Great progress has been made in upgrading China's travel facilities and services in the past few years. The State Administration of Travel and Tourism appraises services and travel agencies every year to encourage the travel business organizations to offer better services to customers. The six "excellent foreign-related agencies" chosen in 1999 were the China International Travel Service Head Office, China Youth Travel Proprietary Ltd., China Travel Service Head Office, Shanghai China International Travel Ltd., Shanghai Municipal China Travel Agency and Guangdong Provincial China Travel Agency.
