China’s Tourism Recovery Versus Other Major Tourist Sources in Asia: Delayed, Not Slower
- China’s outbound tourism recovery started much later than others in the region
- In particular, Taiwan & Korea began ramping outbound travel earlier (in Q222)
- As destinations, Thailand & Vietnam recovered early, but now lag HK’s growth
CIMC Enric (3899 HK): One More Spin-Off Progressing
- CIMC Enric Holdings (3899 HK) has applied for its liquid food segment, under CLTP, to be quoted on the NEEQ. Subsequently, it plans to be listed on the BSE.
- The move will not only provide an additional funding channel for this business but also enhance the valuations of CIMC Enric. BSE’s IPOs have historically performed very well.
- Upon successful listing, the attributable market cap of its two listed subsidiaries will be greater than its current market cap. This means its clean energy business is free.
