During 2010, the Group completed the acquisitions of the hotel reservation businesses of two PRC-based online travel agencies, Beijing Yuanfang Wangjing Information Consulting Co., Ltd.

The Group did not complete any acquisitions in 2011.

 

On December 31, 2012, the Group completed the acquisition of the hotel reservation and air ticketing businesses of a PRC-based travel agency, Beijing Holiday Sunshine Travel Co., Ltd.
