Data from online travel platforms shows that during the Spring Festival holiday in 2026, the number of flight bookings to cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Chengdu, and Guangzhou has significantly increased, especially the number of travelers aged 60 and above, which has grown by 1.6 times compared to the same period in 2025

$Trip.com(TCOM.US) $TRIP.COM-S(09961.HK) Here's what happened: Trip.com is under investigation by China's State Administration for Market Regulation over potential monopoly practices. The company has stated that it will cooperate fully with regulators, comply with all requirements, and maintain normal business operations. In terms of market share, the Trip.com Group (including Qunar) holds close to 70% of the GMV in China’s online travel market, with its main platform alone accounting for 56%. Competitors such as Tongcheng, Meituan, Fliggy, and Douyin hold market shares of 15%, 13%, 8%, and 3%, respectively. It is important to note that while holding a dominant market position is not illegal, abusing such a position violates antitrust regulations. Industry-wide scrutiny is intensifying: tourism and homestay associations in regions like Yunnan and Huangshan have launched anti-monopoly initiatives, and authorities have summoned multiple online travel platforms—including Trip.com—for discussions. Market sentiment may remain cautious as the situation evolves. However, the most significant regulatory risks appear to have been largely factored into current valuations.
