1. Reasonable, Unexpected
Whether it is from social platforms or the travel industry, everyone is not surprised by the entry of Xiaohongshu, and even thinks that it is only time sooner or later. It can be said that it is reasonable and expected.
Moreover, judging from the attitude of wholly-owned shares, Xiaohongshu now wants to independently operate the cultural tourism business. At the same time, it is not difficult to see from the business scope that the focus of Xiaohongshu’s layout of cultural tourism is on the cultural tourism sector, and the hotel sector is only mentioned.
In the early years, most of the monetization methods of large Internet platforms were to take advantage of the trend of traffic, and then promote products or directly introduce merchants. However, in recent years, social platforms are no longer satisfied with making wedding dresses for others, but choose to run specific businesses in person. Douyin Kuaishou's e-commerce business is one of the manifestations.
Regarding entering the cultural tourism industry, in fact, Xiaohongshu has released sporadic signals early on.
