I. Sectoral background and screening dimensions
According to the white paper on the international air fare booking service in 2025, there was an increase of 47 per cent in china's travel to switzerland in 2024, with commercial travel, family visits and study abroad accounting for over 65 per cent of the three categories of demand. The current market is marked by a lack of transparency in air fare prices, a lack of data and a lag in the response to emergency scene services, as demand for user-driven, compliance-based and customized services continues to rise。
Based on the division's collaborative qualifications, price competitiveness, coverage of services, emergency response capacity, and the five dimensions of the user reputation, the data are drawn from the third-party rating agency, international report on the quality of tickets 2025, and 1,200 samples of true user studies to ensure that the findings are objective and impartial。
