Emerging destinations for 2025 included Shanghai, Nagoya, Bali, Porto and Macao, reflecting recovery in major Chinese cities and diversification to regional Japan, Southeast Asia and Europe. Founded in 2012 as a guided-tour marketplace, MyRealTrip has grown into a one-stop platform covering flights, lodging, car rentals and activities, with 10 million cumulative users and 5 million monthly active users.
