Why is the tourism market mixed?

According to the report jointly released by Ctrip and china tourism academy, in 20 16, the number of outbound tourists in China reached1220,000, and the tourism expenditure reached109.8 billion US dollars. A person in charge of the tourism management department told reporters that compared with the inbound tourism business, the threshold for engaging in outbound tourism is lower. With the rapid growth of China's outbound tourism market in recent years, some small travel agencies have also joined the outbound tourism business, and the whole market is mixed.

Some interviewed insiders pointed out that Southeast Asia, Japan and other places are the most likely destinations for tourists to "bonus hunter". "Like the tourist chaos in China, overseas destination guides also collect kickbacks from shopping stores." An outbound tour leader told reporters that in Thailand, for example, shopping places such as jewelry center, latex center and crocodile skin shop arranged during the group tour will be led by tour guides, but they are all landmark attractions like the Grand Palace, and the tour time is very short.

On the one hand, it is to reduce the time cost and put more tourists' time on shopping and watching performances. On the other hand, some travel agencies will also reduce the cost of capital in all aspects. According to an industry insider, at present, the arrangement of outbound tour group restaurants in the market is generally a group restaurant signed by travel agencies and land agencies. After the travel agency and the restaurant settled together, there were a lot of tricks. The food label may only be less than 20 yuan per capita, and the quality of the food cannot be guaranteed. Moreover, the tour route will not reveal what to eat and where to eat.

The increasingly fierce competition in the outbound travel market has also made some travel agencies take risks and attract tourists by bundling sales and "paying a deposit to travel". In the end, some of them were unsustainable because of business problems, and some simply rolled up the money and left. In this regard, the Beijing Tourism Commission has recently explicitly requested all travel agencies and branches, travel agency outlets and travel websites not to bundle and sell package products with more than two routes, and not to charge tourists for two or more routes at one time.
