In the document, we see attracting more inbound visitors and optimizing students' holiday arrangements directly related to travel industry, especially for optimizing holiday arrangement which includes exploring establishment of spring and autumn vacations for primary and secondary schools students with shorter winter and summer vacation, and this could decently enhance frequency of long-haul family travel if implemented. Also, we see travel demand likely being decent during the upcoming Golden Week, which will be a 8-day holiday, 1 more day than in 2024, likely benefiting long-haul and outbound travel more. China State Railway Group estimated railway passenger throughput could reach 219mn during the 12-day transportation period with daily average at 18.25mn vs. total of 177mn and daily average of 17.7mn during last year's 10-day transportation period. Maintain Buy on TCOM and Tongcheng.</doc> <doc id='2'>Details of the latest document – On 16 Sep, the Ministry of Commerce and other departments jointly issued the Several Policies on Expanding Service Consumption, which includes 5 areas and 19 detailed measures. Related to the travel industry, the document encourages attracting more international visitors by expanding visa-free policies and improving payment conveniences, exploring adding spring and autumn vacations for primary and secondary school students while shortening summer and winter vacations, adjusting the academic calendar without reducing total vacation days, extending operating hours of museums and scenic spots, promoting introducing int'l sports events and host local sports events, and providing consumption credit supports.</doc> <doc id='3'>Govt's estimates on railway passenger throughput during upcoming holiday – Per People's Daily on 16 Sep, China State Railway Group estimated railway passenger throughput could reach 219mn during the 12-day transportation period from 29 Sep to 10 Oct (ie, two days before the holiday, the 8-day holiday, and two days after the holiday) with average daily passenger throughput at 18.25mn, higher than the daily average of 17.74mn (or total 177mn) during last year's 10-day transportation period. That said, although daily average railway passenger throughput was estimated to increase 3%, we think a 24% yoy increase in total passenger throughput also matters since the longer holiday could make the daily average number dilute the real increase in the number of travelers.</doc> <doc id='4'>Preliminary booking data from OTA platforms – Qunar: Qunar has seen more diversified travel destination and earlier bookings this year given the longer holiday Brian GongAC +852-2501-2747 brian.gong@citi.com Alicia Yap, CFA +852-2501-2773 alicia.yap@citi.com See Appendix A-1 for Analyst Certification, Important Disclosures and Research Analyst Affiliations Citi Research is a division of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.

Qunar's data show this year's top destinations remain the same but also see increasing long-haul outbound travel destinations like Australia and Europe. With a longer holiday this year, we expect more long-haul travel for the domestic market during the Golden Week as well, which could benefit OTAs more.</doc> <doc id='7'>Tongcheng Travel Holdings (0780.HK; HK$22.98; 1; 16 Sep 25; 16:10) Valuation We believe PE is appropriate to value Tongcheng to capture strong growth momentum and is consistent with our valuation methodology for its peers. Our target price of HK$28 is based on 16x non-IFRS 2026E EPS, set at a discount to the historical average of 21x before the pandemic given a slower revs growth profile.</doc> <doc id='8'>Risks Key risks that may prevent the share price from reaching our target price include: 1) greater-than-expected competition from OTA peers or other traveling booking channels; 2) heavy reliance on hotel supply from Trip.com; 3) heavy reliance on Tencent's platforms; and 4) worsening macro.</doc> <doc id='9'>Trip.com Group Ltd (TCOM.O; US$74.12; 1; 15 Sep 25; 16:00) Valuation Our target price of US$85 for Trip.com is based on SOTP. We value the core business at ~US$78/sh based on a 2026E P/E of 20x, applying a 20% premium to the average P/E of other vertical leaders given TCOM's decent growth momentum with structural overseas expansion story. We apply the target multiple to TCOM's 2026E adj. earnings excluding the profits from equity investments. We value the major equity investments at ~US$7/sh based on the market caps of the listed names. We employ an SOTP approach to better factor in the value of the investments.</doc> <doc id='10'>Risks Downside risks that could prevent the shares from reaching our target price include: 1) a further softening of the China macro environment that affects travel demand; 2) travel demand taking longer than expected to recover; 3) spending and margins turning worse than expected; 4) an intensification of domestic competition; and 5) any significant new outbreaks of Covid-19 or other epidemics.</doc> <doc id='11'>If you are visually impaired and would like to speak to a Citi representative regarding the details of the graphics in this document, please call USA 1-888-500-5008 (TTY: 711), from outside the US +1-210-677-3788</doc> <doc id='12'>Appendix A-1 ANALYST CERTIFICATION The research analysts primarily responsible for the preparation and content of this research report are either (i) designated by "AC" in the author block or (ii) listed in bold alongside content which is attributable to that analyst.

Risk rating takes into account both price volatility and fundamental criteria. Stocks will either have no risk rating or a High risk rating assigned.</doc> <doc id='24'>Investment Ratings: Citi Research investment ratings are Buy, Neutral and Sell. Our ratings are a function of analyst expectations of expected total return ("ETR") and risk. ETR is the sum of the forecast price appreciation (or depreciation) plus the dividend yield for a stock within the next 12 months. The target price is based on a 12 month time horizon. The Investment rating definitions are: Buy (1) ETR of 15% or more or 25% or more for High risk stocks; and Sell (3) for negative ETR. Any covered stock not assigned a Buy or a Sell is a Neutral (2). For stocks rated Neutral (2), if an analyst believes that there are insufficient valuation drivers and/or investment catalysts to derive a positive or negative investment view, they may elect with the approval of Citi Research management not to assign a target price and, thus, not derive an ETR. Citi Research may suspend its rating and target price and assign "Rating Suspended" status for regulatory and/or internal policy reasons. Citi Research may also suspend its rating and target price and assign "Under Review" status for other exceptional circumstances (e.g. lack of information critical to the analyst's thesis, trading suspension) affecting the company and/or trading in the company's securities. In both such situations, the rating and target price will show as "—" and "-" respectively in the rating history price chart. Prior to 11 April 2022 Citi Research assigned "Under Review" status to both situations and prior to 11 Nov 2020 only in exceptional circumstances. As soon as practically possible, the analyst will publish a note re-establishing a rating and investment thesis. Investment ratings are determined by the ranges described above at the time of initiation of coverage, a change in investment and/or risk rating, or a change in target price (subject to limited management discretion). At times, the expected total returns may fall outside of these ranges because of market price movements and/or other short-term volatility or trading patterns. Such interim deviations will be permitted but will become subject to review by Research Management. Your decision to buy or sell a security should be based upon your personal investment objectives and should be made only after evaluating the stock's expected performance and risk.</doc> <doc id='25'>Catalyst Watch/Short Term Views ("STV") Ratings Disclosure: Catalyst Watch and STV Upside/Downside calls: Citi Research may also include a Catalyst Watch or STV Upside or Downside call to indicate the analyst expects the share price to rise (fall) in absolute terms over a specified period of 30 or 90 days in reaction to one or more specific near-term catalysts or events impacting the company or the market. A Catalyst Watch will be published when Analyst confidence is high that an impact to share price will occur; it will be a STV when confidence level is moderate. A Catalyst Watch or STV Upside/Downside call will automatically expire at the end of the specified 30/90 day period. The Catalyst Watch will also be automatically removed if share price performance (calculated at market close) exceeds 15% against the direction of the call (unless over-ridden by the analyst). The analyst may also remove a Catalyst Watch or STV call prior to the end of the specified period in a published research note. A Catalyst Watch/STV Upside or Downside call may be different from and does not affect a stock's fundamental equity rating, which reflects a longer-term total absolute return expectation. For purposes of FINRA ratings-distribution-disclosure rules, a Catalyst Watch/STV Upside call corresponds to a buy recommendation and a Catalyst Watch/STV Downside call corresponds to a sell recommendation. Any stock not assigned to a Catalyst Watch Upside, Catalyst Watch Downside, STV Upside, or STV Downside call is considered Catalyst Watch/STV No View.
