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

Which is better, traveling with a group or traveling with a group? According to my experience in travel agencies for more than ten years, traveling with a group has become an indisputable choice for everyone. The special advantages are: first, strong security; Second, save money. But there are also shortcomings: first, the movement is uncomfortable; Second, the tour is not flexible. So now it is derived that I would rather find a few people to travel with than choose a travel agency to travel with a group. There is actually a misunderstanding. Travel agencies are not the only way to travel with a group. In addition to group travel, there are many ways to travel. For example: individual tours, self-help tours, etc. It's better than your own way of traveling mentioned above.

Individual tourism refers to a kind of tourism when the number of tourists can't meet the requirements of group tourism. Travel agencies book round-trip air tickets, air tickets or pick-up and drop-off station services for tourists according to the routes and scenic spots chosen by tourists; When tourists pass through every city on the way, the local travel agency is responsible for reception and provides accommodation, tourist vehicles, scenic spots tickets and tour guide services. Transfer to the next city or tourist area, reserve train tickets, plane tickets and pick-up station services for tourists in advance.

This travel mode is convenient for travel agencies to communicate with local travel agencies and can ensure the safety of tourists and travel itinerary. Disadvantages: the cost is slightly higher than that of a group tour.

Self-help tourism refers to the way that tourists can choose the number of days, time, tourist routes, scenic spots and means of transportation independently during the tourism process. In this kind of travel, the travel agency is only responsible for providing accommodation and round-trip train tickets or air tickets. All other matters are the personal responsibility.

This kind of travel is flexible and free, and you can master the length of time in the tourist destination. However, the travel agency at the departure point can't contact the travel agency on the ground, so it is difficult for tourists to master the itinerary and the safety performance is poor.

In my opinion, you'd better sign a contract with a travel agency and choose a personal tour, because it's safe and all the travel services can be in place. It may be less than the cost of traveling with a group!
