What's the difference between private groups, boutique groups and scattered groups?

Tourism has become a demand in many people's daily life, not only to see more and walk more, but also to relax their usual nervous thoughts or feel new things that are rarely touched in daily life during the trip.

But at present, there are all kinds of tour groups in the market, such as individual tour groups, VIP boutique packages and private tour groups. So how to choose these three types of dough?

First of all, the FIT group, as its name implies, is a group of FIT from different regions. This is the most routine and common group type. Under the condition of the same line in the market, the group type with lower price is basically like this. Because the price of this group is calculated first, basically the price is calculated according to about 30 people, so the fare is very low at first. However, in order to meet the requirements of most people, the itineraries of such groups are basically the most routine itineraries, and the accommodation conditions are relatively limited, because travel agencies will keep the price very low in order to attract more guests to sign up, even if the five-star accommodation standard is written, it is very likely that the same itinerary will be divided into different five-star or even different-star accommodation guests.

If this kind of reunion is nationwide, it will be more painful from the first day of departure. Because travel agencies have to transport guests from different hotels in the same city to a unified departure place by car, and in order to reduce costs and ensure departure time, cars usually pick up guests from two or three hotels, so guests leave early and need to wait for each other after arriving at the meeting place.

The service of the tour guide and the quality of catering on the way really depend on luck. Life is better when you meet a better tour guide. If you meet a tour guide who is in the eyes of money, or even a black tour guide (an illegal tour guide who has no tour guide card or rents a tour guide card to join the group), you should hold back your anger and constantly build your own mind. Because most of these individual groups are shopping groups, even individual groups under the banner of pure play actually include hidden shopping spots such as Zhong Jing shops and restaurants, and in the end, tour guides have to sell cars. At this time, faced with the pleading of the tour guide who has been together for several days, do you buy or not? This is enough to give you a headache.

The second is the VIP boutique small package group. This group is actually a very small and scattered group. The number of tour groups depends entirely on how each travel agency defines the concept of "VIP tour group". At present, some people in the market call the scattered group of 20 people VIP boutique group, and there are many small groups of 6- 12 people. If there are 6- 10 people in this group, there is generally no guide. The advantage of this group is that there are few people and there are relatively few troubles in the country.

But it is still a scattered group, so there will still be all kinds of things in the group. For example, many tour groups require drivers to share their accommodation and meals equally. Because such tour groups are scattered, it also gives some drivers who lack service awareness an opportunity. They will find guests who have a good relationship with them, or guests who are easy to talk, and find opportunities to step on some roadside shopping stores to earn some "hard work". No matter whether the guests like it or not, no one wants to be the "early bird" who opposes the driver's practice because it is casual. Moreover, if the guests of this group want to make some cuts to the scenic spots in the itinerary, they can only make changes after the consent of the whole group of guests, so some guests with quality requirements will encounter some bad things.

The third is the relatively high-end private group at present. The advantage of this kind of group is that it has a high degree of freedom, which is more worry-free than free travel, and avoids the trouble of guests doing various raiders in advance. As the name implies, this private group is a single group, and no one will join except the registered tourists. Changes in quantity will also lead to changes in prices.

At present, private group quotations on the market are generally in groups of two, so the cost is relatively high at first. Because after all, only two people share all kinds of expenses. But if it becomes three, four or more people, the price drop will be reduced even more. So if you sign up for a private tour, don't think the price is high at first, but look at the price according to the number of people you want to travel.

Because the private group only has its own people, it is relatively easy to adjust the itinerary during the itinerary. You don't have to break up the group, you should also consider the opinions of other group members. And relatively speaking, this group has done a good job in protecting customer privacy.

However, this group should ask some key questions before leaving the group.

One is the model, because the prices of different models are different, and the price difference will become larger. At the same time, I asked if you would change trains all the time. If you change a car every day, it is completely different from the whole car service.

The other is to see if tickets are included in the itinerary. In order to make the price look lower, some private groups deliberately reduce the small traffic expenses in scenic spots in terms of service standards.

Another is to fully consider the comfort of the trip, don't be greedy, and find that you are very tired when you walk during the trip, which loses the original intention of the private group to pursue comfort.

In a word, the three kinds of tours actually represent the different psychological choices of guests in the current market, and everyone's economic conditions are different. However, what I personally object to most is actually taking part in shopping tours or traveling with invisible shopping. Don't think that you can feel like a stone, sign up for a low-cost tour and never buy anything. When you arrive at the tour, you will find that you spend no less money than taking part in a better tour, and you are not comfortable at all. Travel bookkeeping depends not only on the price at the time of registration, but also on how much you will spend on the road. This is a wise choice for tourists.

Of course, the most important thing is to choose a regular travel agency with tourism qualifications. Some activities organized by so-called "clubs" should be considered by themselves. If there is an accident, it is estimated that it will be very troublesome to find someone to complain about compensation. Never lose big because of small things.
