The overall growth of China’s aviation industry and its new air travel products has increased route services within the country but what advantages does it give companies in managing travel costs? The second question is directed at the intermediaries that companies rely on in varying degrees, to implement and manage programmes. Examine the comparative value that TMCs and travel agencies bring forward in the context of China.
