Three thoughts on the "hot" and "cold" aspects of the "Sunset Red" special train tour: Group meal turned into "group resentment"?

When traveling in a group, you usually have a group meal, which is the so-called "group meal". With the development of the tourism industry in recent years, the quality of "group meals" has been greatly improved. After all, it’s hard to reconcile everyone’s opinions. Therefore, rational people generally do not have too many expectations for "group meals", as long as they are reasonable. When traveling with this mentality, you won't have anything to complain about "group meals", and you may even feel good about it from time to time.

As for the "group meal" of the "Sunset Red" special train tour, because it has its own uniqueness and is one of the important influencing factors for this emerging type of tourism, I have personally experienced it. , so let’s talk about it.

1. The particularity of the "Sunset Red" special train tour group meals:

At present, the "Sunset Red" special train tour cannot take these into account, which has led to group tours The experience was extremely bad.

Let’s give a few examples.

Our first "group meal" on this Northeast special train was in Shanhaiguan. We were taken to a wasteland far out in the countryside, where a temporary prefab house area was set up, which became our restaurant. Not to mention the harsh environment, the key point is that the food is already cold and difficult to eat. Some people were emotionally stimulated and cursed while eating; some asked the tour guide to complain. This first "group meal" was like a slap in the face, which completely shattered the romantic imagination of joining a group tour.

The most unforgettable thing was the "group meal" in Manzhouli. Before going there, the local tour guide had already hinted that the hotels that could accommodate the "Sunset Red" train were all related. This means that who can get this business is not necessarily based on the reception capacity and the quality of the food. Sure enough, when we arrived at the restaurant, the food was delayed because there were too many people. We were so hungry that we had no choice but to eat white rice and some steamed buns to satisfy our hunger. Some people simply go out and find small restaurants to eat at their own expense. Some people filmed this scene with their mobile phones and posted it online. Some complained to relevant departments. "Team meal" turned into "group resentment".

The dining car on the train seems to only be able to make high-quality, unpalatable meals. Therefore, most people have to prepare their own food and worry about buying rations on the train every time they travel. As a result, the food waste on the train has doubled, which not only brings great difficulties to the management of the conductors, but also pollutes the "living" environment of passengers.

In short, the issue of food has become very prominent because of the special nature of the "Sunset Red" train tour.

We learned that because special train tours are a big cake for the local tourism industry, everyone wants to take a bite, which leads to a rush. Some places do not know what they can do and do not have the reception capacity. If you try your best to squeeze in, the above situation will inevitably occur.

To solve these problems, we must plan well from the top-level design. For example:

First, improve the dining conditions and environment of a train. Greatly improve the quality of food on the train and give full play to the role of the train dining car. In this way, passengers can eat comfortably on the train without having to prepare their own food, and the train environment can also be improved.

Second, on the premise of improving the quality of train dining, the number of meals outside can be reduced, the number of meals on the train can be increased, and the pressure on local hotels can be alleviated.

Third, increase the number of buffets. In some scenic spots, if the local reception capacity is limited, buffets can be adopted. In this way, tourists can prepare in advance and avoid eating cold meals. Phenomenon.

In short, to prevent "Sunset Red" from becoming a "sunset pit", the problem of "group meals" that has gone sour must be solved.
