 Competition 
 The global travel industry is highly competitive. In many markets where we operate, we compete with other travel agencies, including local and foreign consolidators of hotel accommodation and airline tickets as well as traditional travel agencies. As the global travel market continues to evolve, we may be faced with increased competition from new travel agencies operating locally or internationally. As our operation becomes increasingly globalized, we also expect to face increasing competition with local service providers who may be more familiar with local conditions in the various jurisdictions where we operate. We may also face increasing competition from hotels and airlines as they increase their direct selling efforts or engage in alliances with other travel service providers, as well as content platforms and social networks entering into the travel industry. 
 We compete based on a number of factors, including, among other things, brand recognition, depth and breadth of travel offerings, price competitiveness, and user support and satisfaction. We believe that we are well-positioned to effectively compete on the basis of the factors listed above. However, some of our current or future competitors may have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger user and supplier bases, or stronger financial, technical or marketing resources than we do.
