Wang Zhifa, deputy director of China National Tourism Administration, has announced that CNTA will cancel the limit on foreign travel agencies' forming of branches in China from July 1.

Wang disclosed the news at Pan-Pearl River Delta Region Chief Executive and ASEAN Countries Business Official Meeting where he said that CNTA would continue to care for and support the Pearl River Delta Region.

Wang says CNTA will offer the same treatment to foreign travel agencies with that of domestic travel agencies, as part of its commitments to the World Trade Organization. In order to achieve this goal CNTA would eliminate the limits on foreign-funded travel agencies and further its cooperation and exchange with tourism industry in Hong Kong and Macau. In addition, CNTA will cooperate with Hong Kong and Macao tourism departments to jointly launch Olympic Games travel and "one-stop" travel services.

According to Wang, CNTA is working out now how to attract powerful international travel enterprises to come to the China market and is actively encouraging Chinese travel companies to run businesses in foreign destinations, while offering support to ASEAN countries for them to come to seize more opportunities in the booming Chinese travel sector.
