Research on the Cultural and Tourism Real Estate Market and Consumer Demand

Company overview

Zhenghuang Group was founded in 2003 and is headquartered in Sichuan. The company is dedicated to real estate development and is guided by its core value proposition of 'Welcoming talent from all fields of real estate'—the 'Zheng Culture'. Over the years, the group has expanded from Southwest China to major urban clusters including Chongqing and Chengdu, the Yangtze River Delta, and the Pearl River Delta, implementing over 50 projects across nearly 20 cities nationwide. This has significantly improved local living environments and urban development standards. In 2015, Zhenghuang Group further expanded its business scope by establishing the Zhenghuang Cultural and Tourism Group, which engages in investment and development of cultural and tourism projects, operation of scenic areas and project management, as well as industrialization and capitalization of projects. The group focuses on delivering high-quality, culturally rich and experientially valuable tourism products and services tailored to clients seeking premium lifestyle experiences.

Research background

As cultural and tourism demand continues to evolve, Guangdong Province—recognized as China's most dynamic economic region with abundant tourism resources and strong consumer potential—has emerged as a key target market for Zhenghuang's expansion. However, the competitive landscape in Guangdong's cultural and tourism sector is intense, with diverse and rapidly shifting consumer demands. This presents significant challenges for enterprises in defining their product positioning and market entry strategies. Therefore, a systematic market research effort is urgently needed to provide scientific insights and strategic guidance for future business planning.

Research scope

In January 2019, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by the Zhenghuang Cultural and Tourism Group to conduct a specialized study on the 'Current Development Status and Consumption Trends of Guangdong's Cultural and Tourism Industry'. The study employed a mixed-method approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative in-depth interviews with potential cultural and tourism consumers across different age groups and income levels in Guangdong Province. The research comprehensively analyzes the current state, competitive landscape, and future development trends of the local cultural and tourism industry, and provides detailed insights into target user profiles, consumption behaviors, preferred scenarios, and media exposure channels. It further explores key consumer factors such as expectations for tourism products, price sensitivity, and brand preferences, offering targeted strategic recommendations for regional market implementation.

Expected outcomes

This research will enable Zhenghuang Cultural and Tourism to fully understand the current state and future development opportunities in Guangdong's cultural and tourism market, gain deep insights into the behavioral preferences and latent needs of core consumer groups, and achieve precise positioning in product planning, brand communication, and operational strategies. As a result, the company will enhance its market entry efficiency and the scientific rigor of its business decisions, providing strong support for its successful market penetration and sustained development in Guangdong's cultural and tourism sector.
