Tuniu International Launches a Travel-Financial Product

Shenzhen, May 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Recently, Tuniu International integrated the businesses of its subsidiaries Tuniu Travel and Tuniu Venture Capital to launch the “Smart Wealth” product. This offering allows investors to secure high returns on their investments while also gaining access to travel products, meeting users’ dual needs for investment and travel.

Travel has become a universal aspiration that transcends age and gender — it broadens horizons and relieves the stress brought by daily life. The philosophy of “spend more when away from home” has become a lifestyle attitude embraced by many young people today. However, most people still place significant emphasis on cost when planning a trip. Tuniu International’s “Smart Wealth” product provides an ideal solution for those who wish to travel but hesitate due to financial concerns.

Tuniu International’s consumer finance platform, “Tuniu Venture P2P178,” has been operational for over a year and a half, earning praise from investment enthusiasts for its security and stable returns. Originally starting as a flight ticket sales platform, Tuniu International has in recent years expanded from the business travel market into the broader tourism sector. By developing innovative business models and products, it has established a distinctive market position. The “Smart Wealth” product was officially launched on the Tuniu Venture platform, attracting widespread attention with its novel model that combines partial returns with travel rewards. The first batch of travel products offered on the platform include trips to Hong Kong and Macau, domestic tours, outbound travel, and cruises, with destinations such as Hong Kong, Macau, Yunnan, Xiamen, Nha Trang, Thailand, Sri Lanka, and Japan — catering to a wide range of preferences and budgets. Users can invest according to specified amounts, and upon successful investment, they will be rewarded with one travel opportunity corresponding to their chosen project, along with monthly investment returns. The principal is returned upon maturity. For example, the lowest-threshold option — a one-day Hong Kong sightseeing tour — requires only a ¥3,000 investment for a 12-month term. In return, users receive a free travel voucher worth ¥228 and an annual return of 5%. Even excluding the value of the travel itself, the return is higher than that of regular bank fixed deposits. This presents a highly attractive option for customers with immediate travel needs.
