沪上旅行社被指超期扣留旅客签证抵押金   2015-01-16

 

CITY travel agents have been accused of keeping deposits tourists pay as part of visa application services for longer than they should.

This came after the China National Tourism Administration last week called for this go-between practice to be reformed.

Many Chinese tourists pay travel agencies to organize their visas for them out of convenience. Some consulates — such as Japan’s — also insist that tourist visa applications come through travel agencies.
