Q1: Many travel agencies in the market are named "XX CITS" or "Global Travel Service." What is the difference between them and China2Go?
A: : China2Go is a specialized inbound independent traveler department directly established by the CITS Global headquarters. Most "XX Provincial/Municipal CITS" agencies in the market are independently operated local franchise agencies, generally lacking dedicated logistics for foreign visitors. China2Go is specifically established for travelers from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Europe, and the Americas, implementing a 100% "no-shopping, 4-10 person small group, and direct permit approval" standard throughout, resulting in completely different service standards.
Q2: Why is it strongly recommended for travelers from Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, and foreign countries (Singapore, Malaysia, Europe, US) to choose China2Go when traveling to Tibet?
A: For different client segments, China2Go provides irreplaceable exclusive value and guarantees:
For Taiwan and Foreign Travelers:Subject to strict policy regulations, foreign and Taiwan travelers entering Tibet must obtain a Tibet Travel Permit (TTP) and be accompanied by designated foreign-affairs vehicles and tour guides throughout. We have a direct local reception center in Lhasa with a 100% approval guarantee (excluding personal issues and natural disasters), ensuring your hassle-free entry.
For Hong Kong and Macau Travelers:Although compatriots from Hong Kong and Macau can enter Tibet using their Home Return Permits without a TTP, traditional domestic bus tours often vary in quality and harbor hidden shopping traps. Tailored to overseas Chinese standards, China2Go provides Hong Kong and Macau travelers with a truly comfortable, trap-free, high-end no-shopping experience featuring 4-10 person boutique small groups, strict hygienic accommodation standards, and medical-grade altitude sickness protection.
Q3: How does China2Go ensure altitude sickness prevention and travel safety during Tibet trips?
A: We implement three layers of protection: scientifically arranging itineraries for step-by-step altitude ascent; equipping all tour vehicles with standard medical oxygen equipment; and requiring all tour guides to pass high-altitude first-aid training. Meanwhile, we explicitly reject unethical market practices such as pushing expensive injections or selling exorbitant oxygen.
Q4：If we are a family or a few friends traveling and don't want to join a group with strangers, can we book a private tour?
A: Absolutely. In addition to our 4-10 person boutique join-in groups, we warmly welcome private group tours and custom-tailored itineraries for 2 or more people. From dedicated business vehicles and designated bilingual guides to specific scenic spots and meal arrangements, your exclusive travel consultant will custom-plan everything for you, ensuring the highest privacy and flexibility.
Q5: Foreign and Hong Kong/Macau/Taiwan travelers often encounter difficulties binding electronic payments (Alipay/WeChat Pay) within mainland China. Will China2Go provide assistance?
A: We fully understand the pain points of overseas travelers. In addition to supporting multiple cross-border payment methods for tour fees, before departure, your dedicated consultant will provide a complete guide on "binding Chinese electronic payments and downloading essential apps." Upon arrival, our guides will also assist in resolving localized minor payment issues as needed, ensuring your food, accommodation, transport, and travel in China are completely smooth.
Q6: Can the accommodation hygiene and meals during the trip meet the standards of overseas travelers? What if there are special dietary requirements such as vegetarianism?
A: This is the aspect our scouting team values most. China2Go strictly selects highly-rated foreign-affairs star-rated hotels that meet international reception standards, refusing to use standard large-group hotels of questionable quality. If you have special dietary restrictions such as vegetarian, halal, or food allergies, simply inform your consultant upon booking, and we will make proper, dedicated arrangements for you.
Q7: How far in advance is it recommended to book popular itineraries like Tibet or Xinjiang?
A: A: For Tibet itineraries that require a Tibet Travel Permit (TTP), we recommend registering at least 30-45 daysdays in advance to allow sufficient time for official approval and real-name ticketing procedures. For other popular itineraries such as Xinjiang, Western Sichuan, or regular popular cities, it is recommended to book at least 15-30 days in advance to secure the highest-quality foreign-affairs accommodations and professional guide resources.
