How to sign a tourism electronic contract

There are two main types of tourism electronic contracts, one is OTA platform (such as Ctrip. Where to go), and offline travel agencies.

OTA online travel platform:

After the platform integrates the electronic signing function, visitors can choose their travel routes online through registration and authentication. After the route is selected, the platform can automatically generate a travel service agreement for tourists to confirm. After confirmation, visitors and the platform can sign or seal the contract online by calling the electronic signing interface of the contract lock. The general process is as follows:

Offline travel agency stores:

The signing and management of tourism contracts can be completed through the third-party electronic contract platform.

In the first step, the travel agency chooses a reliable third-party platform, registers and authenticates (it is very important to prove that you are you in the network environment), and makes the electronic seal and electronic signature of the travel agency.

Step 2: Upload the document to be signed, fill in the customer's name and mobile phone number and send it (the signing order of both parties can be customized).

Step 3: The customer receives the short message containing the signature link on the mobile phone short message, authenticates the link according to the page prompts, generates a handwritten electronic signature and signs it, and is finished!

An electronic travel contract must meet the two characteristics of "the signer has been authenticated by his real name" and "has a reliable electronic signature" in order to have the same legal effect as a paper travel contract.

From the legal point of view, the signed tourism electronic contract needs judicial expertise to determine whether it can be adopted as electronic evidence.

Therefore, when signing a tourism electronic contract, we must use electronic signature technology instead of simple "confirmation" or watermarking, which is not only easy to be tampered with, but also has no legal effect. Reliable electronic signature is the core of effective electronic contract, and it is also the continuous improvement of the existing tourism electronic contract, because only in this way can the legitimate rights and interests of both parties be guaranteed.
