Spring has become one of the oldest travel companies in China since being founded in 1981 by Shanghai-based entrepreneur Mr. Wang Zhenghua. It is one of the longest running private travel agencies in China. For 14 consecutive years since 1994, Spring was been acknowledged as China's number one travel agency.
Under Wang Zhenghua's leadership, Spring has revolutionized the Chinese travel industry - making affordable travel available to much of China for the first time. From the company's early beginnings he has always liked to keep in close contact with his staff and customers. In 2005, Spring Airlines was launched - China's first budget airline. In just a few short years it has become the country's favourite air carrier, transporting millions of travelers annually. The Spring Airlines fleet is growing, and with new routes opening every year, a bright future is predicted for this ground-breaking initiative.
Similarly, the opening of ChinaSpringTour - the company's first English language department - in 2007 led to a total change in the Chinese travel industry. For the first time, foreign nationals visiting or living in China had access to flight and accommodation services previously only available on Chinese language websites. Spring Travel's aim of making travel available to all people has truly been put into practice.
With the launch of the English language service ChinaSpringTour.com, Mr Wang has spearheaded a new age in travel for foreign nationals in China. Low cost, quality travel is now available to non-Chinese speaking residents in China. For Wang Zhenghua, this is just the next stage in creating an authoritative, all-inclusive resource for the world's most exciting travel market.
