Advantages and disadvantages of group tour for the elderly.

With the development of economy and society and the improvement of people's living standards, people are not only satisfied with food, clothing, housing and transportation, but also begin to pursue spiritual enjoyment. Therefore, tourism, as a way to enjoy the body and mind, has been welcomed by people of all ages.

For people, traveling can not only relax, but also increase their knowledge and broaden their horizons. Nowadays, tourism has become a trend, and tourism has also become the third industry to promote the economic development of many countries, and even some countries regard tourism as a pillar industry.

However, where there is development, there is competition, and the vigorous development of tourism will inevitably bring competition in the industry. Various tour groups have mushroomed. In order to attract tourists' attention, they have launched various low-cost tour groups, but the quality of these tour groups is mixed.

Some unscrupulous businessmen set the price of tour groups very low, but earned kickbacks from tourists on the way. According to big data, there are three main groups of tourists in China, they are post-80s, post-90s and post-00s, but in recent years, the elderly have gradually joined the pace of tourism.

Most of the elderly who travel are people with retirement wages. They have a lot of leisure time to do after retirement. Some elderly people use their leisure time to travel because they lack the company of their children. Some tour groups have taken a fancy to the opportunities for the elderly to travel and launched some cheap group tours to attract the attention of the elderly.

In order to relieve boredom, most elderly people have signed up for various travel packages for the elderly. Some of these packages even claim that they can take you to a place where you can eat and live. Many elderly people fall into this trap.

Such low-cost tour groups will inevitably arouse many people's doubts, because whether traveling out of the province or in the province, the cost of vehicle oil or train oil alone will reach several hundred yuan, so how do these low-cost tour groups make money?

In fact, the packages offered by these low-priced elderly tour groups are generally around three days. During these three days, the tour group will take these old people to visit some scenic spots. Among these scenic spots, there are many places where shopping and consumption are needed. This is the time when these enterprises make money.

Generally speaking, tour groups will reach certain cooperation with merchants in shopping places. They earn the middle price difference by enticing the elderly to shop. Things sold in these shopping places are generally very expensive, and even some tour guides will force the elderly to shop. If they don't shop, these tour guides may severely reprimand the elderly on the next trip.

Old-age fever is generally confused by some high-priced health care products and nutrients. Coupled with the glib mouth of the tour guide, some simple old people started shopping crazily, so they will spend some unexpected money on this trip, and they may not find themselves cheated until the old people come home.

This is why some tour groups have introduced low-cost package tours for the elderly, because traveling with the elderly is not the main task at all. What is important is how to sell your products to the elderly to earn a certain rebate.

Therefore, if you have time, you must persuade your parents and even relatives around you to choose a regular tour group when you travel abroad. Don't be cheated of a lot of money because you are greedy for a short time. If you can, you'd better take your parents and feel the joy of traveling together.
