How much is the deposit for the tour group to sign the contract?

Legal subjectivity:

If the tour group pays the deposit but doesn't sign the contract, if it doesn't sign the contract because it doesn't reach the agreed number of tour groups, the travel agency should refund the deposit collected. According to the third paragraph of Article 63 of the Tourism Law, if the contract is terminated due to the failure to reach the agreed number of tour groups, the package tour agency shall refund all the fees charged to the tourists. Article 587 of the Civil Code stipulates that if the debtor performs the debt, the deposit shall be used as the price or recovered. If the party paying the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt is not in conformity with the agreement, thus the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, it has no right to request the return of the deposit; If the party receiving the deposit fails to perform the debt or the performance of the debt does not conform to the agreement, so that the purpose of the contract cannot be achieved, the deposit shall be returned twice.
