Ctrip Wendao

Ctrip Wendao is the travel-industry vertical model discussed in EP91 订房订票定江山，携程51亿为傲慢买单. The episode says Ctrip / Trip.com Group released it in July 2023 after accumulating long-running OTA transaction and travel-content data.

The source uses Wendao as a possible recovery asset rather than as proof that Ctrip’s trust problem is solved. If a travel model can reduce choice time and connect planning to booking, service, itinerary changes, and emergency support, it extends AI Travel Planning and Travel Super App Convenience; if pricing, cancellation, ranking, or merchant rules remain opaque, the same assistant surface could deepen Platform Data Regulation concerns.
