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image of everyone coming in tour groups, following someone holding a yellow flag, and visiting 7 countries in 5 days is no longer valid)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
