Broad incumbents

• Expedia Group: Global OTA group (Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo) offering multi-vertical travel booking. Shares the OTA business model with Qunar but operates globally and is not a direct domestic China competitor.
• Airbnb: Global alternative-accommodation marketplace overlapping with Qunar's accommodation and vacation-stay offerings. Operates at global scale with a differentiated supply base rather than competing head-on in Chinese flights.
• Booking Holdings (Booking.com): Global OTA conglomerate (Booking.com, Priceline, Agoda) providing flight, hotel, and activity booking. Comparable business model at global scale, though primarily competing with Qunar on outbound Chinese travel rather than domestic.

Direct peers

• Mafengwo: Chinese travel content and community platform that has expanded into OTA-style booking for tours, tickets, and accommodations. Targets the same Chinese leisure traveler as Qunar.
• Trip.com Group: The largest Chinese OTA (formerly Ctrip), operating flight, hotel, and packaged-travel booking across China and globally. Direct head-to-head competitor in the same Chinese consumer OTA category where Qunar operates.
• Meituan: Chinese super-app with a fast-growing in-app travel vertical (hotels, attractions, ticketing). Competes with Qunar by embedding travel booking into broader local-services consumption.
• Fliggy (Alibaba): Alibaba's travel platform offering flights, hotels, vacation packages, and tickets to Chinese consumers. Direct competitor leveraging Alibaba's broader e-commerce ecosystem.
• Tongcheng Travel Holdings: Major Chinese online travel agency focused on lower-tier-city domestic travel with strong mobile and OTA capabilities. Directly competes with Qunar in Chinese flight and hotel booking.

Emerging players

• Hopper: Travel app using predictive pricing for flights, hotels, and cars. Comparable to Qunar's flight/hotel metasearch and booking functionality with a stronger app-led, AI-driven approach.
• Klook: Asia-focused booking platform for tours, activities, attractions, and local experiences. Overlaps with Qunar's ticket-booking and vacation-search verticals, especially in APAC.
