Fliggy, an online travel platform under Alibaba Group, has unveiled tech-themed tour packages for international visitors to China, capitalising on a 237% year-on-year increase in summer travel bookings. These packages offer unique experiences in China's technology sectors, including artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, and autonomous driving.

The surge in bookings is particularly notable from Malaysia, South Korea, and Canada, with Shanghai, Guangzhou, Chengdu, Beijing, and Xi’an emerging as top destinations. Fliggy's new itineraries include visits to technology hubs like Alibaba's headquarters, where travellers can explore AI advancements and interact with humanoid robots.

In addition to traditional cultural and natural sightseeing, these tours provide insights into cutting-edge technologies such as brain-computer interfaces and electric vehicles. Available on AliExpress, the tech tours have already seen a significant increase in international enquiries.

Fliggy's inbound travel business has experienced a compound annual growth rate exceeding 300% in gross merchandise value since 2023. The company has expanded its ecosystem to include various booking channels and regional e-wallets, such as Alipay HK and Gcash, facilitating easier travel arrangements for international visitors.
