Self-guided tours are free to see many of the sights that can not be seen by the tour groups, and do not have to go to places where you do not want to buy travel products that are much more expensive than the outside. Time and money are much more economical.

Self-guided tour, I believe many people have to live in what hotel is the most cost-effective and troublesome. Not sleeping in a comfortable, clean environment can make travel guilty, but at the same time, you want to minimize the cost of accommodation that takes up most of your travel expenses. There is a kind of idea that may help you to be both comfortable and calculating.

Calculation 1: Online is cheaper than market price

The bazaar price of most hotels is more than 30% more expensive than the online booking price. Therefore, for self-service travel to save money, booking room rates is not advisable. If you can make reservations after shopping online in advance, you can still save a lot of money.

If you must book a hotel in your area, you must bargain. From the price of accommodation in some cities, most of them can be counter-offered, generally 60%-80% of the price. Therefore, when you arrive at a tourist destination, you must not ask the price and rush to go through the registration process. You should negotiate the price first to see if there is room for a counter-offer, and then check in again. If time allows, you can run several more and compare. From the point of view of safety protection and food hygiene, the choice of accommodation should consider hotels, hotels, and guest houses that are of higher grades. It is better not to save money but to stay in private hotels where the environment is poor.

Calculate 2: Time difference

If you don't want to spend too much money and you want to travel well, you should be good at using the time difference in travel to save money.

First, we must try our best to avoid the peak season and travel in the off-season. In general, the scenic spots are divided between off-season and peak season. When traveling in the off-season, not only is the car comfortable to sit in, but due to the small number of visitors, some hotels have discounts on accommodation, discounts and even discounts of more than 50%. On the issue of eating, the hotel will also have different preferences based on the actual situation in the off-season. Therefore, choosing to travel off-season is much less costly than during peak season.

When traveling, plan the fun places and time carefully, try to fill the dates and arrange the route. If you arrive in the morning, do not go to the accommodation immediately because many rooms may not have checked out yet. And carrying a package to a bad counter-offer, you can first bag in the train station, go play, play while watching whether there is a suitable hotel, and then go to the house in the evening, counter-offer. And if there is no one staying at this time, you can stay at a lower price.

The disadvantages of participating in tours

1. Passive: Since the tour of the delegation needs to be operated according to the unified route established by the travel agency, tourists should follow a unified schedule. Visitors are more passive in the control of time and attractions, and it is difficult to exert their subjectivity.

Solution: In addition to using self-guided tours, visitors can use the route that best suits their needs, and can consult with travel agencies to choose between certain attractions or take a more flexible approach to time, or choose a semi-tourism tour. Lines, but this does not always apply.

2. Inequality: There are two aspects:

A. Inequality: When tourists get on the bus, they often find that their prices are not the same as the prices of others. Some are high and some are low. Most tourists cannot accept this and feel cheated.

Apart from the normal price difference due to the different levels of the delegation, there are indeed different prices. This should be said to be a more general problem. There are several reasons: First, tourists from the same car come from different travel agencies. Each travel agency does not have a uniform price when accepting a tourist registration. Second, because of the difference in price due to different registration times for tourists, the earlier the registration is, the earlier the registration is. The lower the price is, there are exceptions. Since the travel agency's formulation of the overall price is affected by a variety of factors, some are difficult to grasp, and it is also possible that the later-registered tourists enjoy preferential prices due to temporary price adjustments. Third, the more tourists who sign up together at the time of registration, the more benefits they may receive. Fourthly, it is also related to the bargaining power of some tourists. Another reason is that the travel agencies of the delegation have not received enough money because of people, and in order to reduce losses, they have to cut prices or buy tourists from other travel agencies at low prices. The existence of price difference is not aimed at a certain part of tourists because the price difference between individual groups cannot be completely eliminated. The only way is to reduce the price difference as much as possible. Maybe this time your price will be higher than others and the next time Others are a little lower.

Solution: try to bargain, register as soon as possible, try to get enough more people to join the group.

B. Inequality of treatment: Due to the large number of individual groups, most do not know. Each visitor’s background, experience, personality, hobbies, and temperament are often subject to or believe that they receive unequal treatment, such as before and after seats. , tour guide attitude, speaking style, etc.

Solution: First of all, to admit that a tour guide is inevitably facing a lot of tourists there are inconveniences, to be more understanding, feelings of peace, to believe that for most tour guides, there is at least a professional ethics, they will treat tourists equally, at the same time If you have any questions, you should check them out with your guides for mutual understanding.

3. Being cheated: Many tourists are always worried about whether they will be deceived. What if they are cheated?

It is undeniable that there have been cases where tourist groups have been cheated. However, with the strengthening of the management of the tourism industry, this situation of being deceived by the delegation (in this case, the greater deception) is becoming less and less, illegal travel agencies or Although the situation of "black society" cannot be completely eliminated, it is rare. If it is only for some minor "deceitful", such as quality problems, price issues, etc., in fact, can not be described as "deceived", this should be another category of issues. Solution: The simplest and most effective method is to check business licenses and travel permits, and inquire the local tourism bureau about the legitimacy of travel agencies. If the participating companies must sign a tourism contract under the supervision of the Tourism Bureau and the Bureau of Industry and Commerce, which has a company official seal. And ask for a formal travel agency invoice. If there are really problems, complaints can be made to the local tourism bureaus and they will be handled properly.

4. Transferring delegations: Involving individual groups will inevitably encounter mutual transfer issues among travel agencies. This has caused many tourists to feel uncomfortable.

The reason: it is very simple and the strength of unity is great. It is difficult for a travel agency to support the mission of the delegation alone, especially for tourism provinces such as Hunan and Guangxi. The number and richness of tourist routes are combined with the status quo of Chinese travel agencies that are recognized as: scattered, weak, and small. It is impossible for a travel agency to be completely independent. It is also impossible for tourists to find a travel agency that can dispatch groups alone. Therefore, the transfer of travel between travel agencies becomes necessary. In fact, it is also good for tourists. It is because of the combination of travel agencies that make travel possible. The cost is effectively controlled. Otherwise, it is conceivable that each travel agency will independently administer the mission. The result is surely that the number of delegations is insufficient, or it will be canceled temporarily, or the cost of the delegation will increase, which will increase tourism prices.

Solution: A company's travel agency to find out whether or not alone to send groups; require travel agents to indicate the transfer of the content, travel responsibility by the travel agency signed the contract all bear.

5, tour guide:

If you encounter a good tour guide in the tour, the tourism process will be icing on the cake, which is a kind of enjoyment; on the contrary, the enjoyment of travel will be discounted. And many complaints are also due to tour guides.

Solution: Choose a better travel agency and record the advantages and disadvantages of the tour guide to the travel agency or related department to get the guide to get the rewards and penalties it deserves so as to form a good atmosphere in the tour guide.

6, shopping:

In fact, shopping itself is not a bad thing. It is just that what we mean by shopping here is not shopping in a general sense, but it refers specifically to tourism shopping in the tourism process.

Among the six major elements of tourism, shopping accounts for one, which means that tourism shopping itself is a normal thing, and it is understandable. However, in recent years, tourism shopping has become the largest among tourists and tour operators. "Heart disease." There is a contradiction here, which is the contradiction between price and shopping.

On the one hand, in order to gain an advantage in competition, travel agencies are trying to reduce costs in order to attract tourists, but when prices cannot be lowered any more, there is no way to reduce them. Other methods must be used to make up, for example, shopping. Shopping to get a portion of the commission to make up for the profits and even the cost, but when the commission is too large to be out of proportion, it is not shopping in the ordinary sense. On the other hand, many tourists find ways to reduce tourism prices, but if the prices are too low, it is inevitable that they will increase shopping in the itinerary. This takes up travel time.

For tourists, this is also a contradiction. On the one hand, it lowers the travel expenses. On the other hand, shopping on the itinerary also affects the time. It is no wonder that some tourists say that it is time for money.

For travel agencies, this is also a contradiction. On the one hand, they want to improve the quality of tourism and make tourists happy. On the one hand, they face the loss of tourists and they do not know how to choose.

Solution: spend more money to choose a pure tour group or pure play group; if you participate in the ordinary group, you will not be able to buy goods that you are not satisfied with. Even if you are satisfied with the goods, you must compare prices and buy more. In addition, some newly-developed lines may be selected. Due to the short development time and the tourism products have not kept up with these lines, the functions of tourism and shopping have not yet been fully implemented, such as the ancient city of Phoenix (no shopping at all) and the Mengdong River in Wangcun. (Shopping less) and so on.

Through the above analysis, you may get a general understanding of whether you are traveling as a group tour or self-help travel. Actually, whatever you choose is correct, and you don’t need to be certain because of what others do, as long as it suits you. You yourself are the best choice; you can't have only one travel experience in your life, and each experience can bring you wonderful memories, which can make you more aware of the world we live in. That is the most important .
