corporate culture
 ¡ñ logo
Henan, occupying the central part of China, briefly called ¡°YU¡±, lies along the middle and lower reaches of Yellow River which is the cradle of Chinese civilization. With powerful politicians fighting for supremacy and dynasty alternating frequently, not only splendid and glorious cultural heritage, but magnificent and refined tourism resources were gestated as well through a long history, which converges into the irresistible central plain spirit. ¡°Elephant¡± is the symbol of Henan.There is no doubt that it is the mission of HTC to have more and more people learn about Yellow River, the cradle of Chinese civilization, and know more about Henan. Accordingly, ¡°Flying Elephant¡± was chosen as the logo of HTC.
The ¡°Elephant¡±, which is personalized, rallies the lofty sentiments and aspirations of HTCeses, expresses the best wishes of flourishing Henan tourism economy and building-up HTC, represents the dramatic progress of Henan¡¯s opening-up to the outside and stepping into the world.

History
In 1986, foreign Liaison office of Henan Tourism Administration
In 1987, we set up an office in Hong Kong. In the same year the tourist charter flight between Zhengzhou and Hong Kong started to run as well. By the end of 2002, more than 4,000 flights had been operated and the number of the passengers delivered mounted to 400,000 or more. Apart from carrying large scale of tourists, 30% passengers were investors coming to Henan to do business. Therefore, the significance of the charter flights was not only for tourism, but also as a golden channel for Henan¡¯s opening-up to the outside world as well.
In 1988, based on the former Foreign Liaison office of Henan Tourism Administration., Henan Tourism Company, as the only First Class travel agent in Henan province, was founded.
In 1989, our company£¬as a forerunner£¬transformed the tourism resources into tourism products. The ¡°Yellow River Tour----Soul of Chinese Nation¡±, was recognized a national tour route by National Tourism Administration.

In 1995, opening the irregular tourism charter flights Zhengzhou--- Singapore.
In 1997, our company was authorized to be one of the 65 concessionary outbound travel services in China and the only one in Henan province, which enabled the company to organize Chinese people traveling abroad.
In 1998, from a state-owned enterprise, it was changed into a multi-invested limited liability company----Henan Tourism Limited Company, forming a balance mechanism among the state, corporation and individual shareholders. Afterwards, it was officially renamed Henan Tourism Group Co., Ltd. adopting the Sub-parent company system. In the same year HTC gained the title of one of the 100 pilot units which were establishing a modern enterprise system.
In 1998, the group company merged Henan Provincial Auto Company for Foreign Affairs and Tourism and invested more than USD1.3 million into the Auto Company, making it one of the sweeping tourism auto companies in China. In the same year, by merging Luoyang China International Travel Service, the group company has achieved a standard reception system of high-quality service through combination of giant powers.
In 1999, Henan Overseas SCCT(Science, Culture, Commerce and Trade) Communication Co. Ltd ( now it is called Henan Overseas Consultation Service CO., LTD) was set up, which has been granted the right of overseas labor service consultancy. Henan Overseas Hotel Management CO., LTD (now named as Henan Daxin Hotel Management CO., LTD), which enjoys the good reputation of one of the most active and influential hotel management company in Henan. Henan E-Travel Network CO., LTD has established Henan travel service network and built a platform for travel information exchange.

In 2001, the company merged and reformed another three travel agencies-Dengfeng China International Travel Service, Sanmenxia China International Travel Service and Henan & Hong Kong International Travel Service. Obviously, the group company has achieved the combination of giant powers in travel business.
In 2002, HTC started trying to get involved in real estate development. Meanwhile its main business was divided into three parts: travel agent department, hotel management department and real estate development department, hoping that in various fields we could make great progress.
In 2004, Henan Flying Elephant Tourism Auto Service Co. Ltd was founded, which made HTC one of the largest auto companies for tourists transport in Henan.
In 2005, with the withdrawal of state shares, the company turned into a civil enterprise from a state enterprise.
Through a series of capital operations and business extension, both the company's capital and size had risen quickly, showing great vital potentials for its future development. It has been developed into a large multi-industry and multiregional group company.

Henan is situated at the interior of the mainland of China, far away from the international port. In Henan province when all travel agencies put an emphasis on receiving European and American groups from travel agencies in other big cities, our company, since its establishment in 1988, has been insisting on direct contact with foreign trave companies ourselves. The number of pax we receive from English speaking market is from 0 at the beginning to 9000 until 2007.
