Is it better to travel in a group or on your own?

Let me analyze this for you, and you can decide which one is better. Personally, I prefer group tours.

Let’s talk about personal travel first.

The biggest advantage of personal travel is freedom. You can go when you want, go to whichever scenic spot you want first, and you can do whatever you want with food, clothing, housing, and transportation, but the disadvantages are also very obvious. Yes, although you are free, your money is not so free. The biggest disadvantage of self-driving travel is that you need to pay for everything here. Of course, you rich people can ignore this.

Now let’s focus on the benefits of joining a group.

The first advantage of joining a tour group: the route is fixed.

There is no need to consider the travel route, because this has been decided in advance. Unless there are special circumstances and weather conditions, the tour guide will not change the tourist attractions. As long as we choose the travel route ourselves, in fact, the tour will be It's also very good to get up. Although the time may not be so free, in general, it is enough to have visited various tourist attractions, and the purpose of travel has been achieved.

The second benefit: save money.

The cost of a "self-driving tour" is often many times that of a group tour, and at the same time, you are subject to more cowardice from out-of-town hotels, scenic spots, shopping spots, etc. The transportation costs, attraction fares, and room rates for a single person are not the same as the prices for thousands of passengers from travel agencies. Even if you are traveling by car, it is best to book a room, tickets, and plan your itinerary through a travel agency. At the same time, the travel agency can help provide itinerary design, safety control, etc. Otherwise, drive to the scenic spot and then look for a hotel. Once you find the hotel, you can bargain. Not to mention that there may not be a room available during the Golden Week, and even if there are many, you will only get ripped off.

The third benefit: save time.

Some friends have said that I am free to go out by myself without anyone having to worry about me. But what if you can’t come back when the time comes? What if there is no hotel when it’s time to go to bed? What should I do if there is no restaurant when it’s time to eat? Not only is the hotel price expensive, what should I do if it is full? If the trip is delayed, many subsequent arrangements will be affected, and most of the time may be spent looking for a hotel. When you find a hotel, you have to spend time bargaining, leaving less time for real fun.

The fourth benefit: safety guarantee.

Travel agencies have business cooperation relationships with each other, and they also have a good understanding of the local conditions on the spot. They have made professional inspections of the vehicles, road conditions, terrain, and places where unsafe factors may occur in each link. Step on the line. In addition, in order to protect the interests of tourists, travel agencies generally pay all-round travel insurance premiums to insurance companies on behalf of tourists during the trip; travel teams are organized actions, covering food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping, entertainment, etc. There are arrangements to reduce the troubles and mistakes caused by handling things by yourself but not being familiar with the local conditions, which invisibly reduces many unsafe factors.

Let’s just talk about these benefits. It is inevitable to go shopping with a group. You don’t have to worry about forced consumption. There are not so many. If there are any, you can just call the police directly. Travel agencies are long-term Buying and selling, only fools do this. I went to Beidaihe District last year and bought a bunch of seawater pearls for more than 200 points from a purchasing place. I also bought a box of shrimp paste (I personally like to eat it anyway, the taste is good), always* **The consumption was only a little over 300. I felt pretty good about what I bought. The tour guide who was not spending money in the same car didn’t say anything. If you like it, you can just buy some if you don’t like it and bring it here.
