Me, not so long time as a guide, but work hard, service thoughtfully and with strong responsibility. Being as a tour guide, we should of course protect the interest of the travel agency but meanwhile the interest of our customers. For every overseas tourists, they come to China in order to have a pleasant, enjoyable and memorable vacation, and that just accords with my view over tourism. Best service is the basis of a double-win between tour company and customers. I will keep going on my way to be a eligible and excellent guide.
