We believe not only travelagencies but also attraction operators, hotels, restaurants and even airlines willgradually approach qyer.com in the future to launch ads for deepening theirimpressions on the market. They may pay commission for consumers redirected fromqyer.com as well.
Posting ads is usually charged per CPC (cost per click) or CPM (cost per impression) orqyer.com can make profits through offering additional service, for example, a hotelwants to spend more money putting on its pictures. And data shows that 8%-10% ofqyer.com's members will make orders on Booking.com after visiting the website whilethe proportion of users of Booking.com itself is only 2%-3%, demonstrating advantageof the channel in accurately distributing travel products.

Andconsidering Beijing Utour International Travel Service may sell its products leveragingqyer.com's client and destination resources, we made EPS forecast for the company atCNY 0.60 in 2016 and CNY 0.77 in 2017.
