Maiden tours to
Europe as of September 1 are proved to be a hit to the market, with the tours
booked up in many local travel agencies, the Wenhui Daily reported today.
All
the major local travel agencies reported full reservations of their first tours
to Europe on September 1. The Shanghai China International Travel Service Co Ltd
had planned to organize one package tour to Europe, but finally found six tours
were still not enough.
Traditional classic itineraries will mainly be
contained in the maiden trips, with the prices not so high as expected. The
Shanghai China Travel Service charged 9,800 (US$1,180) on tours to five European
countries including Italy, France, Luxemburg, Belgium and the Netherlands.
The popular maiden trips have driven up the airfares between China and
Europe, with the airfares in the current low season having reaching those in the
golden weeklong holiday.
