Wishing 7.5 million Chinese travelers a happy Chinese New Year from Peru

Our 2021 Chinese New Year video campaign for PromPerú used the concept of “travel memories” to inspire travelers and remind them that Peru is waiting for them. Results include +7.5 million video playbacks across WeChat Channels, WeChat, Douyin, and Weibo, and +50,000 engagements.

Training Chinese Travel Agents with a WeChat Mini-Program

For the third edition of Visit Sweden's China Travel Academy (CTA) training program for travel agents, Dragon Trail updated the course's technological platform from the earlier H5 style to a WeChat mini-program. The mini-program combines a CTA course with five modules about different parts of Sweden, and a CTA Live webinar platform. It is available for Dragon Trail's database of more than 60,000 registered Chinese travel agents.

Creating a Conference on Global and Chinese Tourism

To share with the global tourism industry how Beijing is tackling many of the most challenging issues facing international tourism, and looking ahead to a new era of global travel, the Beijing Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau held a two-day event, the “Beijing Culture and Tourism Global Online Strategic Forum – Restart Travel, Together with Beijing.” This was the Beijing Municipal Culture and Tourism Bureau’s first-ever online event.

Dragon Trail produced the forum from start to finish, including inviting 30 industry leading speakers, organizing panel topics and moderating the discussions, translating and subtitling in five languages, filming, pre- and post-event publicity, and hosting the event on our CTA Live platform. The forum sessions have been viewed more than 26,000 times by viewers in around the world, with coverage in more than 360 media outlets.

Introducing China to a Fresh Drinks Brand

Premium British gin brand Whitley Neill wanted to expand its footprint in the Chinese market, especially reaching and educating young professionals and food & drink enthusiasts through online and offline engagement. Our campaign reached more than 4.6 million Chinese consumers, particularly in the target market of Shanghai, substantially increasing awareness of the new brand. To achieve these results, we worked with lifestyle media and KOL and KOC influencers to promote brand awareness and e-commerce sales across six social media platforms, created an interactive WeChat campaign, and organized an offline cocktail mixing masterclass at one of Asia’s 50 Best Bars.

Running a Virtual Road Show for a National Tourism Board

Philippines Department of Tourism (PDOT) partnered with Dragon Trail to deliver an online trade show to support local DMCs, hotels, resorts, airlines, travel agencies and other travel suppliers to develop business with Chinese buyers and agents. Over five days, suppliers completed more than 1,500 1-on-1 meetings via video chat, with more than 380 buyers recruited and managed by Dragon Trail and PDOT.

The event also brought significant exposure for PDOT and its partners to the Chinese travel trade through B2B media and direct marketing. The event was promoted on WeChat through official travel trade accounts and WeChat groups with more than 9,500+ trade industry partners. Email Direct Marketing reached our industry database of 53,000 registered travel trade professionals.

Holding the First Virtual Edition of a World-Leading MICE Exhibition

IT&CM China and CTW China offered an opportunity for destinations and sellers of MICE and business travel to come together to shape the industry’s “new normal” in August 2020. The online exhibition bridged the gap between international and Chinese MICE and business travel industry professionals, facilitating partnership and business development, knowledge sharing, and networking, with nearly 3,000 meetings over two days.

"The amount of support that the event received exceeded our expectations, especially in the meetings aspect. Our biggest takeaway was thus the importance of working with reliable tech partners who were ready to journey with us through the process to implement our vision virtually, and support our valued delegates to optimize their tech experience at the event."

Creating an Interactive WeChat H5 Campaign Series for an Airline

Dragon Trail designed two WeChat-based H5 lucky draw campaigns for Air France for Chinese New Year and Singles' Day, to create buzz and increase awareness and interaction with Chinese consumers. Both campaigns spurred fan growth for Air France's WeChat account, and received significant page views.

Running Virtual Fam Trips for the Travel Trade

As part of a virtual roadshow to prepare for the successful recovery of Chinese tourism to South Africa, South African Tourism's Beijing office held a series of virtual fam trips. With three days of rich presentations from Beijing and throughout South Africa, the fam trips transported hundreds of Chinese travel trade professionals to South African hotels, national parks and more, using Dragon Trail’s all-in-one virtual event platform on WeChat mini-program and web.

“The South Africa virtual roadshow in China, developed by Dragon Trail, succeeded in creating and strengthening meaningful business connections between our local and Chinese partners. The ‘virtual FAM’ webinar sessions, carried out alongside the 1:1 business meetings, added a dynamic content element to showcase the destination to Chinese partners in a fresh, engaging way.”

Keeping a B2B Event Creative and Engaging

We helped the Singapore Tourism Board to organize a China roadshow in four cities, attended by 437 Chinese travel agents, and resulting in 3,842 one-on-one meetings.

"Dragon Trail demonstrated professionalism and speed as they coordinated the complex logistics for the roadshow, including the tight timelines, the programming, and the business matching. They accommodated our needs, while working well with the hundreds of tourism professionals who attended the event. Overall, the event was smoothly organized and we thank Dragon Trail for their unwavering support!"
