In recent years, the competition among domestic tour groups has become more and more intense, so there have been many attempts to reduce group fees to attract the attention of tourists. The editor does not choose travel agencies when traveling domestically, because group tours I don’t feel free at all. Although there are many ways to travel, many people still choose to join a group. The reason why they choose to join a group is because it is cheap and they can see different scenery for a small amount of money. Of course, many people wonder why group tours are so cheap? Do travel agencies operate at a loss? In fact, the editor only knows the reason through a friend who is a tour guide.

In fact, everyone knows that the reason why travel agencies can survive in such a competitive society must have their unique business philosophy.

Not to mention going to a scenic spot to experience the local customs, even some You may not even know what the scenic spot is, but the tour guide will inform you to go to the next scenic spot without introducing you to the significance of each scenic spot in detail, so this kind of trip will become meaningless.
