How to buy tourism products safely this year-which tourism products can't be bought?

The tourism industry has been hit hard this year, so the prices of many tourism products may be lower this year, but you should pay attention when buying cattle products, and there may be many pits. So let's take a look at it with Xiaobian, if you buy it. It is not recommended to buy those tourist goods

1. Products from overseas websites and overseas travel agencies

In this epidemic, those who returned and changed their visas performed well were basically domestic companies. For example, in the airline company, the handling action of foreign airlines is obviously much slower than that of domestic airlines, and the policy is not friendly. Agoda, Booking and Airbnb are far less refreshing than Ctrip, Flying Pig and where to go.

China people talk about human feelings, while crooked nuts talk about contracts. There is no right or wrong, but they just choose different ones.

moreover, there is another big problem for overseas travel companies, that is, they are not necessarily bound by domestic laws. If you say something unpleasant, if you really sue them, you may have to appeal abroad.

if you really want to buy travel products from overseas companies, my suggestion is that at this stage, you'd rather spend more money and find a domestic travel company (or OTA) to buy them for you.

the advantage of this is that if something goes wrong, you can find someone. And you can also ask to deal with these problems in accordance with the domestic tourism law and contract law.

2. Non-OTA third-party platforms

At present, there are many hotels in WeChat official account or other small and medium-sized third-party platforms that are promoting pre-sales. I often meet readers' inquiries backstage and ask me if these goods are reliable.

I definitely don't recommend it. The anti-risk factors of these small and medium-sized third-party platforms are too low. To put it bluntly, didn't McDull and Bula play the mode of low price, pre-sale, refundable at any time, and then run away with the money?

I suggest that you check the qualifications of these WeChat official account and third-party platforms that directly sell products. Many of them are Internet companies and don't even have the qualifications of travel agencies.

as a travel resource, I don't recommend cooperating with these channels. In case of running away, the reputation of the resource will be bad.

people say that I always bought xxx hotels, but in the end I was not allowed to stay. How awful.

at this stage, I only trust the OTA of Ctrip, Feizhu, Qunar and the resources.

3. Non-resource party

What I actually want to say is the travel agency. Most travel agencies are not resource providers and have no core resources. They just assemble the products of the resource providers and have little control over the resource providers.

the airline company is the resource party, and the hotel owner is also the resource party.

for example, if it's a hotel, the sales through the hotel's own channels are often relatively safe, and the policy of returning and changing the visa at most is not very good.

the safest thing must be the official flagship store on the OTA channel. While enjoying the guarantee brought by OTA, it also speaks for itself and cannot run away.

In fact, the resource side is also very difficult, and it's ok in China. There are fathers behind the airline company. However, it is estimated that several foreign airlines will close down this time.

4. The epidemic situation of pre-sale products such as group tours, "machine+wine" and cruise ships

is not over yet, so at present, the tourism regulatory authorities are cautious about when the online sales of tourism products will resume, and will still implement the ban in a short time.

a few days ago, a travel agency was doing the pre-sale of airplane and alcohol travel goods, and it was stopped by the regulatory authorities.

Because no one can predict when the epidemic will be completely over, especially in overseas travel destinations.

Group tours, "airplane+wine", cruise ships and other products will all involve heavy traffic. At present, there are many flights grounded, and it is unknown when they will resume. Now it is extremely risky to sell these travel products with too much unknown information.

this is also the reason why the regulatory authorities have never let go of this kind of travel products.

at present, I suggest buying hotels, tickets, catering and air tickets, and others need to wait and see. In addition, all outbound goods, suggestions are also waiting to see.

5, the price is too demon

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and if someone goes wrong, there must be a knife. When the price of a travel commodity deviates too much from the market, you should wipe your eyes well and verify it in many ways.

tourism products will also conform to the market rules, and it is impossible to deviate from the market pricing too much.

I'm a good resource. If a third party is selling products with exorbitant prices, there are probably problems. How to buy

1. Be familiar with such tools as Eye Check and Enterprise Check

These tools can help you to see clearly whether the company that sells your goods has the qualification of travel industry, how much registered capital it has, whether the subject is in China or not, and whether there is a dad platform behind it.

2. Don't give money directly to the merchants, but give it to a trustworthy platform.

It's very simple. If the money is not here, how can the merchants run away? Even if there is a problem, the money is here on the platform, and you have to come back.

generally, the settlement logic of the platform and the merchant will not be settled with the merchant until you write it off.

I think Ctrip, Feizhu (Alipay) and Qunar are all trustworthy platforms and deserve to be entrusted.

3. See the policy of returning and changing the visa in detail

At present, only pre-sale travel goods can be purchased, so it is very important to return them at any time, after expiration and without loss. Another point is the timeliness of refund that is ignored by everyone. There will be a great difference in user experience between the quick refund triggered by the system and the manual refund that requires manual operation.

be sure to read the policy of returning and changing the visa in detail. It's true that not all places can return it at any time, after it expires, and it's lossless. Most refunds require a handling fee.

I've seen it many times. It says on the page that you can get a refund at any time, and then there is fine print in the fine print. There is a 5% handling fee for the refund.

4. The most trustworthy thing is the large-scale OTA, and the resource side

is very simple. Ctrip, Flying Pig, where to go will not run away, and the resource side will be safe accordingly. But I dare not say anything else. Baicheng is also very big. The father behind Baicheng is still Ali. What is the result?

Of course, the final closing of Baicheng was well done. Several of my friends took their visas in Baicheng before the epidemic, and all of them were refunded.

Again, there will be a bunch of travel specials this year, but you must keep your eyes open.

if you are not sure about anything, you can consult me backstage at any time.
