Net revenues were RMB928.7 million (US$149.7 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, representing a year-over-year increase of 90.9% from the corresponding period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to the growth in revenues from both organized tours and self-guided tours.

The increase was primarily due to the rapid growth in demand for travel to certain international destinations, such as Europe, North America, South Korea and Japan, and for domestic tours. In the fourth quarter of 2014, the number of trips of organized tours (excluding local tours) increased by 139.9% to 192,505 up from 80,258 in the fourth quarter of 2013, and the number of trips of local tours increased by 62.8% to 250,046 from 153,605 in the fourth quarter of 2013.

  • Other revenues were RMB8.9 million (US$1.4 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, representing a year-over-year increase of 26.8% from the corresponding period in 2013. The increase was primarily due to a rise of service fees received from insurance companies and tourism boards and bureaus.

Cost of revenues was RMB867.1 million (US$139.8 million) in the fourth quarter of 2014, representing a year-over-year increase of 84.9% from the corresponding period in 2013.

Gross margin was 6.6% in the fourth quarter of 2014 compared to 3.6% in the fourth quarter of 2013. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to cost savings from economies of scale, and increasing direct-procurement, as well as from reduced pricing competition for the Maldives product lines.
