As the largest online travel agent in Asia and the second largest

the launch in January 2016, Ctrip Customized Travel has seen
increased user demand up to 120,000 per month. With more than 1,000

countries, Ctrip’s Customized Travel is the biggest customized
travel platform in Asia. It provides a hassle-free one-stop service

unique and transparent.
In order to fully support this year’s China-Europe Tourism Year,
Ctrip Customized Travel will hold the first Business Summit in
Budapest, Hungary on the 16th of April. Ctrip hopes to meet
European travel suppliers so that we can work together to better
cater for the growing number of Chinese travelers who are opting
for more customized tours. From previous cooperation with
suppliers, we have seen an increase of the number and quality of
travel products and services as well as an increase in daily
orders.
According to Ctrip’s “2017 Customized Travel Report”, 2017
marked the beginning of popularization of customized travel in
China. More than one million requests were made in 2017. 60% was
for domestic tourism with Sanya, Xiamen, Beijing, Lijiang and
Shanghai as the top five most popular destinations for travelers.
For outbound requests, people traveled mostly to Thailand, Japan,
Indonesia, Singapore and Vietnam. 80% of travelers requested for
‘slower’ trips that are more unique and personalized. 60% placed
local cuisine experiences above all else, 55% opted for unique
hotel experiences while 30% of requests were made for marriage
proposals and honeymoons. 80% of customized trips were made by
those travelling with their families. Those born in the 1980s
and 1990s are the main force behind this craze for customized
travel.
With strong preferences for self-coordinated and personalized
tours, Chinese travelers are becoming more willing to spend money
on gaining local experiences. There is greater demand for unique
high-quality and individualized travel products and services. As
more travelers become selective in their chosen travel destination,
Ctrip Customized Travel continues to cater to their diverse
needs.
