ThomasCook是酷怡国际旅行社(上海)有限公司旗下品牌。On 6 March 2015 Thomas Cook and Fosun, a leading Chinese investment group with operations
globally, entered into strategic partnership to build international cooperation across a number of
business areas. A key initiative under the partnership with Fosun is the establishment of a joint
venture business in China to service the fast growing Chinese domestic and international tourism
market, combining Thomas Cook’s brand heritage, know-how and expertise in international travel with
Fosun’s in-depth local market knowledge and operational resources.
The newly formed joint venture company is based in Shanghai and will be operational in 2016, subject
to obtaining the relevant regulatory approvals and licenses.
China’s outbound travel market is already the largest in the world with a total expenditure of
US$129bn in 2013 and is expected to grow significantly over the coming years. At the same time, the
behaviours of Chinese customers are changing rapidly, increasing the demand for more exciting,
differentiated and unique holiday experiences. These market dynamics present an excellent
opportunity for our new joint venture business in partnership with Fosun.
