Tencent Intelligent Tourism Project
Below you can find two digraphs about the Tencent intelligent tourism project that I am introducing to you. After previewed these diagraphs, I believe it will make this project more comprehensible when you read the long article below!
My company Hong Kong Tenlink Network Company Limited is now promoting a Tencent Intelligent tourism project and this project is about to bring Chinese outbound tourists to overseas countries!
Prior to explain you this tourism project, I will like to introduce you in detail about our company. Our company “Hong Kong Tenlink Network Company Limited” is the official “Tencent Partnership Company” for tourism (Qualification number 1000767604).
In China, Tencent is responsible for some of the biggest social media and messaging apps including QQ, WeChat, and Qzone. Tencent even has its own digital assistant, named Xiaowei, which can answer questions about the weather or traffic just like Alexa or Facebook’s M. Really, the number of Tencent apps and web services in China is seemingly endless, spanning things like the TenPay mobile payment system, the Weiyun cloud storage service. You can browse at their website https://www.tencent.com/en-us/articles/2201285.html.
If you browse at https://99firms.com/blog/wechat-statistics/, then you will see how many Wechat users and data traffic information. Just to let you notice that WeChat users are consuming 46TB of data every minute during the morning rush hour. With this all these information, it is no doubt that Tencent “One-Phone Tour” is actually provide most sophisticated big data technology!
Actually what is Tencent intelligent tourism (Tencent “One-Phone Tour”)?
Tencent intelligent tourism APP is widely used in China. And we name it as Tencent “One-Phone Tour” because the tourist can travel easily just with their mobile phone. If you want to know more about this, then you should browse at this https://apps.apple.com/cn/app/go-yunnan/id1484293598/ This is the Tencent “One-Phone Tour” for Yunnan province in China. And you might ask why Yunnan province needs this Tencent “One-Phone tour”?
First of all, please aware that Yunnan is a tourist hotspot in China, the population there is 50 millions people and there are over 10 million tourists visit there in a year. In order to impose city planning and security control, Yunnan government have approached Tencent to develop big database for them. Eventually the Tencent “One-Phone Tour” is established!
After 3 years Covid pandemic, many provinces in China are lock down. Right before the Chinese New Year 2023, China suspend the Covid lock down. Travelers are allowed to travel again. And Yunnan received a total of 45,146,100 tourists during the Spring Festival in 2023, and the number of tourists received by 16 cities in the province maintained a double-digit growth. In case they didn’t establish our Tencent intelligent tourism program in earlier date, then it is a mess if there are too many tourists go into their province just in peak time of a year!
When a tourist go to Yunnan, they can easily find a lot of Tencent “One-Phone Advertising” (see attached photo) at airports, mass transport stations and bus stops. By scanning the QR, then they are able to use the “One-Phone Tour” while travelling inside Yunnan province!
Recently Mr. Ma, CEO of Tencent announced in TV about how successful of this Tencent “One-Phone Tour” for Yunnan province!
In fact, this “One-Phone Tour” is not limited in China. There are many cities and countries already developed The Tencent “One-Phone Tour” and they are Helsinki in Finland, Stockholm in Sweden, Vancouver in Canada, Portugal, Ireland and New Zealand. These countries already developed this Tencent “One-Phone Tour” before the Covid quarantine 2019. And you can easily find the huge increase of China tourists to these cities or countries!
After three long years of Covid quarantine, almost all countries already reopened their borders now. At present, every countries are seeking out the fastest way to boost long-run growth after Covid-19! Many governments aware that tourism has potential to play a major role in global pandemic recovery!
And we will like to introduce our Tencent “One-Phone Tour” since it is the most powerful APP that can help their country to attract more Chinese tourists into your country!
World welcomes China's resumption of outbound tourism

What is the advantages for a city or country posses our Tencent intelligent tourism system (i.e., Tencent “One-Phone Tour”?
Before the government posses our Tencent “One Phone Tour”:
- Government only benefit from overseas tourists through two channels (i) tourist visa (ii) Taxation from those industries that benefit from the tourism in their country.
- Government has to spend a lot of money in promoting their tourism.
- All big data such as tourism information are in the hand of those enterprises such as hotel groups, airlines, travel agents and overseas social media sites etc.
Benefit once the government posses our Tencent “One Phone Tour”:
- All expenses of each tourist are going through this system. Government is able to obtain their tax before they pay to each individual entrepreneur. No limited to those big enterprises such as hotel groups, airlines, travel agents but also grocery shops, taxi drivers, public transports, restaurants and souvenir shops.
- Instead of payment advertising money to other media, government merely pay to this platform and their government got clearly the viewer data and valuable information.
- This is the opportunity for a government to possess big data of their country. Frankly speaking, it is very difficult for a country to get this sophisticated big data system for their country. See the problems about to encompass data date for their country .

Please understand that information management (IFMA) is the power of a country besides money and military power! It is ,in fact, a must for a city or country to posses the control of big database!
Estimation of tourist after installation of Tencent “One-Phone Tour” APP
If a country just calculates the quantity of Chinese tourist into their country right now, then you believe that all these Chinese tourists are going to use Tencent “One-Phone Tour” APP. So you can easily calculate how much the money will go into their government hand prior to the individual enterprises after taking the taxation for their country! And all the big data are holding in their hand. Regarding the additional tourists will be discussed once we start up the dialog officially!

National security issue:
Last but not least, the government can track each tourist while they are travelling within their country. Without such an sophisticated cloud computing management system, it is no way to implement this goal. As the matter of fact, this is the reason why there are many countries are eager to work with us right now!
About cloud data based management (PDF) system:
- Tencent WeChat big data is the most reliable application software:
As you know, China population is 1.35 billion. And almost everyone in China are using WeChat! People here already rely on all the applications for it makes the life more easier. Imagine that there are few millions of people are using face recognition, QR scanning and passwords for the digital payment a the same time. You will surprise how come there are no delay or any traffic congestion. Things are just going smoothly and you ignore how complicate the technologies from behind. Tencent is fine tunning their system with 1.35 billion users without any problems for many years!
- What is the biggest problem with big data?
Many people are working with big data but their system are not tested. One of the foremost pressing challenges of massive Data is storing these huge sets of knowledge properly. The quantity of knowledge being stored in data centers and databases of companies is increasing rapidly. As these data sets grow exponentially with time, it gets challenging to handle.
And you can understand that Tencent is running such system for a country with 1.35 billion population for many years. It is no doubt that it is the most reliable system that had ever made!
