My view on the official entry of Sina into tourism search

2 months ago, Google asked me to do a guest interaction at a seminar in-house. In response to "How to look at the general search Google and travel search Qunar relationship", my answer is: "Yahoo bought farehttp://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/16429.html" >chase, MSN acquired Farecast, which shows that universal search and travel search are complementary. If Google, Baidu has a home, in China to enter a travel search, we qunar hands welcome ...

In short, Google, Baidu has been planning travel search.

5 months ago, when Sina decided to start on June 1 this year, no longer with the joy to renew the Travel Channel outsourcing contract, but Sina oneself do Travel Channel, I asked both sides of the future prospects, Sina think that their own operation of a tourist channel time to, hotels, air tickets, travel agencies, etc., has recognized the online advertising mode , plus Shaojin Ningshao, who is in charge of the Travel Channel, built the Sina Car channel, its successful experience can be copied to the tourism channel; Le Chin is optimistic about the "breakup" thing, because it still takes on some of the content of Sina's tourism channel, and its independent brand has been in operation for almost two years, There are close to 10,000 good faith members support the revenue system, the problem is not ...

In short, two no one mentioned travel search.

Two weeks ago, read the "Internet Weekly" 2008-year commercial web site rankings, dedicated to a classification called tourism search, hard to go to where, cool news, Le Chin, Green people, China, nine travel network are defined as tourism search, ranked a seating.

If the former situation, I can talk with the editor, if the latter case, qiping really should pay attention to ...

In short, this eclectics classification should not be called tourism search.

5 days ago, I suddenly found in Sina life and Sina Travel ticket, hotel entrance location, entered the page, completely into the air ticket search and hotel search, but the ticket only search for not more than four suppliers, and the hotel only search elong a supplier. Ticket to return search, then about equivalent to Qunar a year ago products, can only search, single search back, can not do the integration ...

In short, the portal Sina, quietly the first to enter the travel search!

Frankly speaking, Sina into tourism search, and in this field will be Qunar defined as the largest competitors, and Ctrip again to sue Qunar, these two things, the Chinese tourism search field, is really lucky!
