VENICE, Italy, Jan. 21, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Ctrip attended

Tourism Administration, Ms Elżbieta Bieńkowska, EU Commissioner for

Market.
In July 2016, Chinese Premier Li
Keqiang and President of the European Commission, Jean-Claude Juncker jointly announced that 2018
will be" China-EU Tourism Year." Since 2017, Ctrip has reached
strategic cooperation agreements with dozens of European
destinations such as Ireland,
Portugal, Spain and Austria. At present, Ctrip's overseas one-stop
travel service has covered all European countries from the
Mediterranean to Scandinavia. Ms Jenna
Qian, CEO of Ctrip's Destination Marketing and the European
Travel Commission (ETC) signed the strategic cooperation agreement
during the opening ceremony. In addition to Ctrip's speech on how
to produce and promote one-stop travel services and panel
discussions, Ctrip and China Tourism Academy (CTA) also released
their joint report on the 2017 China-Europe Tourism
Market.
Jenna Qian, CEO of Ctrip's
Destination Marketing, said, "Ctrip's destination marketing has
partnered with more than 300 global destinations. Based on big
data, we are able to analyse user behaviour and provide them with
personalized travel products and services. We will provide a better
promotion and communication platform for China and Europe."
Ms Qian noted that as European destinations are promoted and the
continent becomes more acquainted with Chinese tourist behaviors,
this will also help to push Chinese cities abroad. She said, "Ctrip
will become a bridge between China
and the West and will support the development of distinctive
tourism products and services for One Belt One Road countries."
With more than 300 million registered members from which 25
million are foreigners, Ctrip plays a leading role as the largest
online travel agent in China and
the second largest in the world. From first purchasing Europe's meta search Skyscanner at the end of
2016 for US$1.7 billion to agreements
with various travel partners, Ctrip will work together with the
European Travel Commission (ETC) in destination marketing and
growth as well as effectively contributing to cultural development
and flows of travel between China
and Europe.
