More than 200
locals today pioneered the trip to Europe, the Youth Post reported.
The
Shanghai Jinjiang International Travel Co Ltd organized five initial tours to
Europe today, with around 200 tourists. Three flight-chartering tours are bound
to 15 countries for ten days, and with cheap prices, they are attracting a lot
of attention in the market.
"If the number of air-tickets increases, we can
organize more of such tours," said a spokesman with the Shanghai Jinjiang
International Travel Co Ltd.
Other tours leaving with Jinjiang today are the
special tours to France and Italy and a four-day trip to Northern Europe.
The Shanghai China Youth Travel Service Tour Corporation will launch a tour
covering France, Italy and Switzerland on September 3.
In order to avoid
illegal stays, domestic travel agencies are required to collect deposits valued
at 30,000 - 50,000 yuan (US$3,600-US$6,000) from each tourist.
