The tourist agencies distributed all over the country are divided into two categories: international tourism and interior tourism. The most important are the China International Travel Service (CITS), the China Travel Service (CTS) and China Comfort Travel (CCT), which have opened branches in different parts of the country. International agencies organise group and tailor-made trips for foreigners in China, provide interpreter-guides in different languages, and reserve hotel rooms, together with plane, boat and train tickets.
