The China National Tourism Administration (CNTA; simplified Chinese: 国家旅游局; traditional Chinese: 國家旅游局; pinyin: Guójiā Lǚyóu Jú) was a Chinese government authority responsible for the development of tourism affairs and was subordinate to the State Council. [1]: 74 Its headquarters were in Beijing, with regional branches in various provinces. [2]
The predecessor was the China Travel and Tourism Enterprise Administration (later renamed the China Travel and Tourism Administration) established in 1964. [1]: 94 It was once an agency directly under the State Council in charge of tourism. The CNTA was dissolved on March 19, 2018; the duties are merged to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. [3]
CNTA did not have the authority of a full department within the Chinese government to enforce regulations, but in other respects acted as a ministry. Provincial CNTA offices in each Chinese province reported to the central office in Beijing. CNTA had eighteen overseas offices called CNTO (China National Tourism Offices) charged with promoting tourism to China. [2]
CNTA was unique as a tourism office in that it is also responsible for controlling the outflow of tourists from China abroad.
CNTA contained The Office of National Red Tourism Coordination Group (ONRTCG or 'the Red Office'), in charge of red tourism. [1]: 74
