What is the difference between Ctrip's free travel and team tour?

1. Free travel: a new way of travel. Travel agencies arrange accommodation and transportation, but free travel is not accompanied by a tour guide, and passengers also arrange their own meals.

2. Team Tour: You must join a group, meet at a designated place, and follow the tour guide all the way.

Matters needing attention in choosing a travel agency

1, travel agency qualification: pay attention to the business scope of travelers, international agencies or domestic agencies;

2. Travel agency background: pay attention to the main business projects and choose strong and professional ones.

3. Itinerary: Pay attention to whether the itinerary is detailed, including accommodation, catering and scenic spots.

4. Shopping: Confirm whether there is compulsory shopping.

5. Details of scenic spots: We should discuss the details of the tour carefully with the travel agency, such as dining standards, car standards and hotel grades, and make it clear which items are not included in the tour fare.

Travel agencies can buy group accident insurance.

Personal travel accident insurance over 80 years old is hard to buy, so how to buy a tour group organized by a travel agency?

According to the relevant provisions of the Tourism Law, travel agencies must buy travel agency liability insurance for tourists and advise customers to buy personal accident insurance for tourists. In this regard, the reporter consulted the travel agency's regulations on insuring travel accident insurance for the elderly over 75 years old. Jiahua tourism staff introduced that unlike travel agency liability insurance, travel accident insurance is purchased voluntarily by individual citizens to ensure the personal travel safety of citizens. Under normal circumstances, you need to pay more for purchases over 75 years old.

Some insiders said that at present, all insurance companies have unwritten rules. For the elderly over 65 years old, the same premium and insurance amount should be halved. For example, if you buy an insurance policy for 10 yuan, the coverage will be 200,000 yuan, while the coverage for the elderly over 65 is only 65,438+10,000 yuan.

In addition, groups can buy accident insurance together if they are not individuals. According to the relevant staff of Jiang Tai Insurance, a domestic professional travel insurance brokerage company, Jiang Tai Insurance provides group accident insurance in addition to travel agency liability insurance. "Travel agencies can buy group accident insurance, and enterprises, units and groups can also buy it collectively. They only need to upload relevant business licenses and other information according to the process and buy them collectively. " The staff member said that group accident insurance has no restrictions on specific ages.

Finally, the elderly readers who travel with the group are specially reminded that if the travel agency collects the "age surcharge" from the elderly, consumers can complain directly to the tourism authorities, and the National Tourism Administration explicitly prohibits the appearance of the "age surcharge".
