The development history of CITS

On April 15, 1954, under the personal care of Premier Zhou Enlai, China International Travel Service was officially established in Beijing . In the same year, branches were established in 12 cities including Shanghai, Tianjin, and Guangzhou. At the beginning of its establishment, CITS was a foreign affairs reception unit affiliated with the State Council. At that time, there was no administrative agency dedicated to managing the tourism industry in the country, and CITS actually performed the government management functions.

At the end of 1957, CITS established 19 branches in major large and medium-sized cities across the country, and CITS' reception business network was initially formed. During this period, political reception was the main focus.

The CITS system opened additional branches in cities open to foreign guests, increased tourist routes, and expanded the scope of tourists' sightseeing. By the end of 1958, it had grown to 35 branches.

In June 1958, the State Council issued instructions on the China International Travel Service's report on preparing to establish branches and branches of international travel agencies.

In July 1964, the China Tourism and Tourism Administration (the predecessor of the National Tourism Administration) was established, and the management system of China's tourism industry entered a new era. During this period, a government-enterprise integration system was implemented. The National Tourism Administration and the China National Tourism Administration were "two brands, one team." It uses the China National Travel Service brand for external recruitment and performs the functions of the National Tourism Administration for internal industry management. By 1966, the CITS system had grown to 46 branches.

In 1982, CITS and the China National Tourism Administration began to operate and operate separately in accordance with the principle of "separation of government and enterprise".

In 1984, the National Tourism Administration approved the China National Tourism Administration as an enterprise unit. Since then, CITS has transformed from its original centralized foreign affairs department into a large-scale tourism enterprise that operates independently and is responsible for its own profits and losses.

In 1989, the National Tourism Administration approved the establishment of China International Travel Service Group. In 1992, the State Economic and Trade Commission approved the establishment of China National Travel Service Group, with CITS Head Office as the core enterprise of the group.

In 1994, CITS was listed as one of the “100 Modern Enterprise System Pilot Enterprises” by the State Council.

In 1998, CITS was listed among 520 national key enterprises.

At the end of 1998, CITS separated from the National Tourism Administration and became an enterprise directly managed by the central government.
