Ctrip's revenue in 2020 was 18.33 billion yuan ($2.8 billion), down 49 percent year-on-year and 41 percent compared with the same period in 2018, said The Paper.

The travel service provider lost 3.25 billion yuan last year, while net profits of the company was 7.01 billion yuan and 1.11 billion yuan in 2019 and 2018, respectively.

The company has invested 28 billion yuan in technology during the past three years, according to the prospectus. Market value of Ctrip totaled $23.33 billion as of close of US stocks on April 7.
