3. Self-help tourism

People do not arrange their own travel itinerary through travel agencies at all, but carry out activities according to their own wishes, such as backpacking. It is characterized by freedom, flexibility and frugality. Many people think that self-help tour is a way to save money, with rough content and many dangers. It is a misunderstanding that it is unsafe not to book a hotel. In fact, if you deeply understand the characteristics of self-help tour, you will find that self-help tour is quite exquisite and distinctive. Self-help tour allows all expenses to be controlled according to your own preferences, the itinerary can be flexibly adjusted, and you can gain a deeper understanding of local customs. Self-help tour is by no means a more fun and cheaper way to travel, but to spend more time in the same place to deeply understand the characteristics of this place, get in touch with local people and things, see what you want to see and take the road you want to go.

4. Mutual aid tourism

Mutual assistance tourism is a tourism model spawned by the Internet. It is an activity of making friends with the guiding ideology of independence, equality and mutual assistance, and it is an economic tourism (without middlemen).

In layman's terms, mutual travel means making friends and traveling, bringing personal relationships on the Internet to the real world, and emphasizing that traveling should not be just my path, but my experience.

Mutual aid tourism will become one of the main tourism modes of people today, and it is also a modern social concept and happy lifestyle brought by the era of science and technology.

The meaning of travel is meaningful.

The greatest advantage of traveling is not how many people you can meet and how many beautiful scenery you have seen, but walking and suddenly getting to know yourself again under an opportunity.
