Geely’s ＂Xunzi＂ was listed on the backdoor, and the first share of China Automotive Intelligence was born in the United States.

(Text/Pan Yuchen Editor/Zhou Yuanfang) Geely Group has its fourth listed company, and this time it is the first share of China automobile intelligent enterprises in the United States-Yikatong.

On December 21st, Yikatong Technology, a travel technology company, and COVA Acquisition Corp, a public special purpose acquisition company, jointly announced that the previously announced merger transaction had been successfully completed on December 20th. The merged company will retain the company name of "Yikatong Technology", and its shares and warrants will be traded on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange on December 21st, with the stock codes of "ECX" and "ECXWW" respectively, making it the first China automotive intelligence start-up to land in the US stock market.

Through this transaction, Yikatong Technology is expected to raise 368 million US dollars (about 2.57 billion yuan), including COVA’s cash trust of 300 million US dollars. The funds raised will be used to accelerate technology development and launch new products, support strategic acquisitions and investments, and build a global business growth path and achieve the goal of becoming profitable in 2024.

Earlier in May this year, Yikatong Technology had reached a merger agreement with COVA. The transaction was approved at the extraordinary general meeting of COVA shareholders held on December 14th.

According to the prospectus disclosed by Yikatong Technology, the company’s revenue in the first three quarters of this year was 2.03 billion yuan and its gross profit was 563 million yuan. However, after deducting R&D expenses, administrative expenses and interest expenses, the net loss amounted to 801 million yuan. External financing has become a key factor for the company’s sustainable operation.

According to the data of enterprise investigation, before the merger and listing of Yikatong Technology, it had gone through seven rounds of financing. In addition to Geely Holding Group, the investors also included Changjiang Industrial Fund, Baidu, Funeng Technology and Suzhou Xiangcheng Venture Capital. Among them, the announced A-round financing amounted to RMB 1.3 billion, and the A+ round and B-round financing amounted to US$ 200 million and US$ 50 million respectively.

Yikatong Technology is not the first Geely Group investment company that intends to land in US stocks. Just in early December, Geely Automobile’s high-end electric brand Krypton submitted a draft registration statement for possible initial public offering to the SEC. According to Reuters and other media reports, the IPO is expected to raise more than $1 billion.

At present, there are four listed companies under the Geely Group. In addition to Geely Automobile, which landed in Hong Kong stocks earlier, Polar Star and Volvo have also landed in the US and Sweden markets this year.

The "first son" of Geely family

As a company specializing in automotive intelligence, Yikatong Technology, established in 2017, is a pioneer among its peers, and has been imbued with a strong "auspicious color" since its birth.

The two co-founders of Yikatong Technology are Li Shufu, Chairman of Geely Holding Group, and Shen Ziyu, former Vice President of Geely Research Institute. When a merger agreement was reached with COVA in May this year, Li Ni, the daughter of Li Shufu, also appeared in the list of new directors of the company.

Like his elder brother Li Xingxing, Li Ni has been expanding his participation in the cause of Geely in recent years. As early as 2016, Li Ni bought and sold shares of listed companies many times during the listing and transfer of *ST Qianjiang’s equity. Later, Geely Holding Group spent 1 billion yuan to purchase *ST Qianjiang’s equity in June of that year.

Just in August this year, Xingshengzhou Technology purchased 171 million shares of Chengxing Industrial Group, the controlling shareholder of ST Chengxing. According to ST Chengxing’s announcement, Xingshengzhou Technology is a limited partnership jointly established by Yaoning Technology and Oriental Assets. Li Xingxing and Li Ni hold 95% and 5% shares of Ningbo Chunhua Qiushi Technology, the largest shareholder of Yaoning Technology, respectively.

The insiders believe that the reason why Li Shufu’s family is willing to hold a company with operational difficulties is the phosphorus chemical industry that ST Chengxing is engaged in: the phosphate produced by the latter is the core raw material for automobile power batteries.

Similarly, Yikatong Technology, as a company born in line with the trend of automobile intelligence, can be called Geely’s "pro-son".

Since its establishment, Yikatong Technology has mainly provided intelligent and networked services for Geely, Lectra, Proton and other "Geely" automobile brands, including digital cockpit, active safety electronic products, unmanned sensors and controllers, and the operation services of the vehicle networking cloud platform and big data platform. For example, the GKUI car-machine interconnection system widely used in Geely models comes from Yikatong Technology.

Prior to this, emerging business modules such as intelligent cockpit and vehicle-machine interaction have been regarded as shortcomings by many Geely users.

Even as a high-end electric brand, its car system has been criticized by many car owners since the delivery of the first batch of models. Although on the hardware level, Geely temporarily calmed the storm by investing more than 300 million yuan to replace the car chip with higher performance; However, in the software, a common shortcoming of traditional automobile manufacturers, Geely seems to have a lot to check and fill.

And this task is also naturally delivered to the hands of Yikatong Technology.

On-line training of migrant workers, multi-skilled masters become ＂hard core＂ network anchors

　　Reading tips

　　Cut your hair, make small noodles and drive a forklift … … During the epidemic, these "hard-core" skills training appeared in live classes and were welcomed by many migrant workers. Online skill teaching is flying over the wall of time and space, so that more workers can learn at any time and anywhere.

　　"In my impression, webcasting is a stage for handsome guys and beautiful women to show off their skills. I never thought that today, I actually watch live broadcasts to learn skills! " Yang Ping, from a remote mountain village in Hechuan District, Chongqing, has been working as a massage technician in the front line since she went to work in the city at the age of 16 and now she has become a partner in the health center. Watching the live broadcast of the master of skills at home has greatly increased her skills. "The skills I learned in two or three months are almost the sum of my years!" Yang Ping told the reporter of Workers Daily happily.

　　The reporter learned that during the epidemic, the Chongqing Municipal Bureau of Human Resources and Social Security issued a notice to do a good job in online training for vocational skills improvement, developed online classrooms and online training courses, and guided more than 100,000 urban and rural workers to participate in online training. Many skill masters became network anchors for online skills teaching. Up to now, 72,000 workers have received government subsidized and public welfare online training, and live training has made the skills of urban dreamers soar.

　　It takes ingenuity to bury one’s head in research and teach one’s art.

　　He Xianze believes that it is necessary to be ingenious to bury one’s head in art research and raise one’s head to teach art, from a mountain village hairdresser who travels from village to village to an expert enjoying special allowance from the State Council. After the outbreak, he not only advocated that hairdressers give full play to their skills and specialties, but also volunteered to cut hair for the frontline staff against the epidemic, and even became a "network anchor" to teach everyone to cut hair.

　　How to make students understand, listen and listen to their own technical methods? He Xianze has made painstaking efforts. In order to give a good lesson, he has to prepare lesson plans several days in advance, and sometimes it takes hours to repeatedly search for information and compare experiences for an example.

　　On March 6th, He Xianze and his apprentice Nie Feng conducted their first live broadcast in Aauto Quicker, and soon they rushed to the live broadcast hot list, attracting nearly 10 million people from all over the country to watch. He Xianze is used to being persuasive and speaking slowly from the simple to the deep. His lectures are also rich and interesting, which can not only attract students to smile, but also enlighten them.

　　Pan Lian, dressed in white clothes and trousers, wearing a hat and mask, holds red pepper in her left hand and a mobile phone in her right hand. For more than 200 apprentices in the first five classes of the camera, she tells the story of the seasoning "soul" of Chongqing noodles — — How to choose peppers? The winner of the National May 1st Labor Medal, who grew up from an apprentice to a chef, has done nearly 10 live training sessions in recent days, and 3,000 to 4,000 people watched each session online.

　　"To make a bowl of noodles with unique taste, spicy and refreshing, delicious and enjoyable, the core is to choose good peppers, then match different spices and control the oil temperature. The fried oil pepper is fragrant and spicy. " While explaining, Pan Lian pointed her mobile phone at peppers, peppers and noodles, moving left and right to get a "close-up".

　　Pan Lian said that for online training, teachers must prepare enough lessons, including familiarity with equipment. In addition, it is necessary to have a professional live broadcast platform, which can really provide one-stop teaching services of learning, practice, training and testing, so that live broadcast training will take another step.

　　In the collision between teaching and learning, they complement each other.

　　Wang Bing, a 38-year-old from Fuling Mountain Township, Chongqing, has only a junior high school diploma. With persistent research, he has changed from an ordinary forklift worker to a full-time equipment maintenance staff of Gree Electric (Chongqing) Co., Ltd., and has won more than 20 honors in the national forklift vocational skills competition, and won the honor of Chongqing Bayu craftsman and "Top Ten Migrant Workers". On April 18th, he gave a live training entitled "Theoretical Training on Safe Operation of Truck Drivers" to more than 50 students through corporate micro-signals.

　　Wang Bing admits that his theoretical level is limited, and it is a difficult problem to talk deeply about Toya. Sometimes, the interaction of the students in the group will bring him great inspiration. "Every time you give a class, you can bring yourself a lot of gains." Wang Bing said.

　　Xiao Gao, a student attending the lecture, told the reporter that he was a newly recruited migrant worker from the Three Gorges reservoir area. He had seen Wang Bing stack 10 cups into the shape of a champagne tower with a forklift, then open the bottle with a fork and pour champagne into the cups without spilling a drop. "Mr. Wang is modest and simple, often discusses with everyone, and is willing to accept the suggestions made by the students. We all like and admire him very much." Xiao Gao said.

　　On the afternoon of April 19th, in the Beauty Eye Health Center, the reporter saw several technicians broadcasting live on their mobile phones, watching the training class of "Moxibustion King Wang Ning" and interacting with teachers on WeChat group.

　　Manager Zu Chunqiu mentioned that once, a daughter took her mother to the store for physical therapy, and the whole back of the old man bulged out, which was very painful. Xiaozu was diagnosed and found that the old man’s back was like the "hard plate cold" that the live broadcast teacher often said. After the WeChat group repeatedly communicated with the teacher, the innovative moxibustion method was used. One moxibustion point in the breech position, one moxibustion point in the middle, and moxibustion for two times, only three times, the whole back of the old man was flat and did not hurt.

　　"Through live training, we quickly learned many new methods and skills, and constantly improved them in actual operation, and fed back the results to the teachers, achieving a benign interaction!" Zu Chunqiu said.

　　Everyone can learn, everywhere, all the time.

　　Based on the vigorous development of the whole food live broadcast, Chongqing has given birth to the first institution specialized in incubating, eating and broadcasting in China. Zhang Xiaojiang, the head of the organization, kept up with the rhythm of live broadcast. By selling Chongqing delicacies, he made millions of dollars, and trained more than 50 food anchors to become professional food and broadcast trainers.

　　Taobao data shows that in the live food channel, one out of every 10 live food rooms comes from Chongqing. Especially since February this year, Chongqing catering industry has concentrated on attacking online, from street snacks to local goods in the mountains, driving the growth rate of live broadcast, ranking first in the country.

　　"The birth of the new job of eating and broadcasting trainer in Chongqing reflects the upgrading of Chongqing’s Internet economy to ‘ Live +’ The 2.0 stage represented by. " Hongbing Shen, a professor at chongqing technology and business university University of Economics, analyzed.

　　In the interview, the reporter learned that online training in Chongqing is conducted by means of online live broadcast, video rebroadcasting and real-time Q&A. During the training process, functions such as course playback, teachers’ online Q&A and learning progress inquiry can be realized. At present, online skill teaching is flying over the campus wall, facing the whole society, and the "sharing" effect of internet education has been highlighted.

　　Zhang Dexiang, director of the Rural Labor Service Development and Management Office of Chongqing Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, said that the online vocational skills promotion training vigorously promoted in Chongqing aims to give full play to the important role of vocational skills training in stabilizing employment and promoting entrepreneurship. "Migrant workers can turn on their mobile phones anytime and anywhere to watch video learning online, and they can also log in to online colleges to form an environment where everyone can learn, learn everywhere and learn from time to time." Zhang Dexiang said.

How to recycle the batteries of new energy vehicles？ Expert： Car companies are the first responsible subject.

　　With the rapid growth of sales and ownership of new energy vehicles, a new problem has surfaced: what to do with the power batteries used in new energy vehicles after they are scrapped?

　　The interim measures for the management of the recycling of power batteries for new energy vehicles jointly formulated by seven departments, including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, will come into effect on August 1.

　　Hefei is the first pilot city of new energy vehicles in China. Now, with the use and popularization of these new energy vehicles, various problems have gradually emerged in automobile power batteries. How to deal with these aging or even abandoned batteries? The reporter recently interviewed people in the industry for this purpose.

　　expert

　　Car companies are the first responsible body for battery recycling.

　　How to deal with the scrapped battery? Qin Liwei, director of the electric vehicle platform of Jianghuai Automobile New Energy Automobile Research Institute, made the following interpretation from a professional perspective.

　　"This policy, which was implemented on August 1, is extremely timely and reasonable for the whole industry. The original intention of research and development of new energy vehicles is to protect the environment. Now strengthening the recycling of batteries is also due to deep environmental considerations." Qin Liwei said. On the one hand, although it takes a certain degree of buffer period for major recycling enterprises to apply for qualification and production capacity, battery manufacturers to destock, automobile manufacturers to establish recycling outlets and recycling system construction, Jianghuai Automobile, as the first batch of enterprises producing electric vehicles in China, has entered the retirement period, so it is necessary to prepare for the upcoming "scrapping tide". On the other hand, many rounds of discussions have been carried out before the introduction of this new regulation. At present, the responsibilities of all parties are clearly divided, the tasks are clear, and the implementation is reasonable. Jianghuai has always attached great importance to this work, and made it clear that "car companies are the first responsible subject for battery recycling".

　　There are three major destinations for scrapping new energy vehicle power batteries.

　　When asked about the whereabouts of the power batteries of new energy vehicles after scrapping, Qin Liwei said that the batteries currently used by Jianghuai Automobile are mainly divided into three major destinations according to categories: First, test batteries are returned to battery manufacturers and then delivered by relevant departments to battery recycling enterprises with professional qualifications; Second, some markets repair batteries, which are scrapped by maintenance service personnel to battery manufacturers for recycling; Third, the batteries used in JAC vehicles are signing agreements with professional battery recycling enterprises to open up ways to recycle batteries.

　　It is understood that there is no enterprise specializing in recycling new energy vehicle batteries in Hefei at present, and the qualification of recycling is of vital significance in the whole implementation. At present, there are only five enterprises with this qualification in China, and Hefei Guoxuan Hi-Tech Power Energy Co., Ltd. is applying for this qualification to carry out battery recycling business.

　　At present, there are two main ways to dispose of scrapped batteries in China. One is to send them to related recycling enterprises for physical disassembly and direct scrapping, and the other is to store energy and recycle batteries that are still valuable, such as the use of traffic lights at intersections. For the promotion of battery recycling in the future, Qin Liwei put forward the following suggestions: First, strengthen public opinion propaganda and actively guide consumers to scrap batteries in formal channels; The second is to implement the establishment of all relevant laws and regulations to restrict vehicles and improve the personal punishment mechanism; The third is to strengthen the connection between the registration of the vehicle management office and the owner’s change and traceability system.

　　owner

　　There is still a large demand for charging. I hope the new regulations will land as soon as possible.

　　For the problem of battery scrapping, the reporter visited several communities in Hefei on the spot and learned about the configuration of charging piles in several communities and the attitude of car owners to this new regulation.

　　In the Binhu Mingzhu Community, there are 16 slow-charging charging piles at the entrance, and four new energy vehicles are charging. A male car owner said, "Our electric car has just been purchased for one year, and it is not very convenient to charge. There are fewer charging piles nearby, and some fuel vehicles occupy the original charging position." When talking about the new regulations on power batteries recently introduced, the owner said: "If this policy is implemented, it will certainly be very supportive. After all, there will still be a special channel for recycling and disposal of aging batteries in the future."

　　In Yaohai Peace Garden, the community is equipped with 15 fast-charging charging piles. When the reporter went to the scene, only two new energy vehicles were parked and charged. A female car owner who is charging told reporters that because there are charging piles in the community, the usual charging needs can still be basically met. When asked if he was worried about what to do with the aging battery, the owner said, "Yes, I am worried. I have been driving this car for three or four years, and I still don’t know what to do when the battery is discarded. I hope there is a good way to solve this confusion."

　　government department

　　Hefei has a reward for recycling used power batteries.

　　The reporter learned that from the "Notice on Declaring Some Financial Subsidies for Hefei-level New Energy Vehicles in 2017" issued by the Municipal Science and Technology Bureau, it can be clearly seen that "the waste power battery recycling system will be established for vehicle and battery manufacturers and recycled, and 10 yuan will be awarded per kWh according to the battery capacity."

　　The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology and other seven ministries and commissions have jointly identified 17 regions including Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei and China Tower Co., Ltd. as pilot areas and enterprises for recycling power batteries of new energy vehicles, and our province has been successfully selected as a pilot.

　　According to the pilot scheme, our province will gradually realize the overall goal of "1234" by 2020 in accordance with the principle of government guidance and market dominance, that is, to form an industrial alliance of power battery recycling, build two systems of power battery recycling and traceability, build three platforms of power battery evaluation, trading and research and development, build four benchmark enterprises, including step-by-step utilization benchmark enterprises and comprehensive utilization benchmark enterprises, and build a number of demonstration projects. Establish a recycling network covering Anhui and surrounding provinces, form a perfect recycling system for power batteries, and form a comprehensive utilization capacity of a certain scale.

　　dealer

　　You can contact directly for trade-in.

　　The reporter contacted a number of dealers selling new energy vehicles in Hefei by telephone, and learned from them that at present, if the power batteries of new energy vehicles in consumers’ homes are aging, they can be dealt with by dealers. However, replacing the new energy battery can only change the battery core, not the whole group.

　　When asked what to do with the battery after recycling, a dealer revealed that at present, there is no national and regional system recycling network built by battery manufacturers or dealers in China. If the power battery of new energy vehicle is aging, the owner will directly exchange the used battery in the form of discount by directly contacting the dealer. After that, the dealers will carry out relevant centralized treatment of the recovered batteries, but at present, there is no local enterprise specializing in the treatment of new energy vehicle batteries in Hefei.

　　background information

　　As the first pilot city of new energy vehicles in China, Hefei ranks first in the proportion of new energy vehicles in the number of motor vehicles, and the total promotion and application of family pure electric cars ranks first in the country. By the end of July 2015, Hefei had promoted 16,000 new energy vehicles nationwide and 9,932 new energy vehicles within the city, accounting for about 5.6% of the national total.

　　A few days ago, the Interim Measures for the Management of Recycling Power Batteries of New Energy Vehicles jointly formulated by seven departments including the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology came into effect on August 1. The interim measures stipulate that: automobile production enterprises bear the main responsibility for recycling power batteries, and relevant enterprises perform corresponding responsibilities in all aspects of recycling power batteries to ensure the effective utilization and environmental protection disposal of power batteries.

　　advice from others

　　Current situation of battery recycling and disposal in other countries

　　It is understood that at present, developed countries have basically established a relatively complete recycling system for waste lead batteries, mainly in the following three ways: battery manufacturers are responsible for organizing recycling through their retail networks; Establish a specific waste battery recycling company by recycling enterprises; Compulsory alliance and professional recycling company approved by government regulations to collect batteries and recycle waste.

　　The waste batteries recovered by the above three ways are uniformly handed over to the regular recycling enterprises, and the government gives the recycling enterprises a certain subsidy for the disposal of waste batteries.

The tourism market is booming and the consumption vitality continues to be released.

In the Datang city that never sleeps in Xi ‘an, Shaanxi Province, the "secret box of the prosperous Tang Dynasty" is popular, attracting many tourists to experience interaction; With the "three-piece cookie oven with dipping sauce and soul barbecue", Zibo, Shandong Province has become a top tourist city; The "village supermarket" in Rongjiang, Guizhou Province spread all over the network, driving the local tourism market to "blowout"; Spending the least money and playing the most cards, "special forces tourism" has become popular among young people … One hot word after another, one online celebrity project after another, and one scene of fiery consumption, which reflects the vigorous driving force for the recovery and development of China’s tourism industry and the great vitality of tourism consumption.

Since the beginning of this year, all localities have regarded tourism as an important industry to expand domestic demand and boost consumption, introduced support policies, introduced measures to benefit the people, and carried out promotional activities to promote the tourism market to show a trend of "high opening, steady walking and accelerated recovery". According to the data recently released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, in the first half of 2023, the total number of domestic tourists and domestic tourism revenue (total tourism expenditure) were 2.384 billion yuan and 2.30 trillion yuan respectively, with year-on-year growth rates of 63.9% and 95.9% respectively.

Travel demand is released.

The tourism market has accelerated its recovery.

"Climbing Siguniang Mountain in Sichuan is really a good place to spend the summer." Not long ago, Zhu Mo, a girl from Nanjing, called friends and friends to complete the "punching in" for the third time this year. Previously, she and her friends explored the most beautiful highway in China, Sichuan-Tibet National Highway 318, and completed the "Special Forces Tour" of climbing Mount Tai at night to watch the sunrise. "We love outdoor travel so much that we can’t wait to plan our next trip after a journey."

There are not a few people who are enthusiastic about traveling like Zhu Mo. In the first half of this year, the demand for mass travel was released, and the domestic tourism market accelerated its recovery and continued to explode.

The tourism market in Xinjiang is extremely hot. Tianshan Tianchi, Sailimu Lake, Bayinbuluke and other scenic spots have ushered in the peak of reception. After the single-library highway was restored to traffic, the tourism orders in Xinjiang increased significantly. Data show that in the first half of this year, Xinjiang received a total of 102 million tourists, up 31.49% year-on-year, and achieved a tourism income of 92.276 billion yuan, up 73.64% year-on-year.

With "there is a life called Yunnan" more deeply rooted in people’s hearts, the popularity of Yunnan tourism market continues to rise. Zhao Guoliang, Party Secretary and Director of Yunnan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, said that in the first half of this year, the province received 539 million tourists, achieving a total tourism revenue of 639.432 billion yuan, up 40.0% and 48.8% respectively, which were 134.9% and 122.2% respectively in the same period of 2019.

The recovery of Hunan’s tourism market is equally rapid. In the first half of this year, 416 tourist areas monitored by the province received 182 million tourists, up 116.86% year-on-year. Operating income reached 21.455 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 135.01%. According to the relevant person in charge of the Hunan Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, in June this year, Hunan has issued an initiative to all cities, prefectures and 389,000 cultural travel volunteers in the province to encourage and guide the vast number of cultural travel volunteers to "go where the masses need it most" during the summer vacation and carry out cultural travel volunteer service activities such as "civilized tourism" and "tourists are satisfied in Hunan".

"The tourism consumption data in the first half of the year is a normal rebound after three years of epidemic, and it is expected that this year will exceed the level of 2019." Jin Wei, deputy director of the Cultural Finance Research Center of the National Finance and Development Laboratory and secretary-general of the 50-member Forum on Cultural Finance in China, believes that the evolution of scenic spot tourism to global tourism, sightseeing and holiday tourism to personalized tourism and short-term tourism to long-term residence will have a great impact on the tourism market in the post-epidemic era.

Ma Yiliang, chief statistician of china tourism academy (Data Center of Ministry of Culture and Tourism), analyzed that in the first half of this year, the overall performance of China’s tourism market met expectations, showing the characteristics of accelerated recovery and scattered hot spots. Since the May Day holiday, the tourism market has remained at a high level. In the middle and late June, the summer tourism markets in various places started one after another, and the number of tourists in most destinations continued to climb. "The recovery of the tourism market in the first quarter was relatively slow. In the second quarter, the market heat has spread to remote destinations on a large scale, and the uneven recovery of the regional tourism market has been alleviated."

Enterprise confidence is effectively boosted.

Business performance has grown steadily.

With the rapid recovery of the domestic tourism market, tourism enterprises actively innovate and develop product projects, effectively improve the service level, and achieve a "big turnaround" in business performance.

Up to now, more than 20 A-share listed tourism enterprises have disclosed their performance forecasts for the first half of the year, among which more than 10 enterprises expect to record positive net profits for the first half of the year, and many enterprises such as Lijiang, Qujiang Wenlv, Jiuhua Tourism and Guilin Tourism have recorded net profits for the first half of the year.

"In the first half of the year, the overall operating data of BTG Home Inns was unexpected, and the average occupancy rate recovered to about 80% in the same period of 2019; The average house price is 120% in 2019. At present, the overall situation in 2023 is optimistic, especially in the leisure tourism sector. " Sun Jian, general manager of BTG Home Inn Group, told reporters that the three-year epidemic impact has made the hotel industry face many challenges and given the hotel people time to think calmly. "Since the beginning of this year, what we have done is actually very simple, which can be summarized by the words’ specialization and novelty’. For example, in terms of’ specialization’, BTG Home Inns has rebuilt three major capabilities: one is professional product research and development capabilities, the other is professional customer marketing capabilities, and the third is professional hotel operation capabilities. "

"In the first half of 2023, Huangshan Scenic Area received 2,091,600 tourists entering the mountain, up 527.00% year-on-year. The main business achieved good growth, and the overall performance is expected to turn losses into profits." Yang Yi, director of Huangshan Tourism Promotion Center, said that behind such achievements, Huangshan Scenic Area actively grasped opportunities, scientifically formulated market policies, increased marketing efforts, and innovated and iterated diversified tourism products.

"In the first half of 2023, various businesses of Guilin International Travel Service grew in an all-round way, achieving an operating income of nearly 60 million yuan, seven times that of the same period last year, achieving explosive growth." Chen Xi, Chairman of Guilin International Travel Service, said, "The Zhou Bianyou products of Guilin International Travel Service sold out immediately after the opening of the group, and the business of official visits and overseas visits surged, and the consultation on outbound tourism business was hot; The ticket business in scenic spots has grown rapidly. Taking Impression of Sister Liu as an example, more than 150,000 tourists have been organized, with a year-on-year increase of over 200%. In addition, the conference and exhibition business has accelerated its recovery; The research business continues to be hot, and has received a total of 12,000 students. "

In 2020, the hit variety show "Where is Dad?" once made Yunnan Puzhe black fire. With the recovery and development of tourism, there is once again a tourist boom here. Especially since the summer, thousands of tourists have flocked to the 10,000-mu lotus pond in the scenic spot to enjoy the charm of natural scenery. According to statistics, in the first half of 2023, Puzhehei Scenic Area achieved a tourism income of 24.6623 million yuan, an increase of 82% over the same period in 2022.

According to the big business data released by the Ministry of Commerce on July 20th, in the first half of this year, online travel products, scenic spot tickets and online entertainment sales increased by 272.4% and 69.8% respectively, which was 156.6 and 50.6 percentage points faster than that in the first quarter.

Wang Degang, vice president of china tourism association, president of Shandong Tourism Industry Association and president of Shandong University Tourism Industry Research Institute, said that in the first half of this year, the national tourism industry has fully resumed normal development. At present, it is the peak season of summer tourism. Cultural and tourism departments all over the country have adopted policies and measures to actively expand the consumption of cultural tourism and stimulate economic growth, vigorously promote market players to develop new products, new formats and new services suitable for summer tourism, and stimulate the consumption potential of cultural tourism. Scenic spots, amusement parks and other tourist sites are crowded, the occupancy rate of hotels and homestays is close to saturation, and the consumption of catering, shopping and entertainment has increased at a high level, which fully shows the strong recovery of the tourism market and the recovery and prosperity of the tourism industry.

The overall industrial development is improving.

Recovery and revitalization of the future can be expected.

According to the data released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the contact service industry grew rapidly in the first half of this year, and the added value of accommodation and catering industry increased by 15.5% year-on-year. The demand for services such as exhibitions and tourism has increased, and related service industries have also maintained rapid growth.

The tourism market is hot and the business operation is improving, which also drives the industry confidence and the overall improvement of the industrial chain. The Report on Investment & Procurement Index of Cultural Tourism Industry in the First Half of 2023 jointly released by china tourism academy and China Amusement Park Association on July 11th shows that in the first half of 2023, the overall investment in cultural tourism industry picked up, and the confidence index of entrepreneurs in cultural tourism industry and investment field increased significantly.
