Legal norms:

The Tourism Law of the People's Republic of China (hereinafter referred to as the Tourism Law) has been officially implemented for half a year since 20 13 10 1. Judging from the market situation, it has played a great role in regulating the operation of travel agencies, and the number of complaints from tourists has dropped significantly.

After the implementation of "Tourism Law", the way that travel agencies used to attract customers only by low prices has been unable to adapt to the new situation. In order to survive in the market, travel agencies must change their profit model and introduce products and services that can better meet the needs of tourists.
