Company Profile

COMPANY PROFILE

Bingtuan Youth Travel Service Co., Ltd. was established in June 1984 in Urumqi as the youth travel bureau of the Communist Youth League of the Xinjiang Production and Construction Corps (Bingtuan). It was restructured into a limited liability company in 2004 with registered capital of CNY 10 million.

Our business spans domestic group tours, all-Xinjiang ground handling, outbound tours, corporate meetings and incentive travel, parent-child study tours, Bingtuan "red culture" educational travel, and fully tailored trips. We hold Travel Agency Business Permit L-XB-CJ00004 allowing outbound group operation, and are fully registered on the National Tourism Supervision Service Platform with quality deposits paid in full.

Our positioning

Not the cheapest — the one that knows Xinjiang best. Every route is operated in-house or through long-term partner fleets; 100% of guides are nationally licensed. 40 years of local resources let us take you into pastures that are not yet open, into Tuva homes, and into Gobi hinterlands.

We are the continuing provider for union wellness, primary and secondary school study tours and Party-organ training inside the Bingtuan system, while serving retail travellers with 4-15 day themed group tours, private small groups, shared cars and one-trip-one-plan high-end custom.
