What should I pay attention to when traveling with a group? Must I join a group?

Free travel is more free and convenient, the itinerary can be adjusted at will, and the tour on the itinerary can change your mind. Since there are no shopping and self-funded projects, tourists' money can be spent on the forefront of free travel. Go to the most worthwhile place to play. All are free time.

Book air tickets and hotels in the travel agency according to your own plan. If you think the itinerary may change, choose a ticket that can be changed. Because travel agencies have long-term cooperative relations with airlines and hotels, the price will be cheaper than individual reservations.

Boarding with the travel team, after arriving at the destination, we left the big army and moved freely until the day we returned, reunited with the team and flew back together. Or leave/return to the same destination at the same time as other free travellers. This package will be cheaper because the air ticket is a group price.

Nowadays, many aspects are becoming more and more convenient, such as the choice of transportation and accommodation, especially the development of the Internet, so that many tourists can better understand the information. Things that used to need to be solved through travel agencies can now be solved by themselves through the Internet. If you want to check information, book air tickets, hotels and tickets, you can do it online. You have got everything ready before you go out.

So now more and more freedom, especially young people. They don't I don't like to follow tour groups for a long time. That kind of travel has become the easiest way to travel. If you want to travel in depth, it is more appropriate to travel freely. So what are the benefits of free travel for more people to choose from?

One is freedom, which is the greatest advantage. The itinerary of traditional tour groups is arranged in advance. The tour group can take tourists anywhere, and the places to eat and live are reserved in advance by the tour group. There is not much free time at all, and the days are usually full. From morning till night, we all go to the scenic spots. For many people, this is not fun at all. You don't have to stay in a favorite scenic spot for too long, but free travel is to arrange your own itinerary and play as you like, so you don't have to worry about running with others.

In addition, you can choose what you like. For example, you can only choose what you are interested in. I don't need to go to any scenic spots like a tour group. If you don't, you can't I can't see them. It's your choice. There is also the choice of accommodation and catering that you like. Now, booking tickets online is very convenient. You can choose your favorite hotel type or look at the hotel's evaluation. The same is true for eating. You can decide according to your own taste, or if you want to taste local food, you can find it yourself. These are all decided according to their own situation.

Another is to know a place in depth. You can get on and off when you go to a place with a tour group. It is impossible to know a place deeply. After all, time is limited, but free travel is different. You can visit, experience, communicate with local people and so on. These are all good ways to get to know a place. You can learn something in depth, which a tour group can't do.

Of course, besides the above, there are many advantages. After all, travel is an important part of one's life. It's in a hurry with the tour group, and. S nothing but watching and taking pictures. So more and more people choose to travel freely.

Let me tell you the difference between them. Traveling with a group is the most worry-free and convenient way to travel. Just find a travel agency in your city and explain the travel cycle and the scenic spots you want to visit, which will help you arrange food, accommodation and transportation properly. Is it good or bad to travel with a group? Advantages of traveling with a group: don't worry about booking air tickets, checking travel guides, arranging routes and hotel accommodation, and don't worry about traffic between scenic spots. Disadvantages of traveling with a group: As the name implies, traveling with a group is to follow the itinerary, and the route is to follow the prescribed route. You don't have to choose the route at will, and the group tour carries most tourists in Yunnan. With the change of tourist groups, the proportion of group tours has dropped sharply. Especially in recent years, group tours have become synonymous with shopping tours, and there are more shops. This year, Yunnan vigorously rectified American tourism and banned shopping. Although it is forbidden, it still exists. I believe that with the gradual rectification, group tours will get better and better. Tip: Traveling with a group is the cheapest way to travel on the surface, but it is not cheap if you add ditches and pay your own expenses.

Group tours are suitable for people: students, the elderly and people with no social experience. They are more suitable for group travel. Whether it's interesting or not, it's mainly about security. From the beginning of the trip to the end of the trip, people have arranged it.

Let's talk about self-help travel, which is the favorite way for young people to travel. Travel time is relatively free, time is relatively long, and there is no limit. You can carry your own backpack, book your own tickets, plan your own route and check your own strategy. This kind of travel is the most free and can cultivate people's ability and experience. You can make your own decisions during the journey and walk as you want. The good and bad of free travel-the advantage of free travel: the advantage of free travel is freedom. You can play as you like, even if you come back from the scenic spot halfway. Disadvantages of free travel: Many people think that the cost of free travel is the lowest, but it is actually wrong. Free travel is definitely the most expensive way to travel. Many friends think it is safe to avoid shopping with a group. In fact, if you don't have an optimal travel route before you travel, you will be more likely to be cheated and spend more money when you arrive at your destination. A friend originally planned to play 10 for a day, but only played for a week and then went home. The reason is that there is no need to prepare for free travel in the early stage. I booked the travel itinerary in advance. When consulting the guidebook, I must say whether it is useful or not. Now there are some long-standing guides on the Internet, which have no reference value. Now the traffic between scenic spots is developing rapidly, and some of them no longer exist. A few days ago, someone asked me where the 5-yuan rice noodle bowl was. I saw the online guide, but I can't find it. I told him that it was a long time ago, and I must be prepared before I travel freely.

Suitable for people with free travel, long travel cycle, free time and certain social experience.

2. How about traveling with a group?

Traveling with a group is very good. The biggest advantage of traveling with a group is convenience. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are all arranged properly, and you only need to pay for it yourself. Generally speaking, due to the characteristics of economies of scale, the cost of group travel will be relative to the cost of individual travelers. Since compared with free travel, the biggest disadvantage is obviously not free travel! Not free! Not free!

Of course, traveling with a group also has risks. Whether the service of tour guides, the quality of peers, semi-compulsory consumption and route arrangement are reasonable. All of them need to be considered, which is largely uncontrollable, but even so, the convenience and safety of group travel are far better than free travel.

Group tours are characterized by many scenic spots. I believe everyone has seen this type of advertisement, such as ten countries in Europe a week, thirty scenic spots in two weeks and so on. Many scenic spots are the preferred marketing methods of tourist routes for many travel agencies at present. After all, consumers like cost-effective products. If a tourist route can cover more scenic spots in a unit time, consumers will feel more value for money and have greater purchasing power.

But I want to emphasize that too many scenic spots are definitely a trap for group tours. Most of the seemingly full trips with group tours can be filled, such as seven days and ten countries. Most of the time on the trip is spent on various means of transportation, and there is only a short time to browse the scenic spots. This is a real experience. Get on the bus, sleep, get off the bus and take pictures.

On the contrary, the advantages of free travel are freedom, customized itinerary, customized accommodation, customized diet, customized work and rest. You can play as much as you want, except for breaking the law and discipline.

But free travel is always accompanied by some uncertain factors, such as transportation, itinerary, weather, hotels and accommodation. These customizable things may be a joke to you. The traffic was delayed, the flight was missed, the exhibition hall time was changed, and the equipment was wet in a sudden rainstorm.

It happened to me, and I was angry every minute. Moreover, if free travel needs to achieve the comfort of high-quality tour groups, the cost will be high. Generally speaking, it is best to travel with a group.

3. Traveling by yourself or with a group?

If you mean being slaughtered, will there be any other expenses besides the tour fee? (except my own shopping expenses) I can tell you for sure: 100% will!

Why are you so sure? Because of my personal experience with my friends, there are many examples to prove it:

First, low-cost groups

There is no doubt about it. Let me tell you one of my own experiences: I once took part in a one-day skiing tour in 79 yuan, saying that it was a chartered car, and there was no compulsory consumption. However, as soon as the tour guide set out, he began to brainwash and recommended self-funded items, such as carriages, ropeways and ski suits for rent. 6 pieces 10 10 yuan, 80-300 yuan each.

Everyone buys this car, doesn't he? Besides, it's really inappropriate to go skiing in a coat. Ski clothes should be rented; Xiang Xue doesn't take a carriage? It's not meaningless So 320 yuan went out.

I thought 79 yuan had worked all day, but 320 yuan spent an extra day.

This experience is good, but I have never seen what I often say now, the tour guide swears; Don't go to the store, don't. Don't buy or sell.

To sum up, the low-cost tour group 100% will cost you at least 3 times the tour fee.

Second, the parity group.

Parity refers to a group tour at a moderate price, not a particularly low price, but a shopping item.

As long as there are shopping items, although there is no need to buy anything, the shopping guide has a bad attitude towards you. You just need to put on a little shoe.

1. It's my own experience: I took my mother to Xi 'an a few years ago and signed up for a group of 2800 yuan/person. There are two shopping stores mentioned in the contract, which are not mandatory; Without food, you can eat snacks by yourself.

Because Xi 'an 'an is a snack city, it's good not to have a group meal. Shop, don't buy anything if we don't have it.

In this way, no meal means that you can only have a group meal and you have to pay 30 yuan. No, they can't eat it, because they take it to a place to eat. There is no place to eat in front of the village and behind the shop, and there is no other place to eat. You can only pay for bad group meals.

As there was no shopping, we were paid to take a taxi back to the hotel on the grounds of traffic jam in the city at night.

On the plane back from Russia, I chatted with an uncle in the group. He said that tickets for scenic spots in Russia are really expensive, and I said that they are not expensive. Compared with domestic, the price is much lower. He said that the ticket to the Kremlin should be around 400 yuan. God, I only bought 500 rubles, which is about 60 yuan. He said that the tour guide would charge RMB per person in 400 yuan and go there if he wanted. You said you came all the way, no matter how expensive.

To sum up, although the contract of Fair Price Group states that consumption is not compulsory, there are countless pits waiting for you, so that you can withdraw the money invisibly.

Full-price group (including the so-called friend price of travel agencies)

1. In July this year, my colleague wanted to go to Turkey, and the internal price given by a friend of the travel agency was 1 1 day 1 1999 yuan. Before you leave, please tell me some points for attention and the main attractions in Turkey.

I asked, is your price all inclusive? You know

As a result, we talked again when we came back. She said that she spent 15000 yuan on this trip, not including her own shopping. Hot air balloon 2000 yuan, paraglider 800 yuan. Some people do not know. T participating in these events, because of their different physical conditions, can not be included in the tour fee. )

This is the internal price that friends know.

We are open for free 14 days, with more than 10,000 points per person.

2. A netizen who has been to Russia also said that he did not walk into the all-inclusive shopping store along the way and did not force him to buy things. But at the destination, we temporarily proposed four self-funded projects, so we don't-we don't have to participate, and we can completely inspect ourselves.

The netizen said that four projects cost 2000 yuan, which is too expensive. It's a pity not to go.

I went to Russia alone, but I really haven't heard of any self-funded projects. I may be ignorant. But will you pay for such a temporary mother?

Summary: All kinds of invisible consumption make you hard to prevent. If people don't force you, they will tell you that these are local characteristics. You can take part if you want, but it doesn't. If you don't care about T., it still has a long way to go after spending so much money. How short is this?

So, you weigh it: if you can, travel with a group. It should be a powerful role to stay as beautiful as jade and finally get away with it.

With the passage of time, learning English and group travel have their own advantages and disadvantages. There are probably the following advantages: first, worry-free, give yourself to the travel agency, provide nanny-style intimate service, and have a tour guide to take care of you, so as to avoid your troubles in actual combat; Second, safety. As a result of traveling with a group, no matter where you travel, whether you eat or live, you have mature and thoughtful experience in actual combat evaluation. Compared with personal freedom, you can avoid many uncertain risks and hidden dangers. Third, the economy. Because there are too many travel agencies and the market competition is fierce, group tours basically belong to the buyer's American market. As a result, the profits of travel agencies are getting thinner and thinner. For example, for a trip to Morocco, the price quoted in the past two days was18,000 to 22,000, and now it is about14,000. It's four o'clock. You can travel with a group. Generally speaking, you can visit the classic scenic spots of your destination. Free travel may not cover everything because of traffic or expenses. Therefore, traveling with a group is the best choice for office workers with less travel experience, especially those with less time. So, what are the unsatisfactory aspects of group tours? There are mainly the following points: first, the autonomy is small, and eating, living and traveling are basically inseparable from the team; Second, shopping malls can be inevitable. No matter whether you buy it or not, you usually have to cooperate with the tour guide to stay at the shopping point for a while. Sometimes, shopping for too long or goods are cheated, which may lead to unhappiness and destroy the mood of tourists. Third, hurry up, because the group travel plan is relatively fixed in advance, often to cater to the hearts of tourists, and the scenic spots are too scattered and not concentrated, leading to a long journey. This is what people often say, get on the bus and sleep, get off the bus and take pictures. Sometimes a scenic spot only gives you ten minutes, and you get tired all the way down. Many people don't even know where they are. What about free travel? Free travel also has advantages and disadvantages. Advantages: more casual, the length of time, food and shelter, the final say. Disadvantages: the safety is not as good as traveling with a group. Especially if you don't, and I don't know the local language, it's usually more troublesome. Therefore, traveling independently, I suggest that it is better to go out with a few like-minded friends. The expenses can be shared equally by AA, saving money, and it is better to take care of each other when there are difficulties.

4. Never travel with a group.

Traveling with a group is to go to a travel agency to sign up for travel activities organized by the travel agency.

That is, the organizer is the club, and the tour guide will show you the route you signed up for.

Ordinary group tour, the team is independent, has its own needs or requirements, is a customized route, and the group tour agency is a tour organized by three or five friends or units.

The difference between group tour and ordinary group tour is that the leader is different.

Strictly speaking, the scope of group tourism is

For example, if you arrive at your destination by plane, you are not interested in tour guide arrangements. You can consult the tour guide. I won't take part in this trip. The tour guide will say that the tour tickets are non-refundable, and then when and where will you meet? You know that.

Relatively speaking, this is more reasonable, because air tickets for travel are generally cheaper, but the arrangement of tourist attractions is not necessarily the best. Choose a half-root group, which is relatively affordable!

5. Zhihu, do you have to travel with a group?

Travel with a group and find a big brand travel agency. The contract is formal, the responsibilities and obligations are clear, the problem can be solved quickly, and then you win. I can't take you around the world.

Tour group is also a new type of tourism. Choice-Travel Group Purchase. Others are all otaku and otaku. When you go out to travel, rock climbing, skiing and enjoy a close contact with nature, you need a tour group to tailor it for you. The tour group is committed to recommending high-discount local boutique tourism services to consumers through group purchase.
