Introduction of Travel Agency-Common technical terms or terms: "package tour"

Travel agencies, land agencies and suppliers are the basic supply chain relationships in the travel agency industry.

Traditionally, package travel agencies are travel agencies that sign contracts with tourists when they sign up. Travel agencies, also known as "agents" and "retailers", refer to travel agencies that directly sell tourism products to tourists. Compared with producers and suppliers, they are only in the final stage of tourism product circulation; It is a travel agency that directly provides consulting services, information transmission and sales services for tourists. In terms of location, time and service, it is a bridge between producers, suppliers and tourists who are convenient for tourists and plays an important role in distribution channels.

Travel agencies usually sell two kinds of tourism products, one is self-organized products, which means that travel agencies make and organize tourism products by themselves to attract tourists; Second, scattered group products, that is, the agency sells tourism products produced and organized by other travel agencies.

In recent years, the development of tour groups tends to diversify products due to tourists' pursuit of purchasing efficiency and convenience. In order to alleviate the financial pressure and transfer security risks, most tour groups basically lose their production capacity and mainly sell scattered tour groups, which is also the main reason for the homogenization of travel agency products.

Generally speaking, most tour groups are like convenience stores facing the street. Although the business area is small and there are few people, there are various kinds of bread, drinks and daily necessities sold, but the products are not produced by themselves, but provided by suppliers or land agencies, and the service is finally fulfilled.
