China’s largest online travel platform Trip.com to focus on domestic bookings as Covid-19 disrupts outbound tours, chairman says


Trip.com Group, China’s largest online travel platform by value, will remain focused on the domestic market as Covid-19 travel restrictions continue to ground virtually all Chinese outbound tours, the co-founder and chairman of the firm has announced.

James Liang told the South China Morning Post that the platform’s domestic travel booking volume this year was 70 to 80 per cent of pre-Covid levels, but cross-border travel services, which accounted for 20 per cent of total business before the pandemic, remain close to zero.
