The Beijing Tourism Association has announced the first group of 24 credited travel agencies in the city.

The 24 travel agencies, including China Travel Service and Hong Kong China Tourism International, have made a joint commitment to maintaining the travel market order, signing tourist contracts recommended by the government, and not conducting any other improper competition.

In recent years, unregulated behaviors such as low price competition and shopping commissions have become more serious on China's tourism market.

Beijing Tourism Association says that it has set up the credit travel agency standard to help supervise travel enterprises.

Each of the 24 travel agencies have been issued a credit logo, which will be cancelled immediately once the travel agency is found breaking the standards.

At present, there are 699 travel agencies in Beijing, of which 200 are members of Beijing Tourism Association.
