The signing of the agreement was a great day for both countries and opened up an opportunity for new and better business for Chinese and American travel professionals. NTA, the leading association for travel professionals, is proud to have developed the program to maintain the list of U.S.-based tour operators who are approved to work with travel agents and tour operators in China to serve the group leisure inbound market to the United States. The China National Tourism Administration supports the NTA program and regularly posts the list of U.S.-based approved operators. (Turn to page 40 to find the list of approved operators.) In accordance with the CNTA, all Chinese agents and operators bringing leisure travelers to the United States must work with one of the approved tour operators. This policy is designed to ensure that your clients are getting the best of the United States. In order to gain acceptance on the list of approved companies, tour operators must adhere to certain requirements that ensure quality products and the best experience for the Chinese traveler. For example, approved tour operators must provide a professional guide who is fluent in Mandarin—a group cannot bring a guide from China. Approved tour operators must uphold the integrity of the itinerary and provide the quality of destinations and accommodations that have been advertised. They must review the safety records of all subcontracted suppliers and make sure that these companies are in compliance with laws, and they must not impose coercive shopping on the members of a group. NTA works with the CNTA and professionals in the travel industry to ensure these standards are upheld.
