This feature provides users with up-to-date information on the most exciting and current activities and events worldwide and in their local areas.

We are delighted to launch this series which will further enable our customers to plan and book their next perfect trip, depending on their requirements and preferences.”
The launch of these curated lists is part of the Group’s content marketing strategy to drive consumer awareness and provide them with the relevant information to secure the best deals.
During the pandemic, Trip.com Group expanded its range of content offerings, such as Trip Moments on Trip.com, livestreaming, and Star Hub – the Group’s enhanced marketing tool for suppliers to enhance their marketing efforts.
