A little more than 83 percent of local residents are satisfied with the tours offered by the Shanghai Tourism Gathering Center, which offers various kinds of tours to cities and towns near Shanghai, the Labor Post reported today.

More than 83 percent of Shanghainese are satisfied with the bus stations, tour guides and scenic spots, according to a survey.

The center, located in the Shanghai Stadium, has done a good job with ticket services, according to many locals.

All the tour guides have professional certificates and the itinerary is always well organized, said some locals.

Some 25 percent of locals complain about the impersonal nature of the tours. "Sometimes the tour guides don't even greet the tourists or bid them farewell, and often forget to introduce scenic spots to them," said some Shanghainese.
