Who pays the travel insurance?

What impact does the promulgation of the Tourism Law have on tourism shopping?

1. As far as the whole tourism industry is concerned, the designated shopping spots of travel agencies have the greatest influence.

Shopping spots attached to scenic spots have little influence, while shopping spots completely attached to tour groups have great influence. This kind of shopping spot is often located in the middle of two scenic spots, which is remote and completely driven by tour groups. The promulgation of the new Tourism Law will inevitably lead to the survival of most people.

For many tour guides (non-scenic tour guides and overseas tour leaders), the introduction of the new tourism law is really bad news.

Travel agencies shall conclude labor contracts with the tour guides they employ, pay labor remuneration and pay social insurance premiums according to law. Where a travel agency temporarily hires a tour guide to provide services for tourists, it shall pay the tour guide the tour guide service fee stipulated in the third paragraph of Article 60 of this Law in full. Where a travel agency arranges a tour guide to provide services for group travel, it shall not require the tour guide to pay in advance or charge any fees to the tour guide.

3. As far as travel agencies are concerned, there are two aspects that have the greatest influence:

First, the era of affiliation has passed.

Thirtieth travel agencies shall not lease, lend or illegally transfer the business license of travel agencies in other forms.

The problem of affiliation is the most deformed and serious problem in the travel agency industry. It seems that this time, it is really a knife, and the affiliation has been wandering on the edge of the rules. However, with the promulgation of the new Tourism Law, the industry has formed a kind of * * * knowledge: the link is dead.

If you don't know what the affiliation is, please search for it yourself. The existence of affiliation is a question of entry threshold for travel agencies. The cost of calling is only tens of thousands a year, while the registered travel agency needs hundreds of thousands.

The registered capital of the international travel agency shall not be less than RMB 654.38+RMB 500,000; The registered capital of domestic travel agencies shall not be less than 300,000 yuan.

Although the method of linking is dead, it is just a matter of eating and standing and kneeling. In order to expand the market and pursue benefits, travel agencies will certainly recruit a lot and set up branches. Although deprived of the qualification of an independent delegation, those businessmen will definitely play the rules well and upgrade the field army to a regular army. After all, it is too wide to completely rectify the phenomenon of affiliation.

Second, the era of pure play has arrived.

Travel agencies shall not organize tourism activities at unreasonably low prices, induce or deceive tourists, and obtain illegitimate interests such as kickbacks by arranging shopping or paying for other tourism projects.

Pure play is a very simple concept, which was put forward long ago, but with the promulgation of the new tourism law, the real era of pure play has not arrived.

Of course, I'm not sure if it will be called by any other name, but the low-cost group is dead and the increase in tour fees is well known. There will be more and more tour groups that don't shop or enter the store. It's time to spell quality first and then price.

Three. /kloc-the tourism law was formally implemented in June, 2000. According to the law, travel agencies are not allowed to designate specific shopping places or arrange other paid tours. A number of travel agencies in Beijing said that before the detailed rules for the implementation of the Tourism Law were promulgated, they temporarily canceled the shopping link in a "one size fits all" way.

This year's "Eleventh" is the first test of the tourism market by the Tourism Law. The reporter visited many travel agency stores in Beijing for many days, and the prices of almost all routes with group tours have been adjusted, with the largest increase exceeding 100%.

Eleven focus on investigating "zero negative tour fee" and so on.

On the 27th, the relevant person in charge of the National Tourism Administration said that during the National Day, the national tourism department will send more than 4,000 people to make an unannounced visit to the implementation of the Tourism Law. Focus on investigating and dealing with ten major problems, such as "travel agency operating without a license, zero negative tour fee", "forced and disguised forced consumption", "tour guide leader taking private business" and "tour guide leader failing to inform tourism civilized behavior norms". Focus on supervision and inspection in Beijing, Chongqing and Shanghai. According to its introduction, after the National Day holiday, a series of typical cases will be launched according to the inspection situation to further clarify the role of tourism law in industry supervision.

Group offers have generally increased by 20% to 30%.

After the "Eleventh" group tour, prices generally rose. The reporter visited a number of travel agency stores for several days in a row, and the prices of almost all routes have been adjusted, among which Southeast Asia, Taiwan Province Province, Hongkong and other outbound destinations have the largest adjustment. The biggest increase is over 100%, and the average increase is about 20% to 30%.

Take the 8-day tour in Taiwan Province Province as an example, the quotation of a private travel agency was adjusted from 4,000 yuan in early September to more than 7,000 yuan. The increase of other travel agencies on this line ranges from 1.500 yuan in 600 yuan.

"Our group will be full in September, and the group starting with 10 has received less than 20 guests so far." Xiao Lv, a shop assistant, told reporters that although the quotation has risen obviously, it is a good thing for tourists. You don't have to pay more to go abroad, and you don't have to enter the store. There are many attractions to visit.

According to the store salesman of Zhongxin Tourism, routes such as South Korea and Thailand are more expensive than before. "The price increase is not as bad as everyone thinks. In fact, it includes fees previously collected overseas, such as tickets and tips. " He took a ten-day trip to three European countries as an example. "Our price adjustment this time includes tickets for the Louvre and Versailles."

The travel agency temporarily canceled the shopping link.

After the promulgation of the Tourism Law, can tour groups still shop? A number of travel agencies said that at the beginning of the implementation of the Tourism Law, most travel agencies chose to "refuse to shop" and there were no shopping malls or outlets in their travel itinerary. "Although the Tourism Law says that you can shop conditionally, no one can tell until it falls on paper." The relevant person in charge of Haitao Tourism Marketing Department said.

"June 5438+ 10 This arrangement is relatively conservative, and it will definitely depend on market adjustment in the end." The person in charge of Zhongxin Tourism said.

Affect travel agencies: increase tourists' free time

"According to the situation, we will adjust the route, such as increasing some free time or arranging more semi-self-help products, so that tourists can shop by themselves." In a brigade
