Tourist Price Index (TPI) increased by 0.90% year-on-year to 130.78, attributable to rising charges for hotel accommodation and restaurant services, as well as dearer prices of local food products. Meanwhile, falling prices of handbags, clothing and jewellery tapered off part of the increase.

TPI grew by 0.71% quarter-to-quarter. Price index of Accommodation increased on account of higher hotel room rates during the summer holidays.

On the other hand, seasonal sale of summer clothing and handbags drove down the price index of Clothing & Footwear.

The average TPI for the last four quarters ended the third quarter of 2018 rose by 3.88% from the previous period; price indices of Accommodation, Transport & Communications and Food, Alcoholic Beverages & Tobacco registered notable growth, while the index of Clothing & Footwear decreased. For the first three quarters of 2018, TPI went up by 3.28% year-on-year.
