Outside of St Petersburg and Moscow, transport infrastructure is underdeveloped and there is only limited awareness of the attractions on offer.

OTA国际对标：标品化经营与并购提升市占率。互联网企业高度依赖流量与资本生存，并购是实现市占率提升的重要路径。原Priceline(现更名为Booking)2005年通过收购booking.com实现了对欧洲市场的占领，Expedia2015年收购Orbitz后EBITDA增加2.64亿美元。境外休闲游发展程度高于国内，消费者对机酒的需求量远大于成熟的旅游产品，因此境外OTA以标品化经营为主，机酒业务收入超过90%。境内OTA仍处于抢占市场的发展初期，为实现流量充分变现，需要通过旅游产品满足消费者长尾需求。未来随行业集中度和自由行渗透率提升，我们预计国内OTA将逐渐走向分化，龙头将向标品化输出方向发展，其余中小OTA精耕细分市场。

最优赛道：火锅高速增长，市场集中度仍很低。①中餐2017年总营收达31,920亿元，市场份额达80.5%。预计未来五年CAGR8.9%。②2017年前五大火锅餐厅经营者仅占市场份额5.5%，海底捞（6862.HK）和呷哺呷哺（0520.HK）多年规模排在前十，海底捞占比达2.2%，竞争优势明显。优秀的管理机制，不同的竞争赛道。①海底捞定位中高档，极致的服务已经成为现象级消费体验，门店分散。②呷哺呷哺是休闲小火锅赛道挖掘者，欲借凑凑（定位比海底捞更高）实现弯道超车。门店大部分在北方城市。③两家公司创始人即大股东，股权结构明晰，董事会以创始团队为主。机制好，管理优秀。
