As it is expensive for most travelers to do a private tour in Tibet, travelers are advised to join in a tour group to cut down the cost. Having accumulated rich client resources during its development of over ten years, Tibet Vista Tour is offering a finding travel mates service to help individual travelers finding a Travel Mate.
“You know, foreigners are not allowed to do an independent tour in Tibet," said Mrs. Catherine Jing, manager of the company. "You must apply for a permit through a legal travel agency, and foreigners can’t travel without the companion of a licensed tour guide. In addition, tourist sites sometimes are far from each other, so you must hire a vehicle and a driver. These push up the cost”.
“We are concerned that some of our clients might have to cancel the travel because of the high cost, so we decide to help them to find travel mates to share the cost,” Catherine said. “It is easy for us because we have rich customer resources. We also publish messages on many famous travel forums in order to find more.”
“We have successfully found travel partners for lots of individual travelers. It is a great pleasure for us to help them save money,” Catherine said excitingly. “For example, we can reduce the price of a tour from Lhasa to Everest Base Camp from USD 1,500 to USD 800-900. Another example, we provide a trip to Lhasa from mainland China by train at a price less than USD 550, including the train ticket. It is affordable for most tourists.”
“This way, we are able to offer our clients the best price. That's why we quickly become the leading local travel agency,” she continued.
“We have two ways to achieve it. Generally, we have fixed departure dates for hot tours each month. You can join in any of our groups you like. Based on our experience, this is currently the most effective way. To guarantee the quality of services, we strictly control the group size within twelve participants. You will get enough chances to communicate with the tour guide in such a small group.”
“The other way is that we set up a group according to your requirements, like where you want to visit and what kinds of travel mates you prefer. Then we will find the right partners for you.”
According to the travel agency, the most popular destinations are Lhasa, Shigatse, Mt. Everest, and Mount Kailash. The company has designed six hot Tibet group tourscovering the following destinations:
“Our company organized over 100 such
tour groups to Tibet in 2013 and 2014. They helped more than 1,000 individual travelers to cut down cost,” said Ms. Debbie, the OP manager of Tibet Vista Tour. “We are going to offer more group tours this year, including festival tours with fixed departure dates.”
