Ctrip CEO Interested in U.S. Potential and Sees a Brexit Boom
Skift Take
Would the world's second-largest online travel agency in market cap, Ctrip, entertain the idea of entering the U.S. market to complement its sites in mainland China, Hong Kong and Singapore? The x's and o's are unclear but the idea isn't as far-fetched as it might seem given Chinese investment in the U.S. and the Ctrip CEO's statements about his interest in the U.S. market
The CEO of China's Ctrip, the second largest global online travel agency in terms of market cap, finds a potential entry into the U.S. market "interesting."
Speaking with CNBC, James Liang, the chairman and CEO of Ctrip, which today focuses mostly on the Chinese domestic market, said there is a lot going on in the U.S., the world's "most dynamic economy," that "will be very interesting to us."
“U.S. is very interesting," Liang said.
