It is predicted that in 2010 there will be CNY1.4 trillion revenue and 2.3 billion visits; by 2015, there will be 3.5 billion visits, annual growth of tourism revenue will be 12%, and tourism will account for 4.5% of the country’s GDP.
Ctrip.com is said to develop another business for the new call center: outsourcing. Currently many enterprises in the service and direct marketing industries need call centers for their businesses. Ctrip.com hopes it can undertake call center outsourcing services from enterprises of various industries such as banking.
