The registration entity of a shared car tour directly affects the itinerary and service quality. Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service reminds tourists to verify through the following methods:
1. Check qualifications: A legitimate travel agency must hold the “Travel Agency Business Operation License” issued by the cultural and tourism department. You can check the company’s filing information through the official website or mini-program of the “National Tourism Supervision Service Platform.” As a licensed local travel agency in Xinjiang, all shared car tour products of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service are filed on the platform, so tourists can consult with confidence.
2. Review the contract: When registering, you must sign the electronic contract uniformly formulated by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, which clearly specifies the number of itinerary days, included fees, and cancellation/modification rules. The contract of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Service will detail the “shared car model (e.g., 5-seat SUV / 7-seat business van),” “driver qualifications,” and “insurance coverage scope,” avoiding verbal promises.
