Visitors should see the difference between finding a travel agency and making their own arrangements.

Nowadays, more and more people don't go out to play with travel agencies, but choose outdoor or go on road trip channels, thinking that traveling with travel agencies is too tense and boring. Coupled with the induction of some black travel agencies and black tour guides, tourists are very distrustful of travel agencies, which makes regular travel agencies very wronged. After all, those are a minority, so don't be blind. Here, I want to give you a correct analysis of the difference between travel agencies and outdoor tourism (several key directions), and I hope more people can realize that the profit model of travel agencies is not what you think. Of course, the development of travel agencies will not disappear in the future because the country attaches great importance to the development of travel agencies.

One: the money earned by travel agencies is not tourists' money, but third party's.

Many people think that the money earned by travel agencies belongs to tourists. Many tour guides, many travel agencies and so on have instilled this idea into their brains, leading to wrong ideas and wrong behaviors. In fact, the money earned by travel agencies belongs to third parties. What is a third party? It's a scenic spot, a hotel, a hotel, a motorcade and so on. If you don't understand, let me give you an example.

1, one ticket for Chimelong Wildlife Park, one ticket for 250 yuan. Your friend travels from Beijing to Guangzhou, and it will cost 250 yuan to buy your ticket. But if you find a regular travel agency, I will give it to you 180 yuan. Will you? I'm sure you will. Tell me, have you lost anything? Tickets are still the same, and so are the scenic spots. In other words, you saved 70 yuan by looking for a travel agency, right? Since I saved 30 yuan, why should I blame the travel agency?

Your friend came to Guangzhou to see you and asked you to help book a four-star hotel. Hotel listing 1.200 yuan/room. If you book it yourself, the hotel will give you a discount of 1000 yuan. If you let our travel agency book 700 yuan for you, will you let me book it for you? I'll book 700 yuan for you, and you can book it yourself 1000 yuan. I saved 300 yuan for you. Did you lose anything? Don't! You are happy, I am happy, and the hotel is happy. A service is like this, how about multi-directional service? So it is! You go to Hainan to bask in the sun, Lijiang to have an affair, Qingdao to drink beer, eat, drink and be merry, and so on. How much can the travel agency save you if you add up each item? Our travel agency has agreements with hotels, hotels, motorcades and scenic spots. And they can all get the agreed price. If you look for a travel agency, it will only give you a cheap one, not an expensive one. If the hotel is listed at 1 000 yuan and the travel agency gives you 1, 200 yuan, then the travel agency is too "black" and unorthodox. Then you should ask, what about the profit of the travel agency? Serve the people. Really? I can tell you euphemistically that the travel agency gives tourists preferential prices rather than reserve prices, that is to say, hotels, hotel scenic spots and other third parties give travel agencies lower prices, so look! So you don't need to know what the reserve price is. If you must know what the reserve price is, the travel agency will not give you the reserve price. Please remember that finding a travel agency means saving money, so the core service purpose of a travel agency is to "save travel expenses for tourists and expenses for corporate meetings and annual meetings".

Two: Travel agencies pursue safety first and outdoor enjoyment first.

Some people say that travel agencies are cheap, but the itinerary is too tight and monotonous, which is not as colorful as outdoor travel. Yes, because of the nature of travel agencies, why? Because regular travel agencies have invested 20- 1.2 million in the tourism bureau, travel agencies basically have to bear great risks during the safety period, so all activities should be simple and safe. If there is an unsafe factor in one link, the travel agency will be in trouble. Outdoor has nothing to do with other organizations, there is no deposit, no one is in charge, it is a non-governmental organization, regardless of safety or insecurity. For example, the travel agency charges 80 yuan for a one-day hot spring tour and 80 yuan for an outdoor tour, so the risk of 80 yuan in the travel agency is higher than that in the outdoor, and the cost is also higher. The travel agency just wants to bring it safely to you and bring it back. There won't be too many activities and content, because the more content, the higher the risk. Outdoor donkey head will organize you to arrange a barbecue, blind date, rock climbing and so on. Then you will ask, why don't travel agencies dare? If the travel agency arranges a barbecue and someone has a bad stomach, the travel society will pay for it. What if it's a donkey's head Will you get compensation? With what compensation? Go to the scenic spot to play rock climbing competition, and the travel agency will be responsible for the problem. Will the outdoor donkey head be responsible? If you go out with a tour group, you will find that the car, food and accommodation arranged by regular travel agencies are star-rated and standardized, because if there are any problems, they are all protected by law. Some people may ask, if you buy insurance outdoors, you have to pay compensation. Yes, the insurance bought outdoors is the same as the accident insurance of the travel agency, but does the third party of the travel agency compensate outdoors? What is third-party compensation? That is, scenic spot compensation, vehicle compensation and so on.

First of all, why is the cost of travel agencies at the same price high? It's also a car. For example, a car booked by a travel agency, one day in Longtan Gorge 1000. Maybe the outdoor price is 800. You will ask, why? If you think about regular vehicles, there are procedures, and the cost is definitely high and the safety factor is high. What about other vehicles? I won't talk about the car, I'll think for myself. Our travel agency has also cooperated with some outdoor organizations to let us book cars and tickets. Because our car reservation has always been 100-200 yuan, the outdoor donkey head is too expensive. We book our own car, which is 200 yuan cheaper-300 yuan. Let's book it for us, but we dare not decide, because regular travel agencies will not take risks because of some petty profits. Therefore, our travel agency has signed formal agreements with various teams, which are all confirmed by the company. No matter how good the car is, no matter how professional and cheap the driver is, we don't need it.

Third, travel agencies, outdoor and self-help tours have their own advantages and are suitable for different groups of people.

Who are suitable for traveling with travel agencies? If you are signing up for your parents to travel, please choose a travel agency. If you are a person who doesn't go out often, choose a travel agency. If you are a reluctant person, then choose a travel agency. The benefits that travel agencies give you are safety, worry-free and trouble-free. Who is suitable for outdoor travel? If you are a cheerful and exciting person, you can choose outdoor. If you travel a lot and like to arrange everything yourself, choose outdoor or free travel. People with more life insurance can also choose outdoor or go on road trip. Who is more suitable for self-help tour or go on road trip? Personally, I think Hebai is the first choice for self-help tours and go on road trip, because they are not short of money, hehe!
