Consumption patterns, spending habits and profiles of travellers are constantly changing. While people are now spending more during their travels, overnight stays are becoming shorter in duration. To keep up with these changing patterns of travellers who are expecting more value for money, implementing new business models is a critical success factor for hotels and travel destinations.
The one-week ‘Mountain’, ‘Forest/Lake or Vineyard’ and/or ‘Island’ holiday package is one such model that has proven to be successful and effective. One- or two-week holiday packages offer guests a variety of overnight stay options in varied geographical, ecological and physical environments. These packages are often supported by diverse cultural, culinary, educational, and recreational, health and wellness facilities and activities.
In addition to the big picture that will be presented at China Hotel Investment Conference (CHIC 2011) in the keynote sessions ‘Chinese Consumer Trends’ and ‘Insights into the Chinese Travellers’, a further breakout session, ‘Expanding the Vacation Experience Opportunities’, will discuss the above model in detail.
The breakout session will feature Bruce MacDougall, Director, Atkins Shanghai as presenter, and Michel van der Hoeven, Senior Vice President Development, Minor International PCL (MINT) and Bruce MacDougall Director, Atkins Shanghai as panellists. A resort master planner’s view on how destination resort development hotels can position themselves as boutique, multi-site, multi-experience destinations with a strong focus on service, quality and privacy will also be presented during this session.
CHIC 2011 will also be featuring an exciting and informative series of sessions covering hoteliers’ insights and case studies in increasing market share.

According to figures from the Cross-Straits Tourism Exchange Association (CTEA), 2010 saw a record number of Taiwan tourists visiting mainland China. The figure recorded was at 5.14 million people, an increase of 14.6% from 2009, marking the first time the number of Taiwanese cross-strait tourists has exceeded five million in a single year. This has translated to tourism revenues of approximately US$5.74 billion from Taiwanese visitors for 2010. The record number has been attributed to a greater number of flight services and major events such as the World Expo in Shanghai and the Asian Games in Guangzhou. |
