Why do travel companies choose electronic contracts?

There are many versions and quantities of tourism contracts, and it is one of the indispensable and important links for both tourists to protect their rights and performance, and in the traditional paper contract signing process, tampering with the contract, yin and yang contracts are not conducive to the development of the entire industry and the rights protection of tourists.

The signing is not limited by region and time: tourists can sign the contract anytime and anywhere on the electronic signing platform, and the tour will start immediately;

Ensure the validity of the contract between the two parties: the signed content cannot be tampered with, the signed identity can be identified, and the compliance is safe and effective;

In a word, the tourism electronic contract is to realize the tourism enterprises on the basis of high efficiency and low cost, to achieve easy management, easy to sign, compliance and effective, and to empower the tourism industry practitioners.

The legal effect of an electronic travel contract is equivalent to that of a paper contract, but it is easier and faster to sign.

Users can sign contracts without leaving home, which can be viewed at any time, which is also conducive to the supervision of relevant departments, and can also save a lot of paper costs for travel agencies, what a beautiful and environmentally friendly thing.

An electronic contract is a contract concluded in the form of a data message, which is an agreement between two or more parties to establish, modify or terminate the relationship of property civil rights and obligations in electronic form through an electronic information network.

An electronic travel contract is a travel contract concluded in a third-party electronic contract conclusion system that complies with the law and has the content of the standard form of the travel contract that has passed the audit. It can realize all the functions of filling in and signing, modifying, uploading and filing, statistical analysis, supervision and management with tourists, and the tourism electronic contract with real-name authentication and reliable electronic signature has the same legal effect as the paper travel contract.

From a legal point of view, a valid travel electronic contract must meet the requirements of both parties to undergo real-name authentication and use reliable electronic signature technology. When signing the tourism electronic contract, it is necessary to use the electronic signature Ling Hao technology, rather than simply "confirming" or adding a watermark stamp, which is not only easy to be tampered with, but also does not have legal effect, reliable electronic signature is the core of an effective electronic contract, and the existing tourism electronic contract continues to improve, because only in this way can the legitimate rights and interests of both parties be protected.

The tourism electronic contract refers to the contract signed on the third-party electronic contract platform (such as the third-party electronic contract platform of Fada) in accordance with the legal provisions with the content of the standard format of the tourism contract that has passed the review.

1. Unified standard contract template.

The notice issued by the Office of the National Tourism Administration clearly states that the national supervision platform has generated the national tourism demonstration contract launched by the National Tourism Administration and the State Administration for Industry and Commerce as a first-class contract template. The tourism demonstration contract formulated by each locality can upload the template on the supervision platform, and form a "national tourism demonstration contract library" after being processed by the platform.

Second, the code and barcode electronic.

In the past, local tourism bureaus usually managed contracts by issuing uniform paper contracts, which had uniform codes and barcodes. After the issuance of the "Notice", the electronic process of signing the tourism contract will be realized through a unified electronic code. Travel agencies that have used electronic contracts, as long as they connect with the national regulatory platform before August 4, unify the electronic contract code and the first generation, and build a unified national "tourism electronic contract library".

In this way, electronic contracts can be used across the country and are mutually recognized.

3. Advantages of tourism electronic contracts.

For a paper travel contract, the cost of mailing in other places ranges from 10-20 yuan, and it takes 3-5 days to mail back and forth; The use of electronic contracts does not need to be mailed, and the whole process of electronic operations such as contract modification, signing, searching, archiving, and access greatly saves express delivery costs, time costs and labor costs, and also avoids risks such as contract loss and tampering.

So, how to sign a travel electronic contract to be legal and compliant?

In order to have the same legal effect as a paper travel contract, the electronic tourism contract must meet the two conditions of "the signatory party has undergone real-name authentication" and "has a reliable electronic signature".

If the electronic contract platform can sign the contract directly without real-name authentication for tourists, or if it does not use electronic signature technology but simply completes the signing by "confirming" or adding a watermark stamp, such a contract does not have legal effect. Therefore, in the selection of platforms, it is necessary to identify the legal effect of the electronic contracts signed by the platform. At present, most travel agencies will choose a third-party electronic contract platform like us to sign travel electronic contracts with tourists to ensure the legal compliance of the signed contracts.

There are two ways to sign an electronic contract for tourism:

This is achieved through the integration of the tourism platform with the electronic contract platform;

2. In the case of tourists choosing a travel route at the offline store of a travel agency, 1) the travel agency logs in to the third-party electronic contract platform (such as the contract lock) to register and certify, initiates the standard model contract of the travel contract, and sends it to the signatory for signature through the mobile phone number;

2) The internal contract management system of the travel agency is connected to the electronic contract signing function, and after the electronic contract signing process is initiated in the system, the tourist completes the ** face-to-face signing on the mobile device configured by the travel agency.

There are two main types of travel electronic contracts, one is OTA platforms (such as Ctrip. Where to go), and there is also an offline travel agency.

Offline travel agency stores:The signing and management of travel contracts can be completed through the third-party electronic contract platform.

The first step is to select a reliable third-party platform, register and authenticate (it is important to prove that you are you in the online environment), and create an electronic seal and electronic signature of the travel agency.

Step 2: Upload the documents that need to be signed, fill in the customer's name and mobile phone number and send them (the signing order of both parties can be customized).
