Malls Lure Foreign Luxury Shoppers for the Holidays

When you are out doing your holiday shopping this fall, don't be surprised to see a few shoppers who have come along way to check off their holiday list. CNN Money reports that due to the weak dollar, shoppers from other countries are coming to the States where their money will go farther. Malls and outlets, which are bracing for a tough season anyway, if the predictions about the economy hold true, are welcoming these shoppers with open arms. Free limo rides with Champagne and discounted hotel stays are just some of the perks that are being offered as incentives for these fat-walleted friends from far away. The Chelsea outlet centers in upstate New York, Minnesota and Seattle have Canadians crossing the border for shopping sprees. In Miami, shoppers are flooding in from Latin and South America. Foreign travel agents are busily arranging shopping trips for Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving which is traditionally the biggest shopping event of the year.
