Chongqing has released a travel agency salesroom management measure to regulate the behavior of travel agencies in the city.

The new measure, which is called Chongqing Municipal Travel Agency Salesroom Management Measure, says that as a business site for travel agencies to attract customers and provide consulting services, the agency salesrooms, which are often off-site, should be considered internal departments of a travel agency and can not be incorporated as individual business entities.

The measure stipulates that if a salesroom runs services beyond the approved scope of its business license or is involved in any illegal behavior, the travel agency to which it belongs will be punished by the tourism department according to Travel Agency Management Rule and Chongqing Municipal Tourism Rule. The salesroom itself may have its registration license revoked too.
