guides in Chengdu,the data were analyzed by SPSS13.0 and factor analysis is

have to pay to the travel agencies to “buy” tourist groups.The author then
suggest that actions be taken by tourism administration department and tour
guide service companies to improve the existent condition of tour guides,
and to maintain their lawful rights,so that tourism industry will develop
in the right direction.
