Growing Sportcation Travel Trend: Trip.com Group Reports 40% Increase in Active Travel Booking GMV

SINGAPORE, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Active travel or 'sportcations' are becoming the next big travel trend, with Trip.com Group seeing a strong double-digit increase in booking GMV. From cycling through mountain passes to joining diving camps and wellness retreats, active travel is becoming a defining part of how people experience the world.


A growing passion for active travel

This shift is gathering pace across the full travel journey, with searches for active sports experiences growing by over 30% year on year, with markets witnessing substantial increases: 80% in Singapore, 65% in Malaysia, and 50% in the United Kingdom, while France, Italy, Germany, and Spain all recorded triple-digit growth.


Total travel booking GMV has increased by almost 40%, with markets such as South Korea (+150%), Singapore (+104%), and Thailand (+200%) seeing bookings more than double over the past year. The same is seen for European travellers. The United Kingdom saw bookings grow by over 100%, and Germany by over 600%, highlighting that travellers are increasingly planning holidays around experiences that get them moving.

From adrenaline to adventure, travellers are following their passions

Active travel is taking many forms, reflecting the wide range of interests shaping today's holidays. Globally, diving ranks as the most-booked sporting experience, followed by activities such as ziplining, paragliding, skydiving and cycling.


Across individual markets, preferences vary, giving destinations their own unique sporting identities. Adventure activities prove especially popular across Asia. Diving leads bookings in South Korea, Malaysia, Germany, Spain, Italy and France. At the same time, skydiving ranks first in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Thailand, while Japanese travellers show the strongest preference for cycling.

Destinations are driving signature experiences

As travellers increasingly build holidays around the activities they love, certain places are emerging as go-to destinations for particular passions. The data shows that five destinations in particular stand out across multiple types of active travel, with Thailand, China, Australia, New Zealand and Malaysia appearing among the leading destinations across cycling, climbing, swimming, water sports and adventure experiences.


Thailand leads the way, appearing across all five categories and ranking as the leading destination for diving, while also featuring among the top destinations for cycling, water sports and adventure activities. This breadth of experiences makes it a particularly strong destination for travellers looking to combine different activities within one trip.

Australia stands out as another versatile destination, attracting travellers for cycling, rock climbing, surfing and kayaking, as well as adventure activities such as paragliding and skydiving. Its presence across multiple categories reflects the growing appeal of destinations where travellers can combine diverse active experiences within the same holiday.

From travelling together to inspiring others

While the passion for active experiences is shared globally, the way people travel differs across regions. In Europe, the average travel party is 1-2 people, suggesting many travellers are embarking on solo adventures or trips with a partner. Across the Asia-Pacific region, the average group size increases to 2-3, highlighting the popularity of travelling with friends and family to share new experiences.


These experiences are also shaping how travellers engage online. Active travel-related posts on Trip.Moments have nearly doubled globally, growing by 99% year on year as more travellers document their adventures and inspire others to follow in their footsteps. Several markets have seen particularly strong growth in community sharing, including Spain (224.9%), the United Kingdom (122.2%), Italy (118.9%), China (96.2%) and France (86.9%), reflecting the growing popularity of active travel across both Asia and Europe.

The conversations are becoming more engaging, too. While the number of posts has nearly doubled, comments have grown twelvefold compared with the previous year, demonstrating that active travel is encouraging richer conversations rather than simply more content. From destination tips to training advice and first-hand recommendations, travellers are helping one another discover their next active escape, creating a cycle where inspiration leads to bookings and every journey inspires the next.

As travellers continue looking for more meaningful ways to explore the world, active travel is evolving from a niche interest into a mainstream travel trend. Whether it is mastering a new skill, training for a personal goal or simply enjoying the outdoors, active experiences are helping people build stronger connections with destinations and with each other.

CATL Announces Local Partnership, Showcases Full-Chain Storage at The Smarter E South America 2026

SÃO PAULO, Aug. 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- CATL is showcasing its full energy storage ecosystem at The Smarter E South America 2026 in São Paulo from August 25 to 27, demonstrating capabilities across the entire value chain, from cell R&D and energy management to project delivery and localized services. At the show, the company also announces a strategic partnership with Moura to jointly participate in Brazil's Capacity Reserve Auction for Energy Storage, reinforcing its commitment to the country's resilient and sustainable energy future.


A Storage Portfolio Engineered for Brazil's Energy Landscape

CATL is presenting a broad portfolio of large-scale storage solutions purpose-built to meet Brazil's evolving power market needs.

TENER S, CATL's next-generation energy storage solution, leads the lineup. Built to maximize long-term asset value, it delivers zero degradation in capacity and power over the first year of a 20-year design life. Its liquid cooling system cuts auxiliary power consumption by up to 20%, lowering operating costs. TENER S also increases areal energy density by 30% and reduces site footprint by 20%, lowering balance-of-system costs. For Brazil, where grid instability remains a persistent challenge, TENER S delivers the utility-scale capacity and long-term reliability the country needs for renewable integration. The system has already been selected for major global projects, including a 1.5 GWh project in Spain and a long-term service-backed deployment at the Supernode project in Australia.

For high-density utility and industrial/commercial applications, TENER H leverages 575 Ah cells to pack 9,008 kWh per container, boosting land utilization by 45% and cutting project costs where land is at a premium. It supports flexible 2-, 4-, and 8-hour configurations: the 2-hour option delivers fast response for grid stabilization, while the 4- and 8-hour versions achieve up to 96.0% round-trip efficiency to maximize long-duration returns.

CATL is also unveiling TENER Sodium in Brazil for the first time. Launched recently, this 30 MWh integrated sodium-ion system delivers a 20-year design life, 95% round-trip efficiency, stable operation from -20°C to +45°C, and IEC/UL/CE certifications. Beyond its advanced cells, the system features coordinated BMS, PCS, and thermal management optimized for sodium battery characteristics, enabling rapid deployment and site-level reliability.

TENER Sodium extends CATL's site-level engineering and full-lifecycle asset management capabilities into the sodium-ion domain—capabilities built through years of turnkey project deliveries worldwide and reinforced by the company's recently unveiled whole-station testing facility in Xiamen, which validates real-world grid-connected performance to ensure bankable results from day one. Together, these strengths underscore CATL's role as a leading comprehensive energy storage solution provider.

Rooted in Brazil, Partnering for the Long Run

"CATL's commitment to Brazil rests on three fundamental pillars: partnership, proven delivery, and localized service," said Ray See, Executive President of CATL's Americas Energy Storage Business Division. "While we provide world-class storage solutions, our broader mission is to build self-sustaining capabilities on the ground. By forging deep local alliances, executing with proven excellence, and equipping domestic talent with the expertise to take the lead, we establish a reliable support ecosystem that stands with our partners for the long run."

At the event, CATL announces a strategic partnership with Moura, a leading Brazilian battery manufacturer, for joint participation in Brazil's Capacity Reserve Auction for Energy Storage (LRCAP 2026 – National Storage) promoted by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. This collaboration combines CATL's advanced energy storage solutions with Moura's deep local expertise, with the support of a second strategic partner that holds the No. 1 market share in PCS/inverters in the country, aiming for localized production that complies with the auction's local content requirements.

The partnership builds on CATL's strong and growing foothold in Brazil, where the company already holds a 45% market share in energy storage. Its project portfolio spans utility transmission, agriculture, cold-chain logistics, and industrial facilities, including the landmark Registro project. As Brazil's first utility-scale battery energy storage system in the transmission sector, Registro has reliably supported a critical substation serving 15 cities and some 2 million residents since its commissioning in December 2022.

CATL's local commitment extends across the full lifecycle of its storage assets. Its South American service network includes five senior storage experts and more than 140 certified engineers, enabling a tiered response framework: one-hour remote support, two-day on-site dispatch, and five-day cross-regional expert escalation. Dedicated regional inventory, backed by four global core warehouses and over 50 front-end stocking points, guarantees core spare parts availability for up to 20 years. CATL also offers standardized training through its South American facility in Santiago, Chile, and operates regional recycling channels for compliant transport, dismantling, and material recovery at end of life.

Bringing Global Excellence and Recognized Bankability to Brazil


CATL's industry leadership has recently been underscored by three of the world's most influential energy sector evaluators. S&P Global Energy named CATL a Tier 1 supplier in both energy storage battery cells and systems for 2026, ranking it first globally by market share in each category. Wood Mackenzie awarded CATL an "A" grade and placed it among the top 3 in its inaugural Global BESS Integrator Comprehensive Ranking. BloombergNEF has included CATL on its Tier 1 Energy Storage List for 11 consecutive quarters since the ranking's inception in Q1 2024. Together, these endorsements validate CATL's comprehensive strengths in long-term reliability, stable delivery, and bankability across global markets.

This industry recognition is backed by strong financial and shipment performance. CATL's energy storage battery system revenue reached RMB 53.26 billion (approximately $7.9 billion) in the first half of 2026, up 87.54% year on year. According to SNE Research, the company shipped 125.0 GWh of ESS batteries in the period, capturing the world's largest market share.

Recent project successes further demonstrate CATL's full-lifecycle delivery capability. In May 2026, CATL and Solarpro brought online a 602 MWh project in Burgas, Bulgaria, now Eastern Europe's largest operational battery storage facility. In Australia, the Supernode project reached Stage 2 commercial operation in August 2026, while Stage 3 secured A$469 million in debt financing; CATL is supplying systems across all stages and providing long-term O&M support. In the United States, the 380 MW / 1,416 MWh Gemini solar-plus-storage project has been operational since July 2024 and completed US$760 million in refinancing in March 2026, a clear sign of investor confidence in CATL-equipped assets.

復星國際舉行2026年中期業績發佈會:打通「任督二脈」,在優勢產業加速發展

香港2026年8月29日 /美通社/ -- 8月28日上午,復星國際在香港舉行2026年中期業績發佈會。這也是復星時隔6年後,再次回到香港舉辦業績發佈會。復星國際董事長郭廣昌、復星國際聯席董事長汪群斌、復星國際聯席CEO陳啟宇、復星國際聯席CEO徐曉亮、復星國際CFO龔平及多位投資者、分析師、媒體現場出席。

8月27日晚,復星國際公佈2026年中期業績:報告期內,集團總收入達人民幣869.6億元,歸屬於母公司股東的利潤達人民幣17.2億元,同比增長160.3%;海外收入達人民幣491.6億元,佔總收入比重升至56.5%。

對於上半年業績,復星國際董事長郭廣昌表示,這是復星近幾年戰略調整的結果,「晴天修屋頂」如期兌現,未來復星將聚焦形成優勢的產業,在穩定增長的軌道上提速發展。

「復星這幾年尤其是去年,『晴天修屋頂』,『晴天修車頂』,把復星這輛『戰車』修得更好了,進入了一個快速、穩健發展的軌道。」郭廣昌說。

優勢保險和優勢產業的「任督二脈」已打通

今年上半年復星四大核心企業—復星醫藥、豫園股份、復星葡萄牙保險、復星旅遊板塊,合計收入佔集團總收入的73.5%,顯示復星的基本盤非常扎實。其中,醫藥和保險表現尤為亮眼。

郭廣昌表示,「優勢的保險和優勢的產業相結合,是復星三十多年一直想打通的『任督二脈』。我覺得現在我們已經打通了,打通之後會極大地提升復星的產業能力和未來的盈利能力,會源源不斷地給復星帶來發展動力。」

對於上半年的整體運營情況,復星國際聯席董事長汪群斌表示,復星在這個階段繼續堅持瘦身健體、聚焦發展。一方面,繼續提升復星國際評級,逐漸達到「投資級」。另一方面聚焦於保險產業和優勢產業,更好地堅持長期主義,更好地穿越和駕馭經濟週期。同時,要繼續堅持「客戶優先」,不斷提升五類客戶滿意度,持續推進復星特色的開放式、整合式創新,打造全球化的商業能力和運營體系,以中國能力嫁接全球市場。

打造開放式全球創新和運營生態

創新和全球化是復星的核心戰略,也是這次業績回暖的核心推動力。在創新方面,近十多年來復星圍繞醫藥等核心業務軌道,保持高強度科創投入,僅今年上半年科創投入便達到人民幣42億元,同比上升16.7%。

復星國際聯席CEO陳啟宇介紹,復星在醫療健康領域,主要圍繞中國、美國、全球新興市場三個維度的需求進行佈局,經過十多年努力,搭建了單抗、雙抗、多抗、ADC、融合蛋白、小分子、自體CAR-T、新型通用型CAR-T、核藥等技術平台,構建了涵蓋實體瘤、血液腫瘤、免疫炎症、神經退行性疾病、心血管、代謝等疾病領域的高價值研發管線。同時,也在持續打造開放式創新生態,與更多全球性公司進行全方位的合作。

陳啟宇認為,中國生物醫藥企業在創新研發上深耕近20年後,當下都面臨着一個必須要突破的全球化核心命題——全球運營能力,尤其是全球商業化能力。因此,復星除了推進研發創新之外,一項非常重要的戰略舉措是構建全價值鏈協同的全球化運營體系,針對不同市場體系進行系統化的商業佈局,強化全球商業化能力建設。

復星國際聯席CEO徐曉亮表示,在復星的高質量經營中,非常重要的是創新驅動,創新是復星核心增長的引擎,復星的創新戰略核心有四個維度:創新研發、創新產品、創新工藝和創新場景。總的來說,復星在創新上不是單點突破,而是貫穿於研發、產品、工藝、場景的系統性創新,以此構建高質量經營的新動力。

對於復星的全球化戰略,徐曉亮表示,復星眼中的全球化戰略有兩面,A面是怎麼通過全球研發、全球生產創造出更多好產品,通過全球資源形成的產業協同、全球聯動的產業佈局;而B面關鍵是全球運營和全球營銷,圍繞全球客戶需求佈局服務網絡,強化品牌觸達和市場開拓能力。

沿可持續增長的軌道加快發展

就投資者較為關注的財務狀況,復星國際CFO龔平在業績會上介紹,2026年上半年,集團整體經營收入保持穩定,結構持續優化;盈利能力顯著修復,已重回增長軌道;科創投入持續加碼,聚焦高質量發展。同時,集團持續推進資產組合優化,夯實資產質量,穩步進入估值修復期。在業務大踏步前進的同時,集團持續優化資產負債結構,推動債務規模穩步壓降,信用評級保持穩健。

在業績會上,郭廣昌表示:「復星國際這半年的業績,大家可能覺得還不錯,但這遠遠不是我們的目標,包括董事會提出的中期百億利潤也不是我們的根本目標。一個企業的成功,離不開它的願景、使命和價值觀;有好的願景、使命、價值觀的企業,才能行穩致遠。所以我們『修車頂』也好,『修屋頂』也好,最終目的還是實現復星的願景和使命。未來復星將聚焦優勢產業,沿着可持續增長的軌道『好馬加鞭』,不斷發展。」

These qualities enable the Group to provide guests with immersive vacation experiences characterised by active participation and emotional connection.
