Jenny Fu will lead Beijing office as sales director
UK-based B2B travel wholesaler JacTravel has entered into the China market with the launch of an office in Beijing, adding to its established base in Hong Kong.
The expansion follows a successful drive to secure new clients in China, which has resulted in contracts with leading travel players including Ctrip, Qunar, Tuniu, U-tour and Caissa Travel in the B2C segment and Dida Haoqiao and Marco Polo in the B2B segment.
These companies now connect directly to JacTravel’s accommodation inventory, with real-time access to pricing and availability in more than 12,000 directly-contracted hotels worldwide, international chain hotels and an additional aggregated portfolio of over 130,000 properties.
The new Beijing office will be led by sales director Jenny Fu, who is supported by sales manager Fei Ren and client technical support analyst Justin Zhang.
JacTravel has since built its portfolio to 250 directly contracted properties in China, of which 74 are in Beijing and 60 are in Shanghai, plus a further 650 indirectly contracted properties.
According JacTravel’s CEO, Terry Williamson, the Beijing office has set targets to double the size of business in 2017 and expand its Chinese portfolio further.
