DESCRIPTION

Chinese outbound tourism is growing at an alarming rate, with a corresponding spend figure of $120 million USD in 2013, ranking number one in the world for spend by market. With this in mind, it is now vital that UK travel brands have an up to date marketing strategy for the inbound Chinese tourist. This presentation outlines how Chinese consumers plan their trips overseas and explores how Baidu's Travel product provides a powerful platform for Chinese travel enthusiasts to search, obtain and share travel related content pre, during and post-travel.TRANSCRIPT

Defining Trends

Source: China Digital Review, Aug 2014
Independent: 63% of China’s outbound now plan travel independently (up 10% from a year ago)
Sophisticated: no longer after the cheapest rooms, to reserve cash for handbag shopping, the discerning inbound now seeks out quality accommodation, and loyalty programs offering discounts
Experiential: Gen 1 shopping and Stonehenge, Gen 2 want meaningful experience and are receptive to being marketed to in Mandarin, with authenticity and passion
Online: All the time! Savvy marketers will provide content and next step options at various stages of the travel cycle: from wish list to post-trip.
80% research online to make travel plans, 53% (and climbing rapidly) book flights and hotels online, 91% use Social media during and post trip

Influencing Channels
Sharing experiences through social media is popular, especially among the younger Chinese. More Chinese are writing about their travel experiences through personal blogs as well as social media, either during the trip or after the trip.
Online sources are rated as the most useful source as travellers can obtain very detailed and comprehensive review and guidance from other experienced travellers.
Chinese predominantly turn to maps that they picked up at the destination for information. Other popular sources of information consulted are tour guides and online sources via either their mobile phones or other electronic devices

Search Network
Baidu’s search results look very similar to Google’s.
The results at the top / centre of the page are “exact matches” to the keyword that the Baidu user has typed in.
Results below the red box are organic search results.
The red box on the right shows “broad matches” to the keywords that the Baidu users typed in.
A brand’s position on the page is influenced by their CPC (the highest bidder for the keyword appears at the top of the page) and the website quality score.
The quality score refers to how relevant Baidu feels each keyword is for your client’s website. If a keyword appears many times in a website and meta data, it will have a higher quality score.
If you’re the highest bidder but have a low quality score for a given keyword, you won’t be given the top paid search slot.
Just like on other search platforms, Baidu don’t publish the exact algorithm that gets a site the top advertising slot. We do know however that it’s a combination of quality score and maximum keyword bid.

China Search International
Overview
We are Baidu’s International Partner, not an agency. That means our business model does not rely on charging management fees.
In fact – the only charge you or your clients will ever see from us is a 2.5% processing fee to cover our banking and foreign exchange fees. In essence we are paid by Baidu to sell Baidu.
With offices in Singapore, San Francisco, Sydney and London we’ve guided hundred of clients through the complex Baidu processes.
We’ve all worked previously at major brands / agencies in the UK, USA and Australia so we understand your requirements and the importance of managing your client’s expectations.
The result is that we’re well placed to help your clients launch on Baidu in the most cost effective and hassle free way.
