What is the purpose of tourism planning?

Tourism planning is a branch of the tourism industry, and its main tasks are to arrange car use, accommodation, meals, tickets, driver's guide arrangement, cost accounting, peer handover and so on.

In order to control the cost of travel agencies, tourism planning needs to negotiate reception fees with hotels, restaurants, tourist convoys and cooperative agencies that receive tourism teams. Therefore, a good dispatcher must give consideration to both cost control and team operation effect, that is, he must work out a route that can control the cost to the lowest in different trips on the premise of ensuring the team has good operation effect.

The adjustment of tourism planning should not only carefully arrange the team's itinerary, but also monitor the whole itinerary of the received tourism team. Because tour guides travel with a group, the only way to contact with travel agencies is to plan and adjust. Travel agencies track and understand the activities of travel teams through plans, and adjust the services of tour guides, including flexibly responding to unexpected events of tourists during the travel process on behalf of travel agencies. Therefore, Ji Diao is the behind-the-scenes manipulator of a trip.

Main characteristics of dispatching work

1, specificity

Planning and scheduling work, whether it is to collect the reception situation in this area and predict it to other travel agencies, or to accept the business reception quotation of package travel agencies and prepare the reception plan, is a very specific transactional work. The planning and dispatching department is always busy with solving and handling specific work such as purchasing, contacting and arranging reception plans.

2. Complexity

There are many kinds of dispatch services, involving procurement, reception, ticketing, transportation, and arranging accommodation for tourists. The procedure of dispatching business is complicated, from receiving the report from the tour group agency to the settlement after the reception of the tour group, all of which are related to dispatching personnel. The dispatching business involves complex relationships and has business dealings with almost all tourist reception departments. Coordinating these relationships runs through the whole process of dispatching business.

3. variability

The variability of dispatch business is determined by the number of tour groups and the variability of travel agency plans. Once the number of tour groups changes, it will affect almost all the work of the dispatcher, which can be described as "taking the lead and moving the whole body." In addition, the domestic transportation and accommodation conditions can not guarantee the normal supply, which also brings a lot of uncertainty to the dispatching work.
