The factory outlet shop market is small in the UK compared to the US. However their success is encouraging further development. Most factory outlet malls in the US are restricted to shopping, but UK operations are also offering a mix of shopping and leisure. However shopping continues to be the major attraction for visitors and people will travel great distances. There are arguments that such developments can help to raise the profile of places away from the regular tourist market.
