The Impact of Implementation of Individual Visit Scheme on the Price of Street Level Retail Shops PhD Candidate: Liu Yan, Ivy Supervisor: Prof. K. W. Chau 3rd , July, 2013
Individual Visit Scheme (IVS) • began on July 28, 2003, allowed travelers from Mainland China to visit HK and Macau on an individual basis • Street Level Retail Shops • ground floor shops within tenant-mixed buildings with a street-faced frontage and are commonly found in the older parts of the urban area Definition of Keywords
Outline 5 6 Data and Sources Expected Outcome 1 2 3 4 Background Research Questions & Objectives Literature Review & Hypotheses Research Design
Tourism Industry • in 2009, it contributed to 3.3% of GDP, employed over 193,200 persons (5.5% employment) • visitor arrivals in 2011 reached 41.9 million • Mainland China Visitors • In 2011, largest source market with 28.1 million - 67% • increases 19.43% annually from 1991 to 2011 • spend 73% expenditures on shopping on average 1 Background

Figure 4 Consumption Expenditure of all Visitors ($million) (1998-2011)
Retail Industry in HK • total retail sales: $325 billion (2010) • HK$64 billion, or 20%, was directly attributed to shopping spending of Mainland Chinese tourists • Retail Property • over 97% is in the private sector • a large amount of very small retail business types and a rather small scale of huge retailers • shopping malls, street-level retail shops, open air bazaars, markets and cooked food stalls
2.1 Research Question • Shoppers can be classified into local-shoppers and tourist-shoppers • This study examines whether there is any relationship between changes on shopper mix and the implicit prices of street level retail shops attributes • Makes use of the implementation of IVS in Hong Kong, which changed the shopper mix to undertake empirical tests 2 Research Questions & Objectives
2.2 Research Objectives • Examine the differences in shopping behaviors between local & tourist shoppers • Identify factors that affect street level retail shops price in urban areas • Identify attributes of street level retail shops which are likely to be affected by changes in local & tourist shopper mix • Formulate and test hypotheses on the impact of IVS on the implicit prices of street level retail shops attributes
3.1 TourismShopping • local-shoppers and tourist-shoppers have different shopping behaviors (Christiansen & Snepenger, 2002) • Heung and Qu (1998), tourism shopping: expenditure on goods purchased in HK, by international visitors, either for consumption in HK or for export but not including expenditure on food, drink or grocery items • Law and Au (2000): visitors’ total expenditures on non-F&B items could have been consumed locally, or could have been taken abroad 3 Literature Review
3.2 RetailProperty • Macro view • Eppli and Benjamin (1994) : central place theory, retail agglomeration economics, positive effects of large anchor-tenants and valuation of shopping centers • Others: Sirmans and Guidry (1993), Benjamin, Boyle, and Sirmans (1990), O'Roarty, McGreal, and Adair (1997), etc
Microview • Craig, Ghosh, and McLafferty (1984): area or market, potential shops, optimal, physical features • Sirmans and Guidry (1993) summarized four kinds of main factors: market condition, customer drawing power, building design and location • Others: Yuo, Crosby, Lizieri, and McCann (2003), Gatzlaff, Sirmans, and Diskin (2001), etc. Teller (2008)
Hong Kong case • Richard S. Tay, Clement K. Lau, and Marie S. Leung (1999) • Chau, Pretorius, and Yu (2000) studied street level retail shops in Mong Kok • Ning (2011) conducted a further research
3.3 Property Price Determinants • Many studies have been done to study various factors that affect property prices or rentals, say Archer, Gatzlaff, and Ling (1996), Gibbons and Machin (2008), Tsun (2010), etc • Building Age • Hottest variables: Knight and Sirmans (1996), Lee, Chung, and Kim (2005), Rehm, Filippova, and Stone (2006), etc • Depreciation & negative effect v.s. positive influence
Neighborhood Attributes • Rodriguez and Sirmans (1994), Wolverton (1997), Yiu, Chau, and Wong (2008), Kestens, Theriault, and Rosiers (2004), Hui, Chau, Pun, and Law (2007) etc • Parks, hospitals, banks or supermarkets, sea view, mountain view • For retail properties, the most important issue is the power of generating potential customers (R.S. Tay, C.K. Lau, & M.S. Leung, 1999)
Transportation • bus, railway, MTR availability, distance to certain stations or CBD • positive effect: Chalermpong (2007), Shin, Washington, and Choi (2007), Tse (2002), Choy, Mak, and Ho (2007) • negative effect: Poon (1978) and Forrest, Glen, and Ward (1996), Nelson(2008), Chau and Ng (1998) • little has been done with reference to retail property: Damm, Lerman, Lerner-Lam, and Young (1980)
3.4 ResearchGap • Previous research objectives focused mainly on shopping malls or shopping centers, nearly no studies on street-level retail shops • There is no empirical study on the relationship of shopper mix and implicit prices of retail shops attributes
3.5 Hypotheses • H1: Implementation of the Individual Visit Scheme will increase the positive impact of building age on prices of street level retail shops, other things being equal Rationale • Older street level shops occupy premier locations first as the urban area develops • AGE is a proxy for how well-known these locations are
H2: Implementation of the Individual Visit Scheme will increase the positive impact of upper level retail use on the prices of street-level retail shops, other things being equal Rationale • Upper-level properties always carried out for other use; • Different property type has different pedestrian drawing powers
H3: Implementation of the Individual Visit Scheme will increase the positive impact of proximity of the shops to tourist accommodation facilities, other things being equal Rationale • Proximity to accommodation facilities is of value to tourists but not local shoppers.
H4: Implementation of the Individual Visit Scheme will increase positive impact of proximity of the shops to MTR stations, other things being equal. Rationale • Proximity to MTR is a measure of accessibility of shops • Accessibility of shops is more important to tourist than local shopper
