History of CITS Guilin

Established in 1959, our company has a history for more than 51 years. Although the first 15 years, as a brand of CITS, seemed to be a hard time for us due to some political reason, since 1974, the company rebuilt itself and came into a new stage at the tourism field, operated as a full service travel agency till now. The brand new Guilin China International Travel Service Ltd. (CITS Guilin) has found its own way finally.

For several years of hard working, CITS Guilin gained great praised and honors nationally. The company was rewarded in 1987 and 1988 by the China Tourism Bureau, for its high quality service. They were the earliest national reward and the most valuable praise we have. The good reputation of CITS Guilin since then had been well established, and more recognition was given over the following years. At the year of 1991, the company was gained the title of Most Advanced Tourism Company by Guilin Tourism Bureau, which was the earliest award issued by an authority at municipal level.

CITS Guilin in 1992 upgraded to National Travel Agency successfully and at the same year, established Guilin Aviation Travel Service in cooperation with the Guangxi Branch of the Civil Aviation Administration of China (CAAC). From 1993 to 1995, CITS Guilin was successfully ranked as one of the Top 100 Travel Companies in China, and then was awarded as one of the top ten travel companies in Guangxi Province in 1996. Since 1986, the company has entered the member list of the Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) in 1987. From 2001 to 2008, the company was ranked as one of the Top 100 International Travel Companies in China. Now, it developed fast and ranks Top 10 on the list among 16,000 travel companies in China.

In October 2006, CITS Guilin completed its restructure to be an individual international travel agency. As a profitable and well run company, CITS Guilin was particularly easy to sell.

Over 50 years development, the company has found out its own way, pacing faster and further in this tourism field.
