Insights

DirectBooking adds AI hotel JV and strategic investors, signaling a major strategic expansion.

DirectBooking Technology is pivoting beyond its traditional construction-transport base by partnering with DeepYou Digital to create an AI-native hotel booking platform. The joint venture aims to cover 100,000 hotels in three years, using AI for pricing, recommendations and end-to-end booking services.

The company is also bringing in high-profile investors such as 58.com’s Yao Jinbo, Amiba Capital’s Wang Donghui and Magcloud/DeepYou’s Li Daxue. The filing emphasizes that this round is framed as a strategic alliance in resources, intended to accelerate rollout of the hotel AI platform and broader digital initiatives around premium customized baijiu.

The actual financial size of the investment is not detailed, so the scale of impact cannot be quantified from this excerpt alone. However, the combination of an AI hotel platform target and experienced internet and venture leaders suggests a notable strategic shift that future filings and operating results will need to clarify.

Press Release

 

DirectBooking Technology Co., Ltd. (ZDAI) and DeepYou Digital, Founded by Former JD.com Senior Vice President Li Daxue, Form Strategic Partnership to Build an AI-Native Hotel Booking Platform Targeting 100,000 Hotels in Three Years

 

Hong Kong, Feb 10, 2026 — DirectBooking Technology Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq:ZDAI) announced that it has signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement with DeepYou Digital Technology Co., Ltd. The two parties will fully leverage their respective strengths in technology, application scenarios and ecosystem resources, jointly invest to establish a joint venture company, and build a next-generation AI-native intelligent hotel booking platform. Through technological innovation, the partners aim to reshape the travel and hospitality ecosystem and inject new momentum into the industry’s high-quality development.

 

DeepYou was founded by Mr. Li Daxue, founder of Magcloud Digital, Lifetime Honorary Technical Advisor of JD.com, and specially appointed digital economy expert of the Ministry of Commerce. The company has long focused on industrial digitalization and artificial intelligence innovation, and has already cooperated with nearly 1,000 scenic spots across China to build a smart cultural tourism service network that connects core attractions, local culture and tourism operators, and visitors across entire destinations, making it a benchmark enterprise in the AI + culture-and-tourism field. Notably, DeepYou has entered into a deep strategic collaboration with Huawei. Relying on the HarmonyOS ecosystem, Huawei’s Xiaoyi voice interaction and device-side computing capabilities, DeepYou deeply integrates cultural tourism services with mobile operating systems to provide hundreds of millions of users with a more intelligent, convenient and one-stop travel experience.

 

DirectBooking Technology, for its part, has spent years deeply cultivating hotel digital supply chains, direct-connect technologies and private-domain operations. The company has developed a mature hotel direct-connect system, dynamic revenue management and channel optimization solutions. It is committed to empowering hotel operations through technology, helping hotels reduce channel costs, lower their reliance on high-commission platforms, and significantly enhance their own direct-sales capabilities and operational efficiency.

 

 

 

 

Under the strategic plan, the two parties will use AI technologies as the core engine, integrating capabilities such as natural language interaction, intelligent recommendation, demand forecasting, dynamic pricing, real-time room-status connectivity and end-to-end automated services to jointly create an all-new lodging experience featuring “one-sentence booking, personalized matching, and one-stop fulfillment.” The platform will connect the entire chain from AI-powered travel guidance and itinerary planning to hotel booking and on-property services, forming an integrated “travel + stay” closed loop and driving an experience shift from “passive search” to “proactive service.”

 

The partners have set a three-year strategic goal: the AI hotel booking platform aims to cover 100,000 hotels. Through technological and business model innovation, the platform seeks to break the traditional OTA industry’s channel monopolies and information silos, promote fair market competition, reshape value distribution across the sector, and build a more open and inclusive industry ecosystem.

 

The platform will rebuild the value chain from both the hotel and consumer sides. For hotels, the system can significantly reduce customer acquisition and channel costs, increase the share of direct sales, and, through AI-enabled smart pricing, precision marketing and data-driven operations, drive simultaneous growth in both revenue and brand reputation. For users, the platform will offer an efficient, convenient, transparent and personalized one-stop booking experience, eliminating cumbersome price comparisons and algorithmic discrimination, and delivering truly intelligent matching and frictionless booking.

 

Looking ahead, DirectBooking Technology and DeepYou will take the joint venture as the core platform, continue to increase investment in technology R&D and market expansion, and deepen the integrated application of AI across lodging reservations, smart cultural tourism and all-region tourism scenarios. Together, they aim to build a highly efficient, transparent, secure and shared new travel-and-hospitality ecosystem, and to drive the industry’s comprehensive transformation toward digitalization, intelligence and greater fairness.
