During the visit we have completed the first round of competitor surveys for the below 8 hotels.

– Crowne Plaza Chengdu Wenjiang
– Hyatt Place & Hyatt House Chengdu Peeble Walk
– Holiday Inn Chengdu High-Tech Center

As well as this, we also learned from Chengdu market leaders, of each segment, during the appointment, providing us with some valuable insights and suggestions, which are crucial for us to clearly understand the local domestic culture to ensure we’re able to have a successful launch of our future initiatives.
