Nine cities in Zhejiang, Jiangxi, Fujian and Anhui provinces in eastern China have signed a cooperation agreement to create non-barrier travel for tourists.

The nine cities are Jingdezhen, Shangrao, Yingtan, Fuzhou, Nanping, Huanghsan, Jinhua, Quzhou and Lishui. All of them have abundant travel resources and a combined 16 national scenic spots and natural reserves among them.

According to the agreement, travel agencies in these nine cities can arrange branches and offices in the other cities. This encourages franchised and chain travel agencies to replace the ground reception guide services used by domestic travel agencies.
