The importance of ‘experience’ in retail and leisure is a consumer trend that cannot be ignored in designing a strategy to transform and manage an area. Shopping is increasingly based on want rather than need and consumer expectations have changed and continue to evolve rapidly. Most consumers now identify shopping as a leisure pursuit. Retail destinations have not responded to this changing environment in meeting the needs of this increasingly demanding customer. The shopping experience itself is often considered to be disappointing.
