The island's revamped duty-free policy is seriously moving the needle on tourist spending. After the policy kicked in on November 1st, sales shot up 27% in just the first month—pretty solid numbers. Now with full customs infrastructure rolling out mid-December, this place is positioning itself as a legit international retail destination. The data suggests momentum is building, and if these trends hold, we might see the region carve out a stronger position in the global duty-free market. Worth watching how this plays out over the next few quarters.

A 27% increase? This data is a bit watery, has the Double Eleven effect faded?

The 27% increase shows that the market is indeed buying it, and the dividend period of this wave of duty-free policies has just begun

The monthly growth rate of 27% is quite good. However, Xiong Xiong is a little curious, can this wave of impulse be maintained until Q2, or is it just a flash in the pan of the policy dividend period?

The 27% increase is really good, but the real test is yet to come
