China competitive landscape中国的竞争性蓝图 • China Players – Ctrip.com & Elong.com中国市场的参与者:携程和易龙 • These players currently dominate the domestic market 携程和易龙目前在国内市场上占有首要地位 • They rely on mostly offline, manual processes for transactions and confirmations 他们交易和确认主要依靠非网络、人工的处理 • Credit cards, visas, Internet-access and Chinese purchasing habits remain an impediment to outbound. As these things change, outbound is likely to gather momentum. 信用卡、Visa卡、互联网接入以及中国人的购买习惯依然是中国人走向国外的障碍。如果这些障碍得以改变,中国人出游可能会突飞猛进的发展。
China competitive landscape中国的竞争性蓝图 • Asiatravel.com (Singapore) Asiatravel.com (新加坡) • AsiaTravel invested in ground handling and low cost airlines in attempt to diversify away from online channel. They have a good network of local hotel contracts with pay at hotel commission model. They’ve had weak growth since IPO due to lack of technical and marketing expertise. They’ve been forced to reconsider plan after success of Wotif and Zuji in Singapore. AsiaTravel投资于地面接待和低成本航空公司,以使网络渠道多样化。他们拥有良好的合作网络,通过佣金的支付形式和当地旅店签订合同。由于缺乏技术和市场方面的专业知识,自从上市后,他们的成长很缓慢。在新加坡Wotif和 Zuji成功后,他们不得不重新考虑他们的计划。 • 2006 Market Value – 52.3M$, 10.7M$ in gross margins, about 2M monthly unique visitors. Growth Rate: 30%2006年市值-5230万美元,毛利率为1070万美元,每月约200万用户,增长率为30%。
China competitive landscape中国的竞争性蓝图 • Regional Players such as Asiarooms.com and Makemytrip.com区域性的参与者,例如 Asiarooms.com和Makemytrip.com • Many of these players purchase on-request inventory through tour operators, and a few local contracts at best. They cannot confirm in real-time and rely on manual workflow. They have strengths in areas such as paid search marketing, foreign language listings, affiliate marketing or key partnerships许多参与者通过旅游运营商和一些地区合同购买按照请求的库存。他们不能实时确认,要依赖于手工流程。他们的强项在于付费搜索营销,外国语言列表,从属营销和主要合作伙伴。
