CEO, Mafengwo.com

Mr. Chen Gang, CEO and co-founder of the Mafengwo.com travel platform, is a guiding light in – and advocate for – the independent travel and culture lifestyle, as well as an expert in the field of Big Data applications. Mafengwo.com officially kicked off its commercial operations in 2010. A mere four years later, users now exceed 100 million, among which 80 million are mobile users. Mafengwo.com’s strategic decision to focus its activities as a planning and transaction platform for independent travel is the reason underlying this extraordinary growth in revenue. On the basis of his extensive experience of search engines, semantic analysis and Big Data mining, Chen Gang has developed and rolled out a series of unique selling propositions for the Mafengwo platform, incorporating UGC (user-generated content), tourism Big Data, and an independent travel e-commerce platform. Today, Mafengwo.com’s newly-restructured business model has made Chen Gang one of the leading figures in China’s on-line tourism industry.
