Following CYTS, China's budget hotel market has now welcomed another new member with the Hong Kong based travel service provider Wing On Travel announcing plans to acquire a Sichuan budget hotel for HK$70 million.

Wing On Travel announced that its subsidiary International Travel Systems would indirectly take over 26.5% of Sichuan Fangyuan Siji Hotel by acquiring 52.5% of the shares of Enjiy Media USA with HK$70 million. Fangyuan Siji Hotel is an economy hotel that provides 53 rooms. The hotel was set up in the 1990's and was stopped for renovation in 1999.
