February 27, 2018 – Chinese digital marketing agency Dragon Trail Interactive has partnered with travel technology company TravPRO Mobile to help travel brands easily expand their global travel trade training programs into China, through China’s leading mobile app and social media platform, WeChat.
As the Chinese outbound travel market expands and matures, there is an increase in independent travel, but travel agents still play an important role when it comes to booking and fulfillment. Therefore, a solid B2B outreach and enablement program, including training and certification, remains essential for accessing the Chinese travel market.
In 2016, Visit California partnered with TravPRO Mobile to launch STAR, a global B2B training and sales enablement program. To optimize the performance of the program in China and expand its reach into the Chinese travel trade community, Visit California and TravPRO Mobile decided to partner with Dragon Trail Interactive to launch STAR on China Travel Academy, the leading WeChat-based training and certification program in China.
China Travel Academy (CTA), developed by Dragon Trail Interactive, significantly improves the speed of access to the training content by Chinese travel trade professionals. It makes the content easily accessible on WeChat, which is almost 100% mobile based. And it leverages the social nature of WeChat to help spread the content throughout the Chinese travel trade community.
“Working together with TravPRO as a solutions partner has enabled Visit California to retain centralized content management of its global training program while offering a localized solution to maximize and facilitate its exposure for the travel trade in China. We look forward to helping more travel organizations and businesses distribute their global content to the Chinese market using the API connectivity we have developed with TravPRO,” said George Cao, CEO and co-founder of Dragon Trail Interactive.
The results have been impressive, with thousands of Chinese travel agents completing the training and in the pipeline, altogether generating over 220,000-page views of training content in the first few months.
“It’s tough to operate successfully within China as an outsider. The Visit California program is proof as to how quick success can come by partnering with the ultimate insider, Dragon Trail,” shared Jonathan Cooper, founder of TravPRO Mobile. “This collaboration and API development opens up a superhighway to the Chinese market for all of our clients and those struggling to streamline their global strategy and elevate their game in that region.”
