Smart technology has seamlessly woven itself into the fabric of the ice-and-snow resort experience. The Changbaishan Wanda International Resort, a flagship property under Wanda Hotels and Resorts, has undertaken a comprehensive upgrade of its hotel room smart door locks and associated systems to fully support Alipay's innovative 'Tap & Stay Smart' service. Wanda and Alipay have achieved significant strides in their collaborative efforts, particularly in areas such as smart accommodation solutions, seamless member interoperability, and eco-conscious check-in processes. The 'Tap & Stay Smart' service not only elevates check-in efficiency and convenience but also effectively addresses the challenges posed by traditional room cards in skiing environments. Moreover, opting for eco-friendly check-ins can now accrue Ant Forest energy, further incentivizing sustainable practices. The member systems of both entities have undergone a profound integration, enabling Alipay members to seamlessly align their 'Wanda Club' membership status and reap exclusive privileges. In October 2025, Tongcheng Travel is set to finalize its strategic acquisition of Wanda Hotels and Resorts. Amidst the current peak season for ice-and-snow tourism, the Changbaishan Wanda International Resort anticipates a continued surge in visitor numbers.
