Ctrip reports having 200 million users per month.

TUI Destination Experiences managing director David Schelp said the partnership with Ctrip “reflects the opportunities in the online business in the tours and activities market, [especially] in markets like China and South East Asia”.

He said: “We are convinced we will significantly increase our online market share in this business in the next few years.”

TUI Destination Experiences is one of TUI group’s three strategic pillars alongside its hotels and resorts business and cruises.
