In the future, the demand side and performance side of offline consumption formats such as wine, tourism and catering are expected to achieve high elastic recovery. We suggest focusing on four main lines of recovery logic:
\u3000\u30001). Recommend Zhejiang Ssaw Boutique Hotels Co.Ltd(301073) , Shanghai Jin Jiang International Hotels Co.Ltd(600754) , Btg Hotels (Group) Co.Ltd(600258) high-quality targets of hotels at the bottom of the cycle / with stable long-term growth logic, and pay attention to Huazhu group;
\u3000\u30002). Benefiting from the increased penetration of leisure tourism and peripheral tourism, China’s leisure scenic spots and theme parks, such as the eternal scene area under Jiangsu Tianmu Lake Tourism Co.Ltd(603136) , Songcheng Performance Development Co.Ltd(300144) and Atlantis under Fosun tourism, may usher in a structural development period in the future. In addition, due to the increased popularity of ice and snow tourism brought by the Winter Olympic Games, Relevant snow and Ice Tourism targets in Northeast China may benefit in the future. Recommend Songcheng Performance Development Co.Ltd(300144) , Jiangsu Tianmu Lake Tourism Co.Ltd(603136) for high-quality scenic spots, and pay attention to China Cyts Tours Holding Co.Ltd(600138) with complete tourism industry chain business and Fosun tourism culture through Wuxi Online Offline Communication Information Technology Co.Ltd(300959) tourism business;
\u3000\u30003). It is suggested to pay attention to Haidilao, Xiabu and Xiabu, the leading catering enterprises that are expected to be repaired in the same store after the epidemic, and jiumaojiu, a new brand & a new business type that is hatching;
\u3000\u30004). The China Tourism Group Duty Free Corporation Limited(601888) , Beijing Career International Co.Ltd(300662) with prominent leading barriers are recommended for the tax-free sector benefiting from consumption return and consumption upgrading and the human services sector with obvious anti cyclical attributes.
