The development of aiyou. com

A few years later, the entrepreneurial team in Aiyou.com will definitely recall the late autumn of 20 10, when four people from different backgrounds came together with the same idea and formed a team we dubbed "wolves", and then there was the Aiyou.com we see today. In the memory of the late autumn of 20 10, we can't forget the sleepless night of the meeting, the fact that a group of people entered a small hotel in Shenzhen and began to discuss the project day and night, the fact that they were sitting in Starbucks in Shenzhen and thinking about the future, and even the rock band next to the Shenzhen subway station that made us cry.

What's the relationship between Aiyou.com and rock artists? Technically, it doesn't matter.

But like the king who loves to swim, he represents a state of pursuing freedom and flying his ideals. Let all founders work like marijuana every day. Everything stems from the worship of this spirit of freedom. Like our own children, Wang Aiyou grew up in the spirit of freedom.

It is not so much that we built the love travel network as that it created us. In the vast world of web2.0, there are stories about freedom, dreams and youthful love.

Maybe you don't make money today, but you will burn money tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow will definitely represent a new mode of tourism e-commerce in China. Perhaps in a brand-new tourism era, a market-oriented and customer-oriented tourism format will use the word "love to travel". Com "as Feng Shui Ling.

This project began in the autumn of 20 10, when various domestic group buying websites mushroomed. Like all group buying websites, Aiyou.com shoulders the responsibility of recommending the best products on the market to users. As we all know, the tourism market is an industrial chain with highly asymmetric information. For buyers (tourists), it takes a lot of energy to find a seller (travel agency) with high service level and real price, but it has little effect. Because this market is mixed, all kinds of businesses are mixed. This makes it difficult for buyers to find cost-effective sellers. This is also the disadvantage of traditional tourism. For sellers (travel agencies and major tourist attractions), due to incomplete terminal market information, it is often difficult to get good returns by spending a lot of publicity expenses. This also increases the operating cost from another level, and eventually this part of the cost will be passed on to consumers. This has also caused many misunderstandings between consumers and businesses. Consumers think that the tourism industry is a profiteering industry, "empty gloves and white wolves", and tourism practitioners will be wronged. In fact, it is not profiteering, but meager profit, because a large sum of money is spent on publicity costs, with little effect.

This gap between consumers and travel merchants is the initial motivation for the birth of "Aiyou. com". The founder of aiyou. Com saw this separation. So I'm thinking, is there any way to screen out the really excellent tourism products in the tourism market and put them in front of consumers? It not only helps excellent travel agencies find buyers, but also solves the long-term troubles of consumers.

So is aiyou. Com travel agency? Do not love you. From the early days of its establishment, com has determined the direction of the website: to become the most loyal tourist information platform for consumers. Aiyou's profit. Com helps excellent travel agencies to reduce publicity costs to get business rebates and give back to consumers.

Market segments that love to travel at present. Com are: high-quality new people (who know how to use web2.0 to search for tourism products they are interested in), and young people who also pursue freedom and regard travel as real spiritual food (these people will be born in universities and white-collar workers in China). And will become the mainstream crowd in the tourism market in the near future. This also reflects Aiyou's eight-character entrepreneurial slogan. Com: "Like-minded people travel together for love".

Aiyou's latest mission. Com is not to occupy the broadest tourism market, but to cultivate a group of people who have been neglected in China tourism market-college students. We will devote ourselves to guiding the tourism atmosphere of pursuing the spirit of freedom. Grow up with all "like-minded" people and advance together for love.

Aiyou. com will defend the soul of free travel to the death. And provide the richest spiritual food for like-minded people.
