CYTS Holdings Co., Ltd., the full name of CYTS, was founded in 1980 by the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League, and its headquarters is located in Dongzhimen CYTS Building. CYTS has always been one of the top three state-owned travel agencies in the country and the first listed travel agency in China. In 2018, the Central Committee of the Communist Youth League completed the equity transfer of CYTS, and the largest shareholder of CYTS has been changed to Everbright Group.

CYTS is mainly engaged in the domestic market, and there are few outbound routes. In the domestic itinerary, CYTS has a rich selection of routes, covering popular domestic travel destinations, among which East China Tourism, Yunnan and Sanya are the most popular. In some itineraries, the hostel will start the group independently from 6 people, with a maximum of 25 people, and the experience of boutique small groups is better than that of large groups with more people. In terms of East China tourism, CYTS has a unique scenic advantage, the famous Wuzhen Scenic Area in East China is controlled by CYTS, CYTS has the exclusive right to operate the east and west gates of Wuzhen and the priority development rights of the south and north gates, and has more say in the resources of the scenic spot than other travel agencies. In terms of travel around Beijing, CYTS has copied the Wuzhen model and invested in the development of the Gubei Water Town Tourist Area in Miyun, so it has good resources in the tour around Beijing, and the relationship between the group travel agency and the local team is closer. In terms of outbound travel, the strength of CYTS is relatively weak, and most of the outbound groups are grouped or affiliated groups, so they are not recommended.

At present, all the signboards of CYTS stores have been replaced with a unified "CYTS Travel Network", which has opened up online and offline, and customers can check the travel route information on the official website of CYTS Travel Online, and can also get the same information in the store. Compared with the old travel agencies such as CITS and CTS, the front-line staff of CYTS stores have a warm service attitude and are more motivated, and will take the initiative to make suggestions. If you are interested in a domestic group tour, it will be a safer plan to choose CYTS among traditional travel agencies.
