Overcome Common Barriers for the Chinese Travel Market

You're well aware that the Chinese travel market is vast and filled with opportunity. You've known this for years. But what's holding you back from tapping into this massive market? Here are some common hurdles you might be facing:

1. Lack of knowledge about the Chinese travel market.

2. Uncertainty about how and where to start.

3. Challenges with Chinese marketing due to blocked
platforms like Google and Facebook.

4. Difficulty in finding B2B or B2C travel customers.

5. No prior experience dealing with Chinese customers.
