How to buy today's tourism products safely-which tourism products can't be bought?

Tourism has been hit hard this year, so the prices of many tourism products may be lower this year, but you should pay attention when buying scalper products, there may be many pits. So, if you buy it, let's take a look at Bian Xiao.

Those tourist goods are not recommended.

1. Products of overseas websites and overseas travel agencies

In this epidemic, all companies with good returns and contracts are basically domestic companies. For example, in airlines, the handling actions of foreign airlines are obviously much slower than those of domestic airlines, and the policies are not friendly. Agoda, Booking, Airbnb, etc. In terms of refund, it is far less refreshing than Ctrip, Flying Pig and Where to Go.

In China, people respect others, but there is no right or wrong. It's just different choices.

Moreover, overseas travel companies still have a big problem, that is, they are not necessarily bound by domestic laws. To put it bluntly, if they are really prosecuted, they may have to appeal overseas.

If you really want to buy tourism products from overseas companies, my suggestion is that you would rather spend more money at this stage and find a domestic tourism company (or OTA) to help you buy them.

The advantage of this is that if something goes wrong, you can find someone. And you can also ask to handle these problems in accordance with the domestic tourism law and contract law.

2. Non-OTA third-party platforms

At present, there are many hotels in the official WeChat account, or other small and medium-sized third-party platforms are pushing pre-sales. I often meet readers' inquiries in the background and ask me if these products are reliable.

I definitely don't recommend it. The anti-risk factors of these small and medium-sized third-party platforms are too low. To put it bluntly, before McDull and Bula, didn't they all play the mode of low price, pre-sale, refund at any time, and then run away with the money?

I suggest you check the qualifications of these official WeChat accounts and third-party platforms that directly sell products. Many of them are internet companies, and even travel agencies are not qualified.

As a tourist resource, I don't recommend cooperating with these channels. In case of escape, the bad news is the reputation of the resource side.

Speaking of which, I've been buying xxx hotel, but I can't let it stay in the end. How ugly!

At this stage, I only trust OTA such as Ctrip, Flying Pig, Qunar, and the resource side.

3. Non-resource side

This sentence, I actually want to say is the travel agency. Most travel agencies are not resource providers and have no core resources. They just assemble the products of resource providers and have little control over them.

Airlines are resources, and hotel owners are also resources.

For example, if it is a hotel, the sales of the hotel's own channels are often relatively safe, and the policy of returning and changing the visa at most is not very good.

The safest thing must be the official flagship store on the OTA channel. While enjoying the protection brought by OTA, you can't run by endorsement.

In fact, the resource side is also very difficult. It's ok in China, and there's dad behind the airline. However, it is estimated that several foreign airlines will close this time.

4. Pre-sale products such as group tours, "machine wine" and cruise ships.

The epidemic is not over yet, and the tourism regulatory authorities are cautious about when the online sales of tourism products will resume, and the ban will still be implemented in a short time.

A few days ago, a travel agency was doing pre-sale of alcoholic tourism products, which was stopped by the regulatory authorities.

Because no one can predict when the epidemic will be completely over, especially in overseas tourist destinations.

Products such as group tours, "machine wine" and cruise ships will all involve large traffic. At present, a large number of flights are grounded, and it is not known when they will resume. It is risky to sell these tourism products with too much unknown information now.

This is also the reason why the regulatory authorities have not liberalized such tourism products.

At present, I suggest that you can buy hotels, tickets, restaurants, air tickets in advance, and others need to wait and see. In addition, it is recommended that all outbound goods wait and see.

5, the price is too demon

If there is an accident, there is a demon, and if there is an accident, there is a knife. When the price of a tourist commodity deviates too much from the market, you should wipe your face and eyes, and you should verify it in many ways.

Tourism products will also follow the market rules, I

It's okay to be a resource person, but if the third party is selling products with too high a price, there is probably a problem.

: how to buy

1. Familiar with such tools.

These tools can help you see whether the company selling your goods has the qualification of tourism industry, how much registered capital it has, whether the main body is in China, and whether there is a father platform behind it.

2. Don't give money directly to merchants, but give it to a trustworthy platform.

It's simple. If the money is not there, how can the merchants run away? Even if something really happens, the money is on the platform side, and you have to get it back.

The settlement logic with the platform merchants is generally that after you write off, you will settle with the merchants.

I think Ctrip, Zhu Fei and Qunar are trustworthy platforms.

3. Look at the refund and change policy in detail.

At present, only pre-sold tourist goods can be bought, so it is very important to return them at any time, whether they are expired or intact. Another point is the timeliness of refund, which is ignored by everyone. The quick refund triggered by the system will be very different from the manual refund that needs manual operation.

Be sure to read the refund and change policy in detail. It is true that not all places can be refunded at any time, and it is overdue or not damaged. Most refunds require a handling fee.

I've seen it many times. What is written on the page can be refunded at any time, and then there is small print in the small print. There is a 5% handling fee for the refund.

4. What should be trusted most is the large-scale OTA and resource side.

Very simple, Ctrip, Flying Pig, and wherever you go will not run, and the resource side will be safe accordingly. But I can't say anything else. Baicheng is also very big. The father behind Baicheng is Ali. What was the result?

Of course, Baicheng was finally satisfactory. Several of my friends got visas in Baicheng before the epidemic, and all of them gave their contacts a refund.

Again, there will be a bunch of travel specials this year, but you must keep your eyes open.
