Enterprise scale has steadily increased operating income compound growth

According to cultural industry comments and classification statistics, the total operating income of the 40 shortlisted cultural tourism and related service companies listed in this article was approximately 5.73 trillion yuan in 2021, accounting for 11.9% of the total turnover of the top 500 service companies in China in 2022 (48.15 trillion yuan). However, in the context of the serious blow to cultural and tourism-related enterprises, such a development scale is also remarkable.
First, the Internet and cultural and tourism real estate industries are rising rapidly.
Ranking from the 40 cultural and tourism-related companies listed on the "Top 500 Service Enterprises in China" in 2022, there are 13 companies entering the top 100 Service Industry Industry (see the table below for details). Among them, there are 6 Internet and related service companies, from the original Sina and NetEase, and has developed into a cultural and tourism consumer Internet company represented by JD.com, Alibaba, Tencent, Meituan, etc.; 7 cultural and tourism real estate and related service companies, namely Greenland, Country Garden , Vanke, Poly, OCT and Gansu Public Aviation Tourism.

Second, the operating income differences between different industries are obvious.
Judging from the ranking and revenue data of cultural and tourism-related companies shortlisted in the top 300 service industry enterprises in China in 2022, compared with the top 100 companies, cultural and tourism and related service enterprises at this level have obvious fluctuations and differences in industry categories and operating income. Among them, there are only three companies with operating income of more than 200 yuan and operating income of more than 50 billion yuan, namely Greentown Real Estate Group (79.5 billion yuan), Huitongda Network Co., Ltd.

(33.1 billion yuan), Shenzhen Huaqiang Group (31.5 billion yuan), and Yuexing Group (31.3 billion yuan); the three companies with operating income of between 20 billion yuan are Zhongyuan Publishing Media (22.7 billion yuan), Ctrip (20 billion yuan), and Guangzhou Huaduo (17.9 billion yuan).At the level, the main business income is only one pure cultural industry (Zhongyuan Publishing Media).

Third, core cultural and tourism enterprises have shown wave-like improvements.
Cultural Industry Comment Statistics and Sorting, there are 18 cultural and tourism enterprises involved in the top 400 to 500. Except for three Internet (software) and information service companies, Sanqi Interactive Entertainment (325), Guangzhou Kugou (348), and Fujian NetDragon (495), the remaining 15 companies are strictly core cultural and tourism enterprises, with their main business income between 17.5 billion yuan and 9 billion yuan (see the table below for details).

Compared with the 40 shortlisted cultural tourism and related service companies, the operating income and ranking of "big cultural tourism" such as cultural tourism consumption Internet services and cultural tourism real estate (1 in the top 10, 12 in the top 100, 3 in the top 200, and 5 in the top 300), and the company is relatively large, growth-oriented and stable. However, due to objective factors such as the epidemic, the downward pressure on the culture, tourism, media and entertainment industries has continued to increase, and the main business and industry rankings have shown wave-like improvements, and the instability has increased significantly.
Regional development is still unbalanced The advantages of the three top regions in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are still showing
The list of "2022 China's top 500 service enterprises" released this time is distributed in 29 provinces (autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the central government). The three regions with the largest number are Beijing, Guangdong and Shandong. According to the Cultural Industry Commentary (ID: whcypl), the 40 major cultural and tourism and related service companies shortlisted for are distributed in 13 provinces (municipalities directly under the central government) including Guangdong, Shanghai, Beijing, Zhejiang, and other 13 provinces (municipalities directly under the central government). The characteristics of unbalanced regional development of large cultural and tourism enterprises are still significant.

First, the advantages of Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Zhejiang and Anhui are still obvious.
Judging from the distribution of the shortlisted number of 40 cultural and tourism enterprises, the top five are 10 in Guangdong, 5 in Shanghai, 4 in Beijing, Zhejiang and Anhui, with a total of 27 shortlisted companies, accounting for 67.5%; the second tier are Sichuan, Hunan and Henan, with 2 shortlisted respectively; the third tier are Shaanxi, Hubei, Jiangsu and Gansu, with 1 shortlisted each. Compared with , the traditional three top players in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou have more scale advantages, while cultural and tourism enterprises in Zhejiang and Anhui are more dynamic, and the trend of catching up is accelerating.

Second, Guangdong Province’s cultural and tourism enterprises have extraordinary strength.
According to the previous statistics, the total operating income of the 40 shortlisted cultural tourism and related service companies in 2021 was approximately 5.73 trillion yuan. According to the statistics of the total operating income of cultural and tourism-related enterprises in 13 regions, the total operating income of the 10 shortlisted cultural and tourism enterprises in Guangdong Province was 1.97 trillion yuan, accounting for 34% of the total revenue of 40 enterprises. Among them, there are 5 companies with operating income ranking among the top 100 top 500 service enterprises in China in 2022 and exceeding 100 billion yuan (see the table below for details).

Third, the city distribution of shortlisted enterprises is unevenly distributed.
Judging from the cities where the 40 cultural and tourism and related service companies shortlisted this time, it involves 16 cities at different levels. Among them, there are 2 municipalities directly under the central government (Beijing, Shanghai), 11 provincial capital cities (Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Hefei, Fuzhou, Chengdu, Changsha, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, Wuhan, Nanjing, Lanzhou), 1 sub-provincial independent city (Shenzhen), and 2 prefecture-level cities ( Wuhu City , Longyan City ). The distribution of shortlisted enterprises shows an olive-shaped structure of "small at both ends and large at the middle", which is seriously unbalanced.
From the perspective of the number of shortlisted companies in the above cities, the five cities with the largest number of shortlisted companies are Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen, and 4 cities in Beijing and Hangzhou, which is symmetrical to the previous inter-provincial shortlisted number. Among them, Shenzhen, as a sub-provincial independent city, has shown strong competitiveness. Among the five shortlisted companies, there are 1 large central enterprise and 4 large private enterprises, and is OCT, Tencent, Vanke, Huaqiang and Country Garden.

Conclusion
It is understood that the shortlist of the "Top 500 Service Enterprises in China in 2022" is for service enterprises with operating income of more than 6.909 billion yuan last year. Based on the previous analysis, it can be seen that under the superposition of unstable factors such as the epidemic, my country's cultural and tourism-related service industries, especially traditional life services such as catering, tourism and cultural and entertainment, have suffered unprecedented impacts, resulting in the increasingly differentiated and imbalanced regional competitiveness of cultural and tourism enterprises.
For this reason, the cultural industry commented and believed that in the face of the major background and changes faced by the service industry, as large and medium-sized cultural and tourism enterprises, we must seize the opportunity of digital transformation of , accelerate the transformation and upgrading of traditional cultural industries and tourism industries, vigorously cultivate cultural and tourism production-oriented service enterprises, and improve the supply quality of in cultural and tourism life enterprises, so as to truly achieve a leapfrog transformation from big to strong.
