How will the battle for Chinese travelers unfold? And how will international cruise brands reshape their customer acquisition strategies?
At the 2026 TravelDaily Conference, Helen Huang, President of MSC Cruises China and Explora Journeys China, will share her insights in a session titled “The Battle for China’s Outbound Travelers: How Are Global Travel Brands Competing for Chinese Customers?”
With an in-depth understanding of the needs of different segments of Chinese travelers, Helen brings both a global brand perspective and strong local market insight into how international cruise brands can move beyond simply entering China to establishing a stronger competitive position in the market.
For international cruise brands and travel companies seeking to better understand the evolving needs of Chinese travelers, this is a session well worth attending in person. We warmly invite you to join the discussion and exchange ideas with industry peers.
