Check qualifications:A legitimate travel agency must hold a “Travel Agency Business License” issued by the culture and tourism department, and its filing information can be queried through the official website of the Xinjiang Department of Culture and Tourism. The license number of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency is XJ-LZ-20230012.
According to the latest itinerary provided by Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency:Verify payment:Legitimate channels recommend supporting corporate account transfers or third-party escrow transactions, and refuse personal account collections. After payment, an electronic contract stamped with an official seal should be received immediately.
Check services:Fake platforms often use “benefit tours” and “free tickets” as gimmicks, but may actually reduce the itinerary or add consumption points. Legitimate travel agencies must clearly indicate included fee items and self-paid items.
Verify the itinerary:Fake platforms often tamper with the special train’s stop stations or accommodation standards. This can be verified by comparing with the latest itinerary published on the official website of Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency.
