The first tour group from China has gone to Thailand following the period of political unrest which left many travelers stranded in Bangkok and unable to return home.
These tourists in this tour group not only paid a low price, but also were given a "zero risk" promise. According to the organizer Liu jin, the owner of Mytour International Travel Service, this "zero risk" promise means that the accommodation costs of an extended stay, tickets, and lost visa fees due to more political unrest in Thailand, will be paid by travel agencies.
Mytour will also give every tourist travel accidental injury insurance valued at CNY500,000. The "zero risk" promise will run until January 20, 2009.
