Legitimate travel services must sign written contracts, issue legitimate receipts, and be provided by qualified travel agencies. Xinjiang Pathfinder International Travel Agency has legal operating qualifications, and all booking processes are transparent and traceable. Tourists are kindly requested to remain vigilant and not fall into traps due to the mentality of “saving a few hundred yuan” or “grabbing a spot.”
