Dear  
,

Our managing director, Roy Graff, will attend ILTM Asia in Shanghai from 1st to 4th June. He will represent ChinaContact's sister company,  China Edge, at the stand F109 and will meet with luxury travel buyers from Greater China. 

If you would like to meet with Roy personally during the fair, contact us to arrange an appointment. 


 

ILTM Asia is by far the most professionally organized B2B trade show in China at the moment, with a clear focus on luxury travel.

 

It is an invitation only global event where the suppliers of the world's best luxury travel experiences get to meet the buyers representing Asia Pacific's fast growing and sought after market of luxury travellers.

A huge Chinese company, Tiens Group, is treating more than half of its 12,000 employees to a four-day holiday in France and has booked up 140 hotels in the capital Paris as part of the package, a French foreign ministry spokeswoman said on Thursday.

 

According to Le Parisien newspaper, the trip by the 6,400-strong group includes a mass visit to the Louvre museum, and they are expected to spend ?13m euros (US$15m) in total.

 

The spokeswoman said the company chairman Li Jinyuan met foreign minister Laurent Fabius on Wednesday and "the group will be in Nice tomorrow and the day after".

E lectronic visas (e-visa) for Chinese tourists, a controversial issue so far, was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on the second day of his visit there.

He said so while addressing students and faculty at Tsinghua University in Beijing on Friday.

Only a few hours before the announcement, Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar had said, "No decision has been taken yet", when asked about it at a press conference.

The total number of Chinese tourists to India in 2013 was below 200,000.
 
 
After Expedia's decision to sell its equity stake in eLong, it is expected that the operations of eLong will solely focus on the online hotel booking segment.


 

The plan may be to replicate the model of Priceline Group's Booking.com, the established and powerful online hotel intermediary.


 

Just days after the eLong departure for Expedia, Ctrip took an additional $250 million from its US-based cousin (following the $500 million it took last summer).
