As traveler demographics shift, the industry craves more supply optimized for new demand. Many are expecting this shift to be the new growth point as China continues to improve its ability to accommodate the growth in inbound tourists by improving foreign language signs, maintenance of main attractions, fixing toilets, improving restaurant catering and tour selections. "Traditional operators haven't been able to keep up with the new demands," Dylan said. "Varitrip's technology connects and integrates with the distribution partners, operators and all possible resources to fulfill new growing demand."

Varitrip's products are designed to meet the new needs for travel distributors through the GDS platform and enables opportunities for partners (airlines, cruises, lodging) who are interested in upsells.

These products and upsells include unique and cultural experiences such as a picnic on the Great Wall, which was not easily accessible through other providers.
