Invitation: How to reach the Chinese market better
HSMAI Region Europe invites you to a seminar on How to reach the Chinese market better at Hilton Berlin at the Executive Lounge on Thursday 8 March
At 8:30 AM – 11:00 AM
or
5:30 PM – 8:00 PM
With 1.38 billion people and the economy growing at 6.7% (source: World Bank); and with only 6% of the population had passports in 2016 (source: Forbes) surely it is a huge market where the European hospitality industry can target. Still it is a misconception that China is an easy market.
At HSMAI, we are putting together a special presentation on this interesting topic, especially 2018 is the official China-EU Tourism Year.
We will cover:
– The potential of the market
– The latest trend (the image of everyone coming in tour groups, following someone holding a yellow flag, and visiting 7 countries in 5 days is no longer valid)
– Overcoming the barrier of the Great Firewall of China
– Utilising Chinese social media (especially Weibo and WeChat) to connect with Chinese audience
– Establishing a bullet-proof website inside China
– Get «visible» in China
By Cho Wong and Deiv Salutskij from Compass Edge Europe

He was heavily involved in building a team of account managers and sales managers to support the GDS and distribution/RFP services for hotels. Cho was also Sales Director at Pegasus Solutions and GM of a Sino British hotel booking service – SHTJ in Beijing. Cho was trained as a civil engineer but because of his interests in hospitality, he successfully completed the Revenue Management certification by HSMAI.

HSMAI has reserved the Boardroom at the Executive Lounge at the Hilton Berlin. We have limited space there for just 10 guests at each seminar so we will offer the seminar twice.

- If you like to join us in the evening instead you can join the second option at 5:30 PM to 8 PM. Wine or beer and some light food is included.
It is free to attend if you are working directly in the hotel and travel industry. We will also do this seminar in Amsterdam on 20 March and in Oslo on 24 May. Other cities coming up soon.
