How do tourists safeguard their rights and interests?

Legal analysis:

First, in the choice of tourist destinations, don't just stare at famous scenic spots and hot spots. Pay more attention to the information released by the tourism administration department before traveling, choose some newly developed scenic spots, and take some new combined routes with the group, which will be more rewarding. Second, if you want to get value for money without wasting money, you'd better do it first: find a regular travel agency, take the bus with the prefix "tour" and go to an open scenic spot. Third, learn to sign contracts to protect their own interests from infringement. According to the consumption characteristics that tourism is to pay money first and then go on the road, travel contracts naturally become the amulet of tourists. Tourists must sign a contract with the travel agency before traveling. In the contract, it is also necessary to specify the number of scenic spots and the service standard of tour guides, and clarify the responsibilities and obligations that the travel agency should bear. In the future travel, both parties should fulfill their commitments according to the contract. If the travel agency does not act according to the contract, such as changing the star rating of the hotel, lowering the dining standard, etc., tourists should truly record the facts of their breach of contract and the consequences, so as to complain to the tourism quality supervision and management department in the future.

Legal basis:
