Chairman of the Board Yang Renqiang, Vice Tourism President Ai Lina, Capital Investment Supervisor Tang Wei, Aviation Chairman Assistant Li Jingjun and Tourism Operation Manager Jin Xiao Participated in the meeting.

Mr. Yang Renqiang expressed gratitude to the delegation for the visit and guidance, and introduced the development history, current status, market positioning, business sections, core strategy and future layout of the Group. Aladdin focuses on environmental protection resources and consumer services with tourism service as the may orientation. The Group regards tourism as a super flow entrance, provides support for tourism through Dangdang App, combines tourism service with community economy, builds a tourism community, changes the low-frequency characteristics of tourism, and creates a high-frequency business model in which tourists leave but remain active in the community. He hopes Aladdin and CTA can work together to develop new business models in the field of combining tourism services with community economy.

President Dai Bin responded to Mr. Yang's related topics and believed that Aladdin's tourism community development model is in line with the trend of the times. Tourism is a highly competitive and market-based industry that values channels, platforms, resources and contents. From the perspective of investment, the basic business form of tourism is still based on channels, but the content creation is becoming more and more important, among which culture and technology are two important drivers. CTA is willing to work together with Aladdin to develop new business models by establishing the laboratory of tourism service community economy, so as to provide efficient services for tourists and create new values.

Finally, Director Yang Honghao of Industry Institute conducted further communication with the team of Aladdin on the future direction, mode, mechanism and contents of cooperation between the two sides, and they reached consensus on the joint construction of "Tourism Service + Community Economy Innovation Laboratory".
