About Ctrip
Ctrip is the dominant travel booking service in mainland China, selling flights, hotels, trains and package tours. It gave its name to the parent group until the 2019 rebrand, and it still operates as the Chinese-language brand. The company was founded by four Shanghai entrepreneurs during the first dot-com boom and survived the crash by buying traditional travel agencies while its rivals collapsed.
