Riyue Bay Surf Resort powered by PerfectSwell® surf technology

China Tourism Group is one of the most significant tourism enterprises in China, with a history dating back more than a century and a business network spanning mainland China, and international markets. Its platform includes travel services, scenic destinations, hotels, duty free retail, tourism transportation, real estate, cultural tourism and related destination businesses. CTG's development of Riyue Bay Surf Resort, anchored by PerfectSwell® surf technology, offers an early signal of what this partnership is designed to scale: destination experiences driven by surf.

"The formation of Eastern Swell Dynamics reflects the next phase of PerfectSwell® growth," said AWM Founder Bruce McFarland. "AWM brings the surf technology, enthusiasm for the sport and surf park experience. CTG brings extraordinary regional capability, destination development experience and institutional reach. Together, we believe the joint venture is positioned to support a new generation of surf park projects."

The launch comes as PerfectSwell® Surf Parks continue to emerge as powerful destination anchors, hospitality drivers and next generation recreational assets. Through Eastern Swell Dynamics, AWM and CTG intend to create a focused regional platform for long term market development, localized project support and premium surf experiences. "Riyue Bay Surf Resort has already demonstrated the appeal of high-performance PerfectSwell® surf within a destination experience developed by CTG," said Wei Li, CFO of CTG Investments.
