CEO of Ctrip Jane Sun meets the First Minister of Scotland
April 11 2018 - 5:20AM
As the largest online travel agent in Asia and the second largest
in the world, Ctrip hosted the First Minister of Scotland Nicola
Sturgeon during her 2018 China visit. This is the Scottish First
Minister’s first visit to the Ctrip Headquarter and the first
meeting with Jane Sun, Chief Executive Officer of Ctrip.
As women leaders, Jane Sun and the Scottish First Minister both
share a desire to see gender equality improved and to be role
models to girls and young women. Ctrip continues to strongly adhere
to the United Nation Women’s Empowerment Principles and ensure that
the female voice is heard. Ctrip is deeply committed to ensuring
gender equality in the workplace through offering maternity
packages, baby bonuses and other incentives. With more than 50% of
our 30,000 plus employee base being female, Ctrip has higher female
participation rate compared with the Top 25 Tech companies in
Silicon Valley which stands at 19.6%. This is similarly shared by
Scotland due to their goal of achieving a 50/50 gender
representation on the boards of public, private and voluntary
sector boards by 2020.
China and Scotland has a great partnership as both offer room
for expansion and further cooperation in investments. Through
mutual investment and sharing of human resources across various
sectors and industries, such collaboration will ensure that both
China and Scotland will achieve win-win results.
Aimed at providing over 300 million registered members with a
one-stop travel experience, Ctrip’s dynamic partnership with
Skyscanner is a success story of cooperation and dialogue.
According to Ctrip’s Scotland travel data, we are seeing a
year-on-year growth of 120% from 2017 to 2016. Ctrip users to
Scotland spend on average 14412 RMB or 1616 pound per person.
Edinburgh remains the top favourite destination followed by the
Scottish Highlands and Loch Ness. Ctrip continues to play a vital
role in promoting peace and understanding through travel. Further
integration of technology and innovation as well as the ongoing
investment in A-B-C (Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Cloud
Computing) has allowed us to adapt to the ever growing demands of
our users and to ensure products and services that are
high-quality, hassle-free and efficient. From our Customer Service
Robots to Virtual Tour Manager to Global SOS, these are just some
examples of technological innovation. As Scotland has a thriving
entrepreneurial ecosystem that transforms innovation into products,
services and solutions with global appeal, Ctrip remains a partner
in the field of innovation and technology.
Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon said, "I was delighted
to meet with Jane Sun and her Ctrip colleagues today for what was a
fascinating exchange of ideas. Ctrip's investment in Scotland is a
great example of collaboration between Scotland and China in the
key areas of tourism and the economy - and with a direct flight
between Edinburgh and Beijing about to begin, this will only go
from strength to strength."
Jane Sun, CEO of Ctrip said, “The relationship between China and
Scotland has always been a positive one. As more Chinese visit
Scotland, mutual respect and understanding is reinforced. Ctrip
remains by the side of our travelers to ensure that they have a
positive experience and we look forward to more collaboration with
Scotland across all fields.”
