Wealthy Chinese and Russians flock to Germany to spend

German customs officials the luxury goods have seen far more through their checkpoints this year than they ever be able to afford themselves. Take for example the Russian traveler who bought three Patek Philippe watches, with a value of over € 1.5 million ($ 2 million). Or another Russian, who showed a penchant for watches at a relatively modest Lange & Sohne, each worth only € 50,000. However, the man had bought no less than 18 of these replica watches. They were not all for himself, the man explained: "These are my friends, I'm going to celebrate my 50th birthday."

Likewise, it is not uncommon for a large family to bring Arab customs by buying Louis Vuitton handbags and fashion Hermès value of € 100,000.

All of these tourists come to the airport customs officials for the same thing: a stamp, they save a lot of money. The travelers from third countries can claim a refund of VAT on items they buy paid, usually 19 percent of the purchase price. There are days when Customs officers are unlikely to be able to manage the influx of tourists, heavily laden. Often form long queues at the counters inches shortly before departure for flights Moscow, Beijing and Dubai. The same applies to incoming flights when arriving passengers must declare cash amounts over € 10,000. "Statements of cash have increased dramatically," says Christine Strauss at the customs office of Frankfurt Airport.

'Prestige conscious'

Luxury goods retailers in Germany are obviously pleased with the development. The New Wall, a shopping street in Hamburg, including Hermès and Louis Vuitton stores, Russian, Chinese and Arabic have long been part of everyday life. Many of the shops specifically for their employees serve customers in these countries, and they have staff who speak Mandarin and other languages ​​set. "Many of our customers are from Asia," says Karl Heinz Peters, an expert on watches in the jewelry store jeweler Wempe in Hamburg's city center. These customers from the Far East, he adds, are "prestige-conscious and those who love luxury. More expensive, the better."

In a nearby branch of the watchmaker Omega, other customers have sometimes themselves fully with the store serviced by a dozen or so customers in China. These wealthy travelers to Germany to see a shopper's paradise. "Asians, in particular, can save a lot of money, because of the high taxes on luxury goods back home," Peters said, adding that Germany the added advantage that these valued goods are available at any time and has guaranteed to be authentic.

Standing in front of the store itself Yelena and Viktor is from St. Petersburg. "We use a business trip, like the ability to shop," Victor said, to say that the selection of Hamburg is much greater than that of St. Petersburg, and clothing, in particular, often cost less than half of what will be in Russia. "We save, even if we had to pay customs duties when we return in Russia, "Yelena said.

Jewelry stores across Germany began to do everything to satisfy international customers. At the upper end of the Düsseldorf Königsallee shopping street, jeweler Christel Heilmann shows the necklaces, earrings and swiss replica watches in a shop on two floors. Customers have to ring a bell at the front door to enter, but if you're in one, Russian and Chinese customers can count on to find employees who advise them on their purchases to include in their own language. "Not a day goes by without the customers here in China," said Heilmann, and is considering the publication of a catalog of products is in Chinese. He says he has been the most important concepts of jewelry in China, and some phrases like "thank you" and learned "Goodbye." He is currently looking to hire an employee of the Arabic language.

Holiday purchases

Dresden, meanwhile, is a special effort when it comes to customers in Russia. Picturesquely perched on the banks of the Elbe, Dresden has received more than 15,000 Russian visitors from January to September 2012, three times more than in all of 2007. He spent € 5 million these nine months, twice as much as in 2011.

In fact, in October, two airlines several times a week between Moscow and Dresden with the airport now has a separate counter for passengers from Russia. Here, in the days before Christmas Russian Orthodox Russian guests are greeted by a hostess in dresses with sequins and fur caps, and can also request to be removed from the terminal by a car and taken directly to the stores, they are satisfied with their personal Russian. "The Russians are waiting for us," says Bettina Bunge, Head of Marketing Dresden.

Retailers are not the only ones who benefit from this boom in tourism shopping. A golden age has begun well for companies that specialize in the refund of VAT. When travelers leave Germany, which basically sell these revenues, which were stamped by customs officers as company tax refund as the Blue world leader. Companies pay the tourists that most of the refund, but the company has a share as a "service fee."

Global Blue registered a 51 percent more transactions with Chinese travelers from January to September of this year than the same period in 2011, with the company earn revenues of about € 340 million. Russian buyers came in second with a gain of 44 per cent (€ 251 million), the. By Arab buyers with a small increase of 37 percent, receipts of € 85 million And the preferences of the individual groups are predictable. Chinese tourists are interested in the rule in the first place because, watches and jewelry, while the Russians and the Arabs in general, returning from their trip commercial clothes.

If the winner was the first over the line, so the fleet this year would maybe four, five boats, not the 78, the correction is Boxing Day. The other 74 odd boats are not there to make the numbers - they are the ones who Tattersall Cup win - the true Holy Grail of Australian offshore sailing.

The winner of the Rolex Replica Sydney Hobart is not the first to get there, it's the boat that takes the least time, or should we say that. Least the 'disabled' time as a player in golf

Make a great carbon fiber thoroughbred with a canting keel and Hobart course is to come before a modest, conventional small boat, but the Rolex Sydney Hobart is not just a race between boats there is a competition between teams. So this is a handicap race.

For a period between 1999 and early 2003, Hobart yacht competed in both IMS and IRC handicap system, with the top IMS wins the Tattersalls Cup boat. But in the 2004 race takes the CYCA yacht, which had won the IRC future win the race completely.

Under IRC usually take an owner a lot of relatively simple measurements of his yacht, length, weight, overhang and sail sizes, the boat. Fixed or swing keel, water ballast, carbon fiber or aluminum pole

This information is to the credit rating agency Royal Ocean Racing Club in England, who sent a rating for the boat, which is basically a multiplier of boats elapsed time during a race issue.

Every hour boat takes multiplied quit her handicap rating factor corrected his time to produce. The higher the score, the greater the multiplier, the greater the difference between disability time and time consumption.

Remember, in this manner. Each boat is more efficient compared to a theoretical yacht with a 1 rating, so their guests, is how many minutes it should be before or after the theoretical his yacht after an hour by boat, when both crews their boats as best they can.

The winner is the team that reached the least time in Hobart, if their disability has started.

IRC took over IMS, mainly because it attempts the perfect formula for completely different yacht types and sizes. It took a very technical, scientific approach. All a yacht measurements were combined to create a 3D model to predict that the speed of the boat in the area of ​​the expected wind and wave energy conditions, with a Velocity Prediction Program.

It was a big improvement over the IOR handicap system, the Yacht Racing has dominated for years. Measured during IMS based its rate forecasts at a glance the entire hull and rigging, IOR a lot of different points on the boat, so that the designer a lot of small bumps and curves began here and there said, not because they secure the boat or faster sometimes, on the contrary, but because the reduced rating.

Mainsail was small, while large, difficult to control the headsail was even greater. The best designers "gamed" rule. So in 70, was the best IOR boats heavy displacement, finely curled, very strongly to windward, but very prone to cavities, the wind direction. She was certainly moments to stop her heart, but you would never call it exciting.

Later, when the rule developed, designers such as Bruce Farr swept the field with wedge-shaped, fuller both strands that many criticized for not very seaworthy.

IMS was both cleaner, faster, more fun and less expensive. But over time, this quest for the perfect rule were becoming more complex and technical designers and they could play with one side plate, high freeboard, low stability reign yachts.

Geoff Ross was originally a strong supporter of IMS, IMS campaigns some of the best racers in Australia under the name Yendys, but he now says that IMS was a total failure.

"Failed owner Ross says," Because it does not protect them from new boats. "An expensive, state of the art IMS boat could be replaced and more competitive than the next period of months, rolled latest IMS design out of the yard.

However, IRC much easier, and it tends to favor medium displacement and simple rigs. It also protects owners of new boats, says Ross. "It preserves the competitiveness of existing boats and new boats rewards. Look at Loki," he says, "she is 4 years old, but she is still winning races."

The same can about Love & War, the 39-year-old wooden boat, the Rolex Watches Sydney Hobart won for the third time in 2006, and others as they are told.

Critics and supporters of the ruling system all agree, but that there will be a balance in the Rolex Sydney Hobart and ocean racing usually between club-friendly cruiser racer and flat from Grand Prix types.
