How about studying abroad, is it important, the route and feelings of studying abroad

Usually, it is difficult for us to judge whether a study tour institution is really good or not before taking part in the study tour, but we can judge whether the institution is reliable from some angles, such as products and routes, websites and the size of the company. According to our years of research experience, it seems that the selection of institutions is based on qualifications, but in fact, it is necessary to screen and identify the nature, products and lines, cost, safety, brand and other aspects of institutions.

Institutional nature

Usually, downstream institutions can be roughly divided into two categories: one is the study tour market developed by travel agencies, which caters to parents' preferences and calls on student groups to travel to the United States, Europe, Japan, South Korea and other countries with the "prestigious school tour" as the gimmick. On the whole, because the nature of the institution is mainly tourism, it is difficult to take care of both schools. This kind of route generally visits universities and stays in hotels, because travel companies have advantages in air tickets and hotel fees, so they are relatively affordable. The other is the study tour program of educational institutions. Some of these institutions are educated, so they can often plan or choose routes from the perspective of education and learning, so they can be guaranteed in terms of "learning". Generally, the routes will be more in-depth than those of tourist agencies, such as studying in schools, staying in school dormitories or local residents' homes. The disadvantage is that they don't necessarily want to travel much, so they gain more. The disadvantage is that the price is not cheap, and it is better.

The second comparison of choosing a good international study tour institution is the route. The effect of international study tour mainly depends on the route. As mentioned above, some routes are mainly based on tourism, supplemented by learning, and some institutions are mainly based on learning, supplemented by tourism, so the choice is crucial. Parents can carefully check the routes launched by various travel agencies and judge for themselves according to their children's interests.

Under normal circumstances, the route design of educational tourism companies mainly takes growth and harvest as the starting point, taking into account the needs of entertainment and play. At the same time, it will show the route clearly and in detail in its official website or manual, and show the specific itinerary, hotel content and transportation in the form of video, pictures and words, including what is included in the quotation and what is not included. If some of these aspects are unclear, we should pay attention to them, which may be the pits dug by some unscrupulous institutions for customers.

Is the charge transparent?

According to our years of experience, in the process of participating in international study tours, there are often some serious complaints or phenomena, that is, tariff disputes. Many parents reported that after registration, they found that there were various fees, such as air tickets and visa fees. Shopping, lodging and visiting scenic spots after going abroad are also very expensive. These extra expenses are the main source of controversy.

Some informal or inexperienced organizations often like to be vague about the fees. Some are motivated by winning customers first, while others are really inexperienced. I don't know what other fees will be.

Under normal circumstances, formal institutions will clearly state all possible expenses that will occur in the process of formal study tour on their websites or manuals, and will also clearly state what expenses are included in the route quotation and what expenses are not included, so as to facilitate customers to make accurate judgments. Therefore, it is very important to carefully check the website of the organization or ask the sales staff to approve the expenses, and if necessary, it needs to be agreed through the contract.

Safety protection

Sending children abroad for international study tour is a very serious matter. Children in foreign countries, parents are not around, facing many unknown things. Choosing the right child is really helpful to their growth, and choosing the wrong one is constantly useless. If other accidents are caused by inadequate safety measures, it is even more worthwhile, so the importance of safety should even be put in the first place.

But don't worry too much. Most powerful institutions will have certain safeguards, such as purchasing overseas medical accident insurance, arranging experienced team leaders and 24-hour emergency contacts at home and abroad. However, these security measures are passive security measures and often have great lag. According to the feedback from many parents we have collected, we know that an international travel agency in West Earth mentioned above has done a good job in active security, and they will arrange a GPS watch for each student who goes abroad. Parents can log in to their mobile phones in China to check their children's GPS tracks. In case of an accident, they can immediately contact 24-hour emergency contacts at home and abroad to immediately control their children's safety.
