What are the characteristics of self-help tour?

The biggest feature of self-help tourism is the strong autonomy of tourism content.

Everyone has enough time to enjoy traveling. Even a semi-self-help tour with a suitable itinerary can enjoy free activities and tourism content. The travel content and itinerary are mostly dominated by self-help tourists, which is the biggest feature of self-help travel and the most attractive place.

Those who like mountains can arrange to go to the Himalayas or Zhangjiajie in Tibet, those who like the sea can go to famous beaches in Hainan Island and Qingdao, and those who have a soft spot for art will go to major art galleries in Beijing. Self-help tourists can make different itineraries according to their needs.

Self-help tour allows all expenses to be controlled according to your own preferences, the itinerary can be flexibly adjusted, and you can gain a deeper understanding of local customs. Self-help tour is by no means a more fun and cheaper way to travel, but to spend more time in the same place to deeply understand the characteristics of this place, get in touch with local people and things, see what you want to see and take the road you want to go.

Influence on traditional tourism

Self-help travel has been accepted and enthusiastic by more and more young people, and various self-help travel modes have begun to appear on the Internet, such as free travel, self-help travel, mutual help travel, go on road trip and so on.

Traditional tourism is mostly defined by travel agencies, which design tourist routes or itineraries for tourists through buying and selling to achieve the common goals of both parties. This way is obviously in a passive position in the pursuit of personalized social services today.

The main players in tourism tend to be younger. Nowadays, young people's pursuit of nature, individuality, comfort and independence has become the main way of travel. Self-help tour just fits this model and will inevitably lead to its wanton rise. They generally believe that traditional group tourism should cooperate with others.

At the same time, the expenditure of travel expenses far exceeds that of self-help tours. Traveling with a group needs to accommodate the route arrangement and scenic spots of the travel agency, and the travel agency has increased unnecessary extra consumption in the tourism project, which is one of the reasons why most people choose self-help travel.

Therefore, the development of self-help tour is bound to have a certain impact and influence on traditional tourism. If the traditional tourism industry does not improve and improve its travel mode in the future, then self-help travel will really replace the traditional travel mode.
