Wages/Salaries and living

The salary will heavily depend on your qualification. Experience will heavily impact the level of your salary, but also your degrees are important.
I'm not very familiar with the salaries in the hospitality and tourism business, but if you have a bachelor degree in this domain, without experience, I would not go below 10'000 to 15'000 RMB, and try to bargain some bonuses such as free housing, a flight back home every year, etc.
If you have many years experience in your job, you can at least double or triple the salary you ask for. But of course it also depends on the employer, how much they can pay.

Here are some salaries I found on thebeijinger.com posted by Anonymous:
