Organized by Youduoduo Travel Network and co-hosted by Duoduo Hostel, the first Youduoduo Travel Inn Network Marketing Seminar will officially commence at 2:00 PM on June 25, 2013, at Gulangyu Villa Hotel in Xiamen. At that time, Miao Wan’er, CEO of Youduoduo Travel Network, along with seasoned tourism market experts and online marketing professionals, will gather under the theme of “Sharing Smart Strategies with Innkeepers, Creating Success Together with Youduoduo.” The seminar will discuss topics such as accurately understanding traveler needs, enhancing the competitive advantages of inns, and selecting appropriate online promotion channels. It will also include in-depth analysis and answers to potential issues currently facing the travel inn market, aiming to establish strategic policies for win-win cooperation.
From group tours to independent travel, from chain hotels to specialty inns, traveler demands are changing, and so must market directions. As the largest Chinese independent travel service platform to date, Youduoduo Travel Network, together with Duoduo Hostel, has been committed for seven years to providing and sharing the latest travel information, the most unique independent travel routes, the most detailed travel guides, and the most cost-effective youth hostel and inn options for nearly 3 million Youduoduo members. In recent years, with the growing proportion of independent travel in the tourism industry, the number of inns and hostels has also seen rapid development. As of May 2013, Duoduo Hostel has surpassed 30,000 registered merchants, receiving an average of 5,000 orders per day.
As a leading destination with a trendy appeal, Xiamen maintains a high and increasingly unshakable status among free independent travel (FIT) cities. According to statistics, during the 2013 Spring Festival and “May Day” holidays, Xiamen received 1.4589 million and 724,600 domestic and international tourists respectively, representing year-on-year increases of 18.39% and 20.5%. In terms of accommodation, the overall average actual occupancy rate of hotels increased by 1 percentage point, while that of inns and hostels rose by 11.2 percentage points—10 percentage points higher than hotels—indicating that the personalized needs of travelers have driven rapid growth in both the quantity and uniqueness of local inns. Faced with the mushrooming number of new inns and the dazzling array of online marketing methods, how can one correctly enhance their competitive advantage? How can one choose the right online promotion channels? Youduoduo offers solutions, and the time to act is now.
