Leisure-focused Chinese online travel company Tuniu said its net revenues declined more than 38% to RMB 73.4 million (USD 11.5 million) in the fourth quarter of 2021, primarily due to the negative impact brought by the outbreak and spread of COVID-19.

Q4 Revenues from packaged tours last year were RMB 42.8 million (USD 6.7 million), 48.6% less than from the corresponding period in 2020. Full-year revenues from packaged tours were RMB 305.3 million (USD 47.9 million) in 2021, slightly up by 1.0% from 2020, thanks to the growth in revenues from self-operated products.
