For many people, one of the pleasures of traveling abroad is buying the arts and crafts of a foreign culture. English tourists in Hong Kong, for example, like Chinese arts and crafts because they think they are exotic. Even things as common as a pair of chopsticks a mah-jong set or a name stamp, are popular items for visiting tourists. They are typical examples of Chinese culture which make attractive ornaments(装饰品) for the home and good presents for friends.
So when Philip Wong and his sister Anna left school and tock over their father's tourist shop in Tsim Sha Tsui, they were not surprised to find that many tourists were interested in these small, relatively inexpensive goods. “Even so, we found that business was not really very good. We had a lot of competition and only made a small profit on most of the items we sold,” said Philip. “Then Anna had the idea of selling arts and crafts from other countries as well!”
The pair went on a shopping trip around the Southeast Asian area, making contracts in Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia. They bought jewelry, clothes and art work in all these countries and displayed them in a special section of their shop. They were surprised to see how popular these goods were-not only among foreign tourists, but also with local people.
Now they have opened a new shop in North Point which sells goods from many more countries, including some in European and South America. The shop is specially with Hong Kong people such as businessmen, who travel abroad a lot, but never have the time to buy gifts while they are away. “Actually some of our customers just want to impress their friends by pretending that they have actually visited the country,” added Anna with a smile.
