Mr. Donald Dunde Yu, Tuniu’s founder, Chairman, and CEO stated that,

Tuniu’s commitment to offering high-quality products and services while maintaining a high level of customer satisfaction has continued to yield positive outcomes. Despite hiccups in the broader tourist industry’s recovery, the transaction volume of their self-operated local tour products increased by double digits year over year during the quarter. In the future, they will hope to enhance the client experience even more in order to stand out in China’s travel market. Tuniu’s operating expenses declined year over year for the third quarter in a row, demonstrating their rigorous approach. They’ll keep implementing their present cost-cutting efforts to boost operational efficiency even more.

Future Expectations

The Company intends to produce RMB53.4 million to RMB65.3 million in net revenues in the fourth quarter of 2021, a 45 percent to 55 percent decline year over year. Tuniu’s present and preliminary perspective of the industry and its activities is reflected in this projection, which is liable to change.
