About CTMC

China-focused tourism destination development and operations consultancy

CTMC is a China-focused tourism destination development and operations consultancy. Our core team brings more than 20 years of hands-on experience, and we provide end-to-end support across the tourism value chain—from early-stage strategy and positioning to construction coordination, business format introduction, and scenic-area operations.

Our history

Our roots go back to 1999, when our founders led the restoration and development of Wuzhen after a fire and flood damaged many historic houses. That work shaped the “Wuzhen model,” which balances authenticity in restoration, unified and standardized operations, upgraded infrastructure, and cultural revitalization.
