Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why is our customer satisfaction so high? (A real client question)
Satisfaction comes from three dimensions: First, no deception — Ten Commitments written into the contract, double compensation for any single breach; Second, more value for the same price — structural enhancements (high-speed rail to Jiuzhaigou saving 6 hours on mountain roads, full Duku Highway route, complete Erhai Lake loop, Jade Dragon Snow Mountain Glacier Cableway, first entry at every scenic spot); Third, someone has your back when things go wrong — a travel consultant follows through pre-trip, during, and post-trip; direct management of driver-guides; independent quality inspections; at least one company leader in the group chat.
Q: What are the Ten Commitments? What happens if there's a breach? (A real client question)
Ten Commitments: 1. All-inclusive pricing (no extra payments after arrival) 2. Pure sightseeing, no shopping stops 3. Hotel confirmed upon booking (the hotel name provided is the final accommodation; otherwise upgraded to a better one) 4. The main contract matches all appendices 5. Driver-guide does not solicit tips 6. The vehicle will not be changed during the trip 7. No skipped attractions 8. 500,000 RMB travel accident insurance 9. No subcontracting, no dropping guests mid-tour 10. One booking, one vehicle, no group merging. Breach consequences: Double compensation applies to any breached item (written into the contract; paid upon breach). Problem resolution and compensation are handled independently. For hotel situations, we first attempt to upgrade to a higher standard; if upgrade is impossible, compensation follows the breach terms.
Q: How does the team operate? (A real client question)
Travel Consultant (the person communicating with you — follows through pre-trip, during, and post-trip) + Driver-Guide (is familiar with the preferences of overseas Chinese travelers, on fixed salary, no shopping involvement) + Quality Supervisor (independent audits, not under the sales department) + At least one company leader in the group chat (to make decisions on escalated issues). We don't just hand groups over to driver-guides and step back — the entire chain is in the brand's hands.
