With the unification of the outbound travel contracts in China, the current haphazard travel market in China caused by non-standard travel contracts will be changed.

News from a national travel work conference held in Jinan, Shandong Province is that China will implement a unified contract for outbound travel this year and further promote the construction of a long term travel credit system. The credit system will compile information on travel agencies who break travel-related rules in China and also provide information to consumers about trustworthy travel businesses.

The new travel contract sample will be drafted by China National Tourism Administration and State Administration for Industry and Commerce.

China has become the largest outbound travel market in Asia and the number of China's outbound tourists is on the rise. At the same time, many disputes have arisen from unregulated travel contracts where tour guides do not bring guests to promised locations or force travelers to buy souveniers at selected stalls.
