What should you pay attention to when opening a travel agency (franchise)?

Travel agencies are not easy to deal with nowadays. You can first find a local big travel agency, such as "China Youth Travel Service" and so on. . . You just use their brand but run your own travel agency (you only need to pay a certain affiliate fee every year, which is also one of the ways to save money). I don’t know what kind of business you mainly want to do when opening a travel agency. Travel agencies are roughly divided into provinces (there are also local agencies) This requires cooperation contracts with various local scenic spots), domestic travel (air + train), and outbound travel (this requires a travel agency with environmental rights to do it, but some small travel agencies are also accepting guests because of lax local management). I personally think you can do domestic travel first, which requires you to find some tour groups (that is, large local travel agencies in the same industry). The local bosses of these travel agencies basically don’t know their last names because they want to protect the interests of small travel agencies~~ They only accept peers, but most large travel agencies will have direct customer departments and peer departments) If a travel agency is opened, many sales agents from tour groups will come to you. To put it bluntly, they want to win you over and hand over the guests to their tour groups. There is no need to confirm, but you must first ensure the quality of the team~ Let me first talk about the work you should do after confirming the group organization. The group organization will send you quotations regularly because the ticket price changes. The tour fee will also change. After giving the quotation, you need to give you the quotation. Add your profit on the basis of "competitor price". In the current market, for individual passengers, basically add 200 to the peer price if it is above 2,000, and add 300 if it is above 3,000. If there is no airport in your city and the guest requires transfer, you also need to add it. Including the transfer fee, you need to have a driver who will pick up and drop off guests at your home for a long time. You can also contact a passenger transportation company~. When the tour group agency gives you a quote, the route name will be included. Some tour groups play word games, so you need to compare the itineraries of different companies (take a certain detail in the Hainan itinerary as an example; "Guan Yudai Beach" For this you can You can ask the tour group whether you can "see from a distance" or "you can go to Yudai Beach to play"). The tour group fees for some tour groups are very low (take East China as an example. The quality of tours in East China varies, and some tour group fees are even lower than the air ticket price. This requires tourists to pay for themselves in the local area and to enter shopping stores. This is a group tour. You must ask beforehand and explain to the guests clearly how much money they need to spend in the local area. Otherwise, it will be more troublesome for tourists to deal with complaints after they come back.) Before leaving the group, you must confirm the travel plan with the tour operator. This is called a "group departure notice" in the industry. It will clearly state the collection time, flight departure time (one thing that comes to mind when talking about airplanes is that the name of the tourist must be accurate, otherwise it will cause great losses if you are unable to board), the return flight time, and a brief itinerary description. When signing a travel contract with the guest, the number of means of transportation and meals (how many breakfasts and how many meals) must be written clearly. Detailed descriptions will be included in the itinerary given to you by the tour group agency. Tourists traveling in a group will also ask for an invoice, and your travel agency needs to handle this themselves. Also, don’t easily agree to give guests local accommodation invoices (too many of them are fake. If there is a problem, you will basically have to be found.) After the group returns, make necessary return visits. This will help you choose a group organization in the future.
