Travel Agents and tour Operators can be useful for when you are looking for the unique destination as are the first time visitors . Internet also help but Internet is a third Party .Travel Agents are real you can directly contact with them .It s from My experience.

It's true, Roger because they are paid to do the job. When one doesn't have time frame, then browsing the area by himself is an option. Maps and internet friends do help and can be quite rewarding. A decade of travelling on and off to China, I am yet to use any travel agent.

Firstly we choose it for good guides as well as low price.Good guide must be there if you choose travel agency because you have to enjoy on traveling and gain some knowledge about different places.

Tommy, it's not easy to find an equation for good guide and low price. Most of the time it's good guide and high price as "you pay what is worth" especially in China. You may find cheaper guides among the students but they lack experience.

It's totally right. Some students even offer free tour guide service in order to practice their English.

BBQQ, in 2007, my friends and I attended GZ (Canton) Trade Fair, and we were assisted by two students who were studying Business English. According to them, every year their university would be participating in order to expose their students to business environment as well as pratising their English usage. I saw most of them were using electronic dictionary. Third year English major students trying to find some English words? For 5 days, every afternoon over a cup of tea we would sit somewhere and discuss things in English without having electronic dictionary.

Wan,

I don not know if they do their best to learn at school. Maybe, they can do daily conversation translation very well.

BBQQ, perhaps they are not used to speaking English thus they feel awkward. They need to speak daily and build their own listening skills. It's more than four years now, and they are able to communicate with me verbally without having electronic dictionary.
