Urgent attention to all KLTGA members,

We have received messages from members that a few China inbound travel agencies are implementing guide fees scale according to average tourist shopping spending in a group.

These agencies offer to pay minimum guide fees of RM500 per tour, only if tourists in the group have spent a minimum average of RM750 per pax in shopping stops. This practice equivalent to ZERO basic guide fee.

KLTGA is strongly against this guide fee payment structure.

We therefore urge all members NOT to accept any assignments without payment of basic daily guide fees.
