What should travel agencies pay attention to when the new tourism law comes out?

The new Tourism Law clearly stipulates that there are five "no's" in the operation of travel agencies, such as "not organizing tourism activities at unreasonably low prices, not deceiving tourists, not obtaining benefits by arranging tourists to shop or obtaining kickbacks from other paid tourism projects, not specifying specific consumption places, and not arranging other paid tourism projects". It also clarified the "three noes" for tour guides and tour leaders, including not contracting tour guides and tour leaders privately, not changing travel itinerary or suspending service activities without authorization, and not asking tourists for tips. This series of regulations makes it clear that it is illegal to attract customers at low prices and obtain benefits through forced shopping or improper means. The rules and behavior norms of the tourism market are clarified from all aspects.

Now, the benefits of taking a tour group out are controlled by the Tourism Law. In the past, it was not feasible to attract tourists at low prices and then gain benefits through various channels. Now, we can only raise prices, such as the soaring price of outbound travel, in which the increase in Southeast Asia is as high as 50% to 100%, which makes travel agencies lose more than half of tourists during the National Day Golden Week. The business volume of travel agencies has plummeted in recent days. Many tourists originally wanted to travel with a group during the National Day holiday. As a result, the price of travel agencies has skyrocketed these days, so several friends made an appointment to travel together. If they have a car, they can go to road trip. Those who don't have a car can also take a car or a plane. In this way, the business of travel agencies will be reduced by more than half.

After the implementation of the new Tourism Law, it is of great benefit to tourists who travel abroad, and they are all voluntary and transparent consumption. For example, you won't spend money to buy things at tourist attractions. In this way, go on road trip will continue to increase, and travel agencies or other tour operators will be greatly affected.
