Partnership to boost development and cooperation between
China and Central and
Eastern Europe Countries (CEEC)
BUDAPEST, Hungary, Nov. 30, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Ctrip and the Hungarian Tourism Agency signed a
strategic cooperation agreement on November 28, 2017. Mr. Victor Tseng, Vice President of Ctrip's
Corporate Affairs signed the agreement alongside the CEO of the
Hungarian Tourism Agency, Mr. Zoltan
Guller.
This signed agreement between Ctrip and the Hungarian Tourism
Agency is another milestone in both the development of tourism and
trade between China and
Hungary and the long-term
cooperation between China and the
CEEC. Hungary was the first European country to sign
a MOU relating to China's
"One Belt, One Road"
Initiative.
Eastern Europe and Hungary are rapidly becoming popular
destination hotspots for Chinese travelers. According to Ctrip's
November Statistics, Hungary
enjoyed a 40% hike in growth year on year from visits made by
Chinese tourists. They spent an average of more than 9,000 RMB per person in-country. Ctrip's 2017
October Golden Week Travel Report noted a 95% increase in visits to
Hungary year on year. Moreover,
searches on Ctrip for flights to Hungary rose by 70% during the past 11
months.
Interest in Hungary as a travel
destination received a boost after the August airing of the Chinese
TV Series "Love Actually." Sponsored by Ctrip and supported by the
Hungarian Tourism Agency, the series was filmed on location in
Budapest. Through their joint
efforts, Ctrip and the Hungarian Tourism Agency, with support from
the Hungarian government, will continue to provide Chinese outbound
travelers with a wide range of exciting travel options.
Ctrip's Corporate Affairs Vice President Victor Tseng said, "Chinese travellers are
increasingly discovering Hungary
as a top-tier vacation destination. We look forward to working
closely with the Hungarian Tourism Agency to continue to promote
Hungary through Ctrip's leading
online travel platform."
Mr. Tseng noted that the rapid
growth of Chinese tourism presents broad prospects for development,
and under the framework of the "OBOR' Initiatives and the "16+1
Cooperation", Ctrip continues to strengthen cooperation with all
CEEC partners.
