Is it better to travel with a group or go by yourself?

With the development of China people's economy, people's living standards have been improved in an all-round way, and people are pursuing more spiritual exploration and development, among which tourism has become an interactive life experience that people are keen on. So now, is it better to travel with a group or alone?

Traveling with a group is also tiring, and traveling without a group is also a little tiring. How to choose depends on the needs of individuals and groups.

Let's talk about what is suitable for joining the group first.

1. There is not enough time, and there is not much time lost in the journey. Then such people are suitable for group travel. The travel time of the main team is tight, and the main attractions can be visited with a tour guide. There is insurance, meals and accommodation are arranged, and the driving connection between the middle attractions is also in place, especially between the accommodation and the attractions. It is quite common that you can't find a good house or taxi during the rush hour.

2. The scenic spots are remote and far away from the urban area, so the traffic can't reach them. For example, Shilin is 2 hours' drive from Kunming, and there is no direct public transportation. If you don't rent a car, you must join a group. For example, in the Three Gorges, there are few basic self-help tours.

3. I don't know how to find the route, book hotels, attractions, etc. And you have to wait a long time, you are easy to be deceived, and you have to wait for local inquiries.

4. Steep scenic spots and other scenic spots must be led by local tour guides, otherwise their lives will be in danger, so there are still many such missing persons.

5. outbound travel, generally speaking, does not understand the local customs and language, and generally chooses to travel with a group.

Then, based on the above problems, we generally pursue the quality of play, and the time is not limited. Air tickets, train tickets, routes and accommodation can be solved by themselves, and self-help tours can be used. For example, I have to get up early and take photos at night. For example, I have to stay at the seaside for a few more days. For example, I have to wander around big cities for a few more days. I must be free.

I feel this is a misunderstanding. It seems that traveling with a group will be trapped by a black tour guide, but you can't play with a group. I seriously disagree with this statement.

First of all, why do you want to travel with a group?

Traveling with a group has many advantages, especially overseas travel. If you have no experience and are not familiar with some processes of overseas travel, you must join the group. Its advantage is that the travel agency arranges all the contents of visa, transportation and accommodation for you, so you don't have to spend energy and time studying. Of course, some friends are particularly good at arranging free travel, and will regard this process as part of the tour and have the mood and leisure to design it. This is another situation.

However, it must be noted that it is necessary to examine the reputation of travel agencies, and it is best to listen to the evaluation, or some friends have participated in the group of this club, and their reputation is better. In addition, if you want to join a quality group, the average daily travel abroad should reach about 1 000 yuan, and there are generally several self-funded projects. Be sure not to join a particularly cheap group.

The advantage of traveling with a group is that there is a guide, which can not only arrange the itinerary, but also explain it. You can watch and listen to the explanation while walking.

When I went to Europe, my guide was a knowledgeable guide. He told us many stories along the way, including European life, history, religion and so on, which benefited people a lot. Our tour guide to Egypt is also very dedicated, very hard to explain to us, and very emotional about history and customs; I have participated in many tour groups, and every time I became friends with the tour guide, I also helped introduce some friends to join their tour groups, which felt very good.

Why do you say that you are always being blacked out?

I have been to more than 20 countries, mostly with group tours and semi-self-help tours. I have arranged transportation and accommodation for my trip, and I feel very relieved to have a tour guide.

I have never met the legendary black tour guide, because I signed up for a high-quality tour group, and I will never sign up for a tour group with particularly low consumption, because that kind of tour group looks cheap, but there are many shopping shops, many self-funded projects, and it is expensive in the end, which makes people feel uncomfortable or "pit".

Some pits are the cause of the travel agency, and some pits are the problem of the travel agency itself, or greedy for cheap, or blindly believe. Now the network information is so developed that you can draw a conclusion by checking it online.

For example, in Xiang Xue, someone was cheated on spending 2 18 before, and it has been widely circulated on the Internet. But if you don't learn a lesson and join such a group, you are jumping into a pit. However, this price has been banned now and needs to be managed by the whole society.

Is that why you're not going?

It is a misunderstanding to say "you won't go by yourself". We're all adults. Who won't go by themselves? What is the role of travel agencies?

It is to provide convenience for everyone to travel and act as an intermediate service. This social division of labor was born at the request of the movement, because many people like to travel carefree according to the quality routes provided by travel agencies.

Since traveling is a kind of relaxation, why not leave the whole process to the travel agency?

In fact, this fee is cheaper than free travel, because the transportation, accommodation and tickets of travel agencies are all optimistic in the industry. The inconvenient aspect is that the travel agency's time limit is rigid and inflexible, but the travel society goes to more scenic spots at the same time. When a travel team comes down, everyone becomes friends and has a lot of useful exchanges.

Again, whether traveling with a group or traveling alone, each has its own advantages, and everyone's hobbies are different. If you are a veteran traveler, have a bulging pocket, or want to travel badly, you'd better travel freely if you have enough time; Otherwise, joining a tour group is also a good choice, especially for friends who like photography. You will gain more by joining a photography team, which is completely independent and sometimes troublesome.

You don't have to travel with a group. It is necessary for middle-aged and elderly people to join a group, but young people will lose a lot of fun.

The reason why there are tour groups is that on the one hand, it can save money, just follow the guide, which is more worry-free. On the other hand, a large number of middle-aged and elderly people have the need to go out. Due to security problems, joining the group is a necessary condition.

But now that the Internet is so developed, where do you want to search? There are so many kinds of information and strategies. Before you travel, you can book round-trip air tickets and accommodation on your mobile phone, and you can also book tickets for scenic spots and even meals.

Therefore, it is very simple for young people to travel. As long as they have money, they can start at any time. Tourism has six elements, namely, eating, living, traveling, traveling, shopping and entertainment. Now a mobile phone can be booked in advance. Why do you want to sign up for a tour?

Moreover, many low-cost groups force tourists to spend, and many times traveling with a group does not necessarily save money. So many travel agencies will close down in the future. Only by combining online and offline, serving middle-aged and elderly people and organizing overseas tours can such travel agencies develop for a long time.

Therefore, there is no need to travel with a group. You can freely arrange your own route and change your travel route according to your mood. Why do you have to follow the guide all day?
