Customers

The filings also indicate a sales-agent model, so some revenue may come through distributors and sub-agents rather than only direct end customers.

Strategy
Management is trying to broaden the business beyond its core customized tour activity by adding more affordable travel packages and expanding product offerings. It also wants to build a more stable customer base through marketing, employee training, online/offline promotion, and cross-border partnerships. The longer-term plan includes strategic acquisitions, brand building, and expansion into arts exposition services.
Reduces dependence on a narrow customized-tour niche and broadens the addressable market.
The company needs a larger, more stable customer base to support recurring sales and reduce volatility.
Cross-border cooperation and acquisitions can add distribution, content, and product capabilities faster than organic growth alone.
Adds a new cultural-services revenue stream and leverages the company’s cultural positioning.
Geography
The company is incorporated in Nevada, but its operating subsidiary is headquartered in Beijing, China and the business is primarily conducted in China. Management says the majority of assets and operations are located in China, which makes the company highly exposed to Chinese consumer demand, regulation, and macroeconomic conditions. The U.S. listing structure adds cross-border compliance and financing considerations, while the operating footprint remains China-centric.
Risks
The business is highly exposed to weak consumer spending in China, where discretionary travel and customized cultural products can be deferred quickly. It also faces execution risk because growth depends on a small operating base, continued access to supplier relationships, and the founder/CEO’s network and financing support. As a China-based operating business with a U.S. listing, it also faces regulatory, cybersecurity, and cross-border compliance risks.
