Have you ever been cheated while traveling?

Now everyone's living standard has generally improved, and many people travel every year. Then, many people will choose travel agencies to travel with groups. So, have you been cheated by a travel agency? I guess I must have been cheated.

It is said that the pit is similar every year, but it is different from the group pit every time. I believe this is the profound experience of many group tourists. For example, the promise before departure cannot be fulfilled, the scheduled tourist attractions are cancelled for various reasons, and the tour guide's attitude is bad. To make matters worse, in order to force shopping, you don't go to the toilet by car for hours, and then you are dragged to the shopping store. If you don't shop, I won't give you directions and suffocate you.

Maybe you want to say, I'll find it myself! I'm sorry, the setting of the shopping mall is a maze. If there is no direction, you really have to hold it.

Traveling was originally a very happy thing, but it turned out to be a trip full of gunpowder.

How did tourism develop like this? Next, let's analyze the operation mode of travel agencies.

1. Price composition.

Travel agency or free travel, the price is nothing more than four parts: travel, accommodation, travel and food.

1, OK, that is, transportation, take one of the high-speed buses by plane to reach the destination, and then take various taxis to reach the scenic spots.

2, alive, now that you are out, you have to live better and more comfortably. You have enough spirit to enjoy life.

3, sightseeing, local attractions to go? Online celebrity attractions can't be missed. If necessary, you have to hire a guide.

4, food, to the destination, in addition to sightseeing, the most important thing is to taste the local food, otherwise this trip is equal to nothing.

Then, the prices of these four parts, except "food", can be found by checking the other three online, so that you can know how much it costs to go out once.

However, the same itinerary, compared with the price of travel agencies, feels wrong.

Why is the travel agency's quotation so much lower than my own statistics?

Emotional travel agencies are all living Lei Feng?

Of course not. Travel agencies want to make a profit, so how do they make a profit?

Second, the source of profit.

In the tourism industry, there is an organization that specializes in designing tourist routes, which is responsible for integrating visas, transportation, hotels, restaurants and scenic spots into tourist routes. Well, how do you feel about my own overseas travel plan? Yes, it does. You call it a private order. This kind of organization is called professional customization, and the biggest difference between them is that professional customization can get great discounts in various businesses because of its large scale.

Then professional customizers set the prices of these tourist routes and package them into products. Distribute to travel agencies for sale.

This is how the tourist routes that consumers come into contact with in travel agencies are "produced".
