Who knows: what is the workflow of handling outbound tourism?

Get your passport ready-go to the travel agency to join the tour (sign the outbound travel contract, pay the tour fee, get the visa information form of the destination country and fill it out and give it to the travel agency)-the travel agency will apply for a visa-the pre-departure briefing-the guests will purchase foreign exchange by themselves-and leave.

Detailed rules for outbound travel:

1. Select the nearest travel agency store to consult the tour route and departure time.

2. Determine the travel route and time, go through the tour joining procedures with the sales staff, sign the Outbound Travel Contract, pay the tour fee, and at the same time receive the visa information form of the destination country and fill it out by yourself.

3. The guest will give the information needed by the tour group and the completed information form to the staff of the travel agency store.

4. The travel agency handles the visa formalities for the guests.

Within one week before the departure date, the travel agency will inform the guests of the specific time and place to attend the briefing.

6. Explain that after the meeting, the guests will purchase foreign exchange at the foreign exchange purchase bank designated by the state (see the exchange instructions for details).

7. Gather at the appointed time and place to visit the tourist destination.

Have a clear understanding of overseas travel

1. Choose a reputable travel agency.

Choose a legal travel agency with outbound travel qualification, good reputation and good service. After determining the travel route, you should sign an "outbound travel contract" with the travel agency. Usually travel agencies arrange services such as passports, air tickets, hotels and visas, and don't forget to ask for invoices.

Pack your bags

Traveling abroad may make you feel unwell, so you should prepare some commonly used drugs, such as cold, heatstroke prevention, carsickness, diarrhea, pain relief, anti-inflammatory, band-aid and anti-allergic drugs. Hotels in some countries don't have dental appliances, slippers and other necessities. Please bring your own set at your convenience.

3. Reasonable commitment to "travel expenses"

Overseas, the US dollar is the common currency. In Southeast Asia, RMB and Hong Kong dollars are also very popular. In addition to petty cash, you need to apply for credit cards and traveler's checks. You can consult a local tour guide to exchange petty foreign currency. When you go shopping alone abroad, you must bring the right amount of money. In order to ensure safety, you should take dozens of dollars of life-saving money with you.

Tip according to the regulations.

Traditionally, people who provide special services to guests face to face have to pay tips, such as hotel bellboy, doorman and taxi driver. Tips for the waiter who cleans the room can be placed in a conspicuous position when leaving the room; It is best to tip the porter, shake hands with him and thank him secretly; Tips for tour guides and drivers should be paid by members and then given to them by representatives in public.

5. Shop carefully to prevent being cheated

When buying high-value goods such as gold and silver jewelry and gem products, we should not only listen to the promise of refundable and exchangeable goods, but also choose regular shops and well-known businesses to avoid being cheated.

6. Personal safety protection measures

* the whole journey, in principle, can't leave the group without authorization.

* Try not to go out at night, and don't go to remote places or poor security communities.

* Don't carry precious jewels with you, and carry a small amount of cash with you.

* Ignore strangers who accost.

* Do not accept strangers to lead the way or take a ride.

Pay attention to outbound tourism

1. If China citizens want to travel abroad, they should consult and register with the travel agency authorized by the relevant departments to act as an agent for outbound tourism.

At present, China citizens travel abroad mainly in Hongkong, Macau, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. The travel routes launched by travel agencies have their own characteristics, and the tour arrangements are not the same. Visitors can choose the corresponding routes and dates according to their economic situation, vacation time and hobbies, and don't blindly follow the crowd.

3. Tourists can sign a contract with the travel agency after weighing the cost of the consultation route (including the scenic spots and hotel grades included in the itinerary) and determining the date, and pay the form fee when receiving the outbound travel form. The forms received by tourists include the Application Form for Shanghai Residents to Travel Abroad, hard cards and supplementary information forms, as well as exit registration procedures and travel instructions compiled by travel agencies. These forms are specially printed by the public security organs and handed over to travel agencies with the right to travel abroad. All forms must be truthfully filled in with a pen, with clear and neat handwriting. The Chinese phonetic alphabet of the applicant's name should be spelled and filled in correctly. Visitors should also prepare a two-inch color recent photo for photo protection according to the needs of the route, and affix the political examination seal according to the requirements of the Public Security Bureau for handling passports.

The applicant should fill in the form within the time specified by the travel agency, and pay all the travel expenses to the travel agency in time with the form. The business staff of the travel agency will tell the tourists in detail how to handle the passport procedures for outbound travel, and the tourists will send them to the foreign affairs office of the Public Security Bureau for handling. Travel agencies take the date when tourists hand in their forms as the official registration date. According to the organization of tourists, travel agencies have the right to make appropriate adjustments.

5. After completing the outbound travel formalities and obtaining the travel passport, tourists can wait for the notice from the travel agency and attend the outbound travel briefing as required by the notice to further understand the relevant regulations and common sense of outbound travel.

Exchange instructions and required materials

Domestic residents can purchase foreign exchange before leaving the country, and the maximum amount of foreign exchange purchased by each tour group is $3,000. You need an ID card or household registration book, a passport with a tourist visa, the name of the group confirmed by the travel agency (the above is the original and a copy), and the original "foot remittance form" issued by the travel agency with the seal of the agency. (Beijing China Bank, China Industrial and Commercial Bank and CITIC Industrial Bank can all accept this foreign exchange purchase business. )
