17along the way.
0:01:17 > 0:01:18Shopping always seems massive.
0:01:18 > 0:01:21Shopping is more than just a transaction, it is an experience,
0:01:21 > 0:01:28it is emotional, sociable.
0:01:28 > 0:01:32Some call it sport or an art, but it is more than just buying
0:01:32 > 0:01:36stuff and there is quite a lot of synergy between shopping and travel.
0:01:36 > 0:01:39Now, look, of course it is an age-old tradition to come
0:01:39 > 0:01:42back from a trip abroad with a few trinkets for the kids,
0:01:42 > 0:01:45a souvenir for your dad, and a momento for your mum.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48But these days the plundering of chic labels and exclusive brands,
0:01:48 > 0:01:52well, it is off the scale.
0:01:55 > 0:01:57And shopping has been officially acknowledged as a tourism
0:01:57 > 0:02:01phenomenon in its own right.
0:02:01 > 0:02:04The UN no less now recognise shopping tourism as a contemporary
0:02:04 > 0:02:06form of tourism fostered by individuals for whom purchasing
0:02:06 > 0:02:08goods outside of the usual environment is a determining factor
0:02:08 > 0:02:12in the decision to travel.
0:02:12 > 0:02:15In other words, hitting the shops is now high on the list of why
0:02:15 > 0:02:20many people travel.
0:02:20 > 0:02:25Harrods, Oxford Street.
0:02:25 > 0:02:29You can get the same thing but the shopping is an enjoyment.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32It is a different experience.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36Everybody prefers to go shopping in London,
0:02:36 > 0:02:39there are a lot of streets, it is a very important trading
0:02:39 > 0:02:43street around the world.
0:02:43 > 0:02:46The UN WTO study revealed one in three tourists visit Barcelona
0:02:46 > 0:02:49primarily to shop and then spend a third of their total travel
0:02:49 > 0:02:57budget on retail.
0:02:57 > 0:03:00Singaporean tourists spend on average three quarters
0:03:00 > 0:03:03of a holiday budget during trips to the USA on retail goods.
0:03:03 > 0:03:05Some destinations like Dubai have made their shopping malls a primary
0:03:05 > 0:03:07attraction for visitors, with three-day shopping festivals
0:03:07 > 0:03:10and extra incentives to keep the kids happy, like the world's
0:03:10 > 0:03:13second largest crocodile.
0:03:13 > 0:03:17Whoa!
0:03:17 > 0:03:19The growing affluence of the booming middle classes in Asia
0:03:19 > 0:03:23and the Middle East over the last two decades has had a marked
0:03:23 > 0:03:24impact on global retail.
0:03:24 > 0:03:28According to the China Tourism Research Institute,
0:03:28 > 0:03:30China had 120 million outbound visitors in 2015 and they spent more
0:03:30 > 0:03:38than 100 billion US dollars.
0:03:38 > 0:03:40That makes them the world's aggregate spenders on their travels
0:03:40 > 0:03:42by some distance.
0:03:42 > 0:03:45I was in Italy last summer.
0:03:45 > 0:03:48You could see hundreds and thousands of Chinese and other guests queueing
0:03:48 > 0:03:51up in front of the luxury shops.
0:03:51 > 0:03:57They are doing this because it is the difference
0:03:57 > 0:04:03between 30% and 20%, which is a lot.
0:04:03 > 0:04:07If it is discounts you are after, post-Brexit, go to London
0:04:07 > 0:04:12in the summer sales, where the bargains are easy.
0:04:12 > 0:04:19And that means ker-ching!
0:04:19 > 0:04:22for the big brand stores - mind you, none of the major
0:04:22 > 0:04:26retailers we approached wanted to be interviewed on camera for fear
0:04:26 > 0:04:29of crowing too much about the ringing tills they have
0:04:29 > 0:04:34been enjoying while the rest of the country's economy
0:04:34 > 0:04:37readjusts to the prospect of life outside the EU.
0:04:37 > 0:04:38Hang on a minute.
0:04:38 > 0:04:41Some of us avid shopperphobics may still be confused,
0:04:41 > 0:04:47is the prospect of a bargain so appealing as to make the primary
0:04:47 > 0:04:49reason why people holiday in a certain destination?
0:04:49 > 0:04:54It is all about brain chemistry apparently.
0:04:54 > 0:05:00What you tend to get is a rush of dopamine,
0:05:00 > 0:05:05and the really interesting thing is now you do not just get dopamine
0:05:05 > 0:05:08when you shop, but we now know you get it in the run-up
0:05:08 > 0:05:10to going shopping.
0:05:10 > 0:05:12Because people go on holiday for pleasure, the minute
0:05:12 > 0:05:15they get on the plane, even before, they are saying they're
0:05:15 > 0:05:18going to have a nice time, and because people have decided
0:05:18 > 0:05:21they are going to have a pleasurable experience, it means
0:05:21 > 0:05:24that there is arguably less impulse control and they do not really worry
0:05:24 > 0:05:29about their bank account when they are on holiday,
0:05:29 > 0:05:32they will worry about that when they get home and that means
0:05:32 > 0:05:33retailers can make even more money.
0:05:33 > 0:05:36Kelly Craigshead is a senior executive and also a self-confessed
0:05:36 > 0:05:38shopaholic, indulging in over 100 countries, she says.
0:05:38 > 0:05:42It is the thrill of the hunt.
0:05:42 > 0:05:45I certainly look for things I could not find elsewhere,
0:05:45 > 0:05:48and I think that is an important part of travel.
0:05:48 > 0:05:51Finding the little nook or the corner store but knowing that
0:05:51 > 0:05:54you also have the big brands to really meet your needs
0:05:54 > 0:05:54when you're travelling.
0:05:54 > 0:05:59It is the thrill of the hunt.
0:06:03 > 0:06:07There is the memento of buying a Louis Vuitton bag or a Versace
0:06:07 > 0:06:11whatever because it is a status symbol and one of the things now.
0:06:11 > 0:06:21We live in a world where shopping is interconnected.
0:06:21 > 0:06:25With a population of 7 billion people.
0:06:25 > 0:06:28Working in retail, one of the aspects of this is,
0:06:28 > 0:06:30if I can get something someone else cannot,
0:06:30 > 0:06:31I am further ahead.
0:06:31 > 0:06:33It is a survivalist streak and it is a competition
0:06:33 > 0:06:36against you and the person who might buy that product
0:06:36 > 0:06:37is standing behind you.
0:06:37 > 0:06:39Of course there is one country that created consumerism
0:06:39 > 0:06:40as a lifestyle choice.
0:06:40 > 0:06:42Even if you cannot afford it.
0:06:42 > 0:06:44And this is where it all began.
0:06:44 > 0:06:49In Texas, America's oldest outdoor shopping centre.
0:06:49 > 0:06:51In a country which invented mass consumerism, surely this stands
0:06:51 > 0:07:00as an icon of classic Americana.
0:07:00 > 0:07:05Today, Highland Park Village in Fort Worth, Texas is very much
0:07:05 > 0:07:09a high-end retail estate, with some brands out of most
0:07:09 > 0:07:12people's range, and many purely functioning as a brand showcase.
0:07:12 > 0:07:16But they do serve a purpose.
0:07:16 > 0:07:18The luxury sector is a good example of where shopping
0:07:18 > 0:07:22tourism is booming.
0:07:22 > 0:07:25They are understanding the global consumer,
0:07:25 > 0:07:27and they will be in a shop and want to spend money
0:07:27 > 0:07:30but they might be online doing the research.
0:07:30 > 0:07:32You and I might get inspired by Instagram or look online
0:07:32 > 0:07:36for research, but we might still head to the shop
0:07:36 > 0:07:38because we want the customer service, specially if we are
0:07:38 > 0:07:42spending a lot of money.
0:07:42 > 0:07:45I'm still uneasy about this retail frenzy.
0:07:45 > 0:07:48Do not get me wrong, I am all for immersive experiences
0:07:48 > 0:07:50over traipsing through some boring old historical building when you go
0:07:50 > 0:07:53abroad, but would you rather go to a shopping mall
0:07:53 > 0:07:55which is virtually identical to the one around the corner
0:07:55 > 0:07:58from where you live over going to see an amazing piece of art
0:07:58 > 0:08:04at the Louvre, the Guggenheim or the National Portrait Gallery?
0:08:06 > 0:08:09I would not really diminish the value of going to a shop
0:08:09 > 0:08:11versus the value of going to a museum or a gallery
0:08:12 > 0:08:17or something like that.
0:08:17 > 0:08:21Both are important in people's lives, spending money is important,
0:08:21 > 0:08:23creating jobs is important and living something
0:08:23 > 0:08:24different is important.
0:08:24 > 0:08:28I would not draw any very strong line between the two.
0:08:28 > 0:08:30Do you know what?
0:08:30 > 0:08:34There is a place on this planet where an icon in the world of luxury
0:08:34 > 0:08:37shopping is not a retail outlet but a recognised work of art.
0:08:37 > 0:08:42It is in the middle of a desert in Texas.
0:08:42 > 0:08:48Retail as high culture - what has the world come to?
0:08:50 > 0:08:54And if you like a bit of retail therapy when you travel,
0:08:54 > 0:08:57here are some of our top tips to help you get the best out
0:08:58 > 0:08:59of your next trip.
0:08:59 > 0:09:01Berlin came a surprise second in the latest shopping survey
0:09:01 > 0:09:04by travel website Expedia.
0:09:04 > 0:09:07It ranked the German capital ahead of London and runner-up to New York
0:09:07 > 0:09:10when it came to its variety of shops, visitor numbers
0:09:10 > 0:09:13and blogger recommendations.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia and Istanbul in Turkey also
0:09:15 > 0:09:23scored high on the list for lovers of retail therapy.
0:09:23 > 0:09:26Remember it is well worth reading up on the laws concerning buying
0:09:26 > 0:09:28counterfeit products in any country you're planning on visiting
0:09:29 > 0:09:32before you travel.
0:09:32 > 0:09:36Although you might be tempted to buy that fake handbag in the hope that
0:09:36 > 0:09:39will fool your friends back home, it pays to know that some countries
0:09:39 > 0:09:41especially in Europe impose heavy fines or even prison
0:09:41 > 0:09:48sentences on anyone caught buying counterfeit goods.
0:09:48 > 0:09:51And although Asia is usually quoted as the best place to buy
0:09:51 > 0:09:56cut-price electronics, you will often find better deals
0:09:56 > 0:09:59in America, where low import tariffs and sales taxes can mean that things
0:09:59 > 0:10:02like smartphones and laptops are cheaper than back home.
0:10:09 > 0:10:15Still to come on the Travel Show:

0:13:09 > 0:13:12in a wicker basket for several days, this is all about adventure,
0:13:12 > 0:13:17courage, strategy and of course luck.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33Architecture, performance and music take over hundreds of venues from

0:14:41 > 0:14:44That is my global guide this month, let me know what is happening
0:14:44 > 0:14:50in the place where you live or where you love.
0:14:50 > 0:14:52We are on e-mail and across social media.
0:14:52 > 0:14:55To finish this week, let us head to New York where truth
0:14:55 > 0:14:58is sometimes stranger than fiction and people are now getting
0:14:58 > 0:15:01the chance to tell their own stories on stage at a regular
0:15:01 > 0:15:04event called The Moth.
0:15:10 > 0:15:12Broadway, it's home to some of the biggest productions in acting
0:15:12 > 0:15:15history and where tourists from around the world come to watch
0:15:15 > 0:15:24A-listers tread the boards.
0:15:24 > 0:15:27Here in the Big Apple there is another type of show
0:15:27 > 0:15:33that is pulling in the crowds.
0:15:34 > 0:15:36One where the stars are New Yorkers themselves.
0:15:36 > 0:15:39I'm here to find out about the revival of the oldest form
0:15:39 > 0:15:43of storytelling and I am heading to Queens to meet a man who can tell
0:15:43 > 0:15:45me all about this new old tradition.
0:15:45 > 0:15:48Tonight's event is hosted by Peter Aguero, a veteran
0:15:48 > 0:15:50storyteller and there is a chance I might be taking
0:15:50 > 0:15:55to the stage as well.
0:15:55 > 0:15:57Storytelling is the oldest form of communication.
0:15:57 > 0:16:03People have been doing it forever.
0:16:03 > 0:16:05Cave paintings are stories, you know.
0:16:05 > 0:16:08Definitely in the last, maybe, 15 to 17 years there has been
0:16:08 > 0:16:11a revival of people wanting to hear the true first person narrative
0:16:11 > 0:16:14stories and The Moth was definitely the vanguard of that
0:16:14 > 0:16:17although there are groups all over the US that do this.
0:16:18 > 0:16:21You are the expert tell me what makes a good story.
0:16:21 > 0:16:24The simple answer to that is you start at the beginning
0:16:24 > 0:16:25and tell the truth.
0:16:25 > 0:16:27It is all easily more complicated than that.
0:16:27 > 0:16:29There has to be a change.
0:16:29 > 0:16:36That is the key.
0:16:36 > 0:16:39No one wants to hear a story where you woke up in the morning
0:16:39 > 0:16:42and you were awesome and at the end of the day you were awesome.
0:16:42 > 0:16:44No one cares about that, we want to hear that you failed.
0:16:44 > 0:16:47The moth was founded back in the late 1990s and the idea came
0:16:47 > 0:16:50from a poet and novelist who wanted to recreate the feeling of Southern
0:16:50 > 0:16:53sultry summer evenings in his native Georgia when moths were attracted
0:16:53 > 0:16:56to the light on his porch where he and his friends
0:16:56 > 0:16:59would gather to tell stories.
0:16:59 > 0:17:01Now people from cleaners to schoolteachers and war veterans
0:17:01 > 0:17:04are getting the chance to share their own personal stories
0:17:04 > 0:17:08in front of audiences across New York City and beyond.
0:17:11 > 0:17:14I guess that it feels authentic and also it is an artform
0:17:14 > 0:17:22that anyone can do.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25I cannot be a sumo wrestler or dance very well but I probably can tell
0:17:25 > 0:17:27a story that is human communication.
0:17:27 > 0:17:29It is very accessible to all kinds of people.
0:17:29 > 0:17:33I can tell a story.
0:17:38 > 0:17:40Tonight's moth event is being held at Flushing Town Hall,
0:17:40 > 0:17:42an historic building located in Queens to an almost
0:17:42 > 0:17:43sold-out crowd.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45The show started in 2001, a little show in New York
0:17:45 > 0:17:47City's Lower East Side, a few people...
0:17:47 > 0:17:50I was begging my mother to come, someone please come to the audience
0:17:51 > 0:17:54and tell some stories.
0:17:54 > 0:17:58Then by word of mouth it grew and then New York City got two slams
0:17:58 > 0:18:01per month and then we moved into three and four and then
0:18:01 > 0:18:04we thought maybe we can try Los Angeles and now we are in 26
0:18:04 > 0:18:06cities all over the world actually.
0:18:06 > 0:18:09We are not only in cities all over America but also in London,
0:18:09 > 0:18:12we are in Dublin we are in Sydney and Melbourne, Australia.
0:18:12 > 0:18:14Our first storyteller this evening will be Liv Lansdale.
0:18:14 > 0:18:17Come on!
0:18:18 > 0:18:21Anyone who wants to tell a story has to come prepared.
0:18:21 > 0:18:24The idea is that stories have to be told and not read.
0:18:24 > 0:18:30Meaning no scripts or notepaper to hand.
0:18:30 > 0:18:32Somehow that dog ended up telling me everything that I now
0:18:32 > 0:18:36know about love.
0:18:36 > 0:18:38Each event features ten volunteer storytellers who are
0:18:38 > 0:18:39picked at random.
0:18:39 > 0:18:42And every other sound my sister who was older, a friend
0:18:42 > 0:18:48and I would go to the movie.
0:18:48 > 0:18:52They can talk up to five minutes each and are then given a score
0:18:52 > 0:18:54by a team of judges.
0:18:54 > 0:18:57The winner goes on to perform at the Moth Grand Slam
0:18:57 > 0:19:04so no pressure then!
0:19:04 > 0:19:06She has forgot she has to write down the scores.
0:19:06 > 0:19:07This is quite nerve-wracking.
0:19:07 > 0:19:10The prospect of me being up on that stage sometime soon
0:19:10 > 0:19:11is freaking me out.
0:19:11 > 0:19:129.2, very nice, we applaud.
0:19:12 > 0:19:15Strictly between you and me I am secretly keeping my fingers crossed
0:19:15 > 0:19:17that I will not be chosen.
0:19:17 > 0:19:19You can imagine my horror when this happened.
0:19:19 > 0:19:20Give it up for Chrissy!
0:19:20 > 0:19:24Here she comes.
0:19:24 > 0:19:25Let us make her feel welcome.
0:19:25 > 0:19:27There she is.
0:19:27 > 0:19:33Come on!
0:19:33 > 0:19:36And although I do perform in front of a camera for my day job,
0:19:36 > 0:19:38I feel exposed and generally out of my comfort zone
0:19:39 > 0:19:43as you can probably tell.
0:19:43 > 0:19:45You're not close enough to the microphone.
0:19:45 > 0:19:47Hi.
0:19:47 > 0:19:50I am a travel journalist and a little while ago
0:19:50 > 0:19:54I was in Japan and I was there to interview a very famous chef
0:19:54 > 0:19:57and he was bringing out with great pomp and ceremony this dish
0:19:57 > 0:19:59he had created for me.
0:19:59 > 0:20:03And it is coming towards me and it has kind of a crab leg
0:20:03 > 0:20:06sticking out of the top.
0:20:06 > 0:20:09Of all the things that I just cannot eat and there are many
0:20:09 > 0:20:11things I cannot eat, just seafood is right up
0:20:11 > 0:20:14there at the top, there is almost nothing from the sea that
0:20:14 > 0:20:16I will happily put in my mouth.
0:20:16 > 0:20:18So I asked my translator, what is this?
0:20:18 > 0:20:26And she looked at me and said, she asked the chef,
0:20:26 > 0:20:31she said, "Oh, it's fugu - a Japanese pufferfish".
0:20:31 > 0:20:34You know the one where if they prepare it in a very
0:20:34 > 0:20:36slightly wrong way, you can die because it is full of neurotoxins.
0:20:37 > 0:20:38I was like, ha-ha!
0:20:38 > 0:20:40I went to put it in my mouth.
0:20:40 > 0:20:44I bit down on it.
0:20:44 > 0:20:47And it didn't yield in the way that I thought.
0:20:47 > 0:20:51It popped in my mouth like a cyst.
0:20:53 > 0:20:56Despite my nerves and to my total surprise, I came joint runner-up
0:20:56 > 0:21:00in the contest tonight.
0:21:00 > 0:21:02The hands down winner was Juliette Holmes,
0:21:02 > 0:21:04a retired grandmother whose endearing story about her early
0:21:04 > 0:21:09childhood really won over the crowds.
0:21:09 > 0:21:14How we turned the movie show out on a Saturday afternoon
0:21:14 > 0:21:18in Savannah Georgia, in 1950.
0:21:18 > 0:21:21Thank you.
0:21:21 > 0:21:25So, if you're coming to New York and fancy a change from Broadway,
0:21:25 > 0:21:28then the Moth could make a good night out and who knows?
0:21:28 > 0:21:31You could even end up on stage yourself.
0:21:31 > 0:21:31Now he's apologising to me.
0:21:38 > 0:21:41I think I might have found a new hobby there.
0:21:41 > 0:21:43That is all we have got time for on this week's show
0:21:43 > 0:21:46but coming up next week...
0:21:47 > 0:21:48Wow!
0:21:48 > 0:21:49Yeah.
0:21:49 > 0:21:50This is it.
0:21:50 > 0:21:53Henry is in Turkey to take part in a dig that is uncovering
0:21:53 > 0:21:56a thousand years of history on a scale that is
0:21:56 > 0:22:00truly breathtaking.
0:22:00 > 0:22:02Despite all the research that we do, there is always
0:22:02 > 0:22:06the element of the unknown.
0:22:06 > 0:22:10So do join us then if you can and in the meantime do not forget
0:22:10 > 0:22:12you can catch up with us having our adventures
0:22:12 > 0:22:15in real-time by signing up to our social media field.
0:22:15 > 0:22:16Details are on the screen.
0:22:16 > 0:22:20For me for now and the rest of the team here in New York City,
0:22:20 > 0:22:23it is goodbye.
