In 2016, Ctrip made investments in various global entities in order to expand the products and services to be enjoyed by its outbound travelers. In October, the company made strategic investments in three tour operators based in the US, namely, Universal Vision, a bus tour operator and travel agency in New York, Ctour, a Los Angeles-based wholesaler and China group-tour operator, and Tours for Fun, a Los Angeles-headquartered online travel agency. The four companies will work together in receiving customers, in supply and distribution of inventories, and in helping each other with their expertise.
In November, Ctrip acquired one of the largest global metasearch companies, UK-based Skyscanner for $1.74 billion. Ctrip also has a majority stake in Travelfusion, a U.K. based travel distribution system that operates from London and Shanghai. The Skyscanner and Travelfusion teams will be working on increasing synergy and Ctrip’s global reach in the airline booking market might significantly increase due to this synergy.
