China Travel Service (Taiwan) Limited had once been the Department of Travel as established by the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank in 1923, and it was renamed as China Travel Service Limited in 1927 as an independent entity. It was the fist travel agency in China and was fully capitalized by the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank. In 1928, the travel agency set up the branch office in Hong Kong. Before 1948, it had a total of 87 branches, units, and guest houses in 36 cities all over China and in 1946, it established its branch office in Taipei, which also became Taiwan's first travel agency.
In
1949, the Communists gained control of Mainland China and established the People's Republic of China (PRC). Due to the regime change, China Travel Service (CTS) ceased its administrative power over all its field offices and hotels in Mainland China and Hong
Kong, and the Company's operational zone shrank drastically.
The Government of Republic of China (ROC) moved to Taiwan in 1949, and it subsequently enacted a law which required the Taipei Branch of China Travel Service(CTS) be re-registered independently with "Taiwan" in the name of the new company. As a result, China Travel Service (CTS) was re-registered and using the name as "China Travel Service (Taiwan) Limited". Meanwhile, its parent company, the Shanghai Commerical & Savings Bank(SCSB), also relocated and resumed business in Taiwan.
Currently, China Travel Service (Taiwan) is still a subsidiary fully capitalized by the Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank and in addition to the management of inbound and outbound tours, the travel agency has also invested in leisure hotels, and has been handling cargo-related business.
