What are the advantages and disadvantages of traveling with a group tour?

Advantages of joining the group: 1. The tour fee is low, and you can get air tickets, tickets and tickets with lower discounts.

2. There is a tour guide to follow the whole process, and someone will help solve something, so you can travel without worry.

3. Don't worry about it, someone will arrange the itinerary for you.

4. It is safer to have more people.

Disadvantages of following a group: 1. Poor travel experience, like catching ducks and taking a fixed itinerary.

2. There are generally shopping arrangements during the trip, and there are a large number of self-paid items.

3. Food, housing and transportation are relatively rough.

The advantage of traveling with a group can save some money and time, but the disadvantage is that you can take a look at it and play it thoroughly.

The advantage is that you can directly know the fun place, and the disadvantage is that it is the same as the assembly line, and you have walked around.

Pros: Convenient and cheap.

Cons: Not so much freedom, you go wherever the guide goes, and the whole brigade follows the group.

Well, traveling by yourself is more free, where do you want to go, and then if you consult then you want to choose a preferential you go with the group, but there is an advantage of following the group to meet the kind of poor people who consume, you still go to find those, you also go to those formal places, to prevent being deceived.

If you are traveling with a group, let's talk about the advantages first:

1. If you are traveling with a group, let's talk about the advantages first:

1.Don't worry about it, someone will arrange the itinerary for you.

2.You can get cheap air tickets (tickets), tickets, hotel accommodation, etc.

3.This point starts with outbound travel.

is most obvious. That is to seek safety psychology, if there is something to help solve (tour guide or tour leader), let's talk about its shortcomings:

1.First of all, shopping is definitely a serious problem. Sometimes it's even coerced or tricked (though most don't).

2.The stroke is fixed. Sometimes it's rushed. And I don't feel very free. Don't worry about it, someone will arrange the itinerary for you.

2.You can get cheap air tickets (tickets), tickets, hotel accommodation, etc.

3.Nowhere is this more evident than in outbound travel. That is to seek safety psychology, if there is something to help solve (tour guide or tour leader), let's talk about its shortcomings:

1.First of all, shopping is definitely a serious problem. Sometimes it's even coerced or tricked (though most don't).

2.The stroke is fixed. Sometimes it's rushed. And I don't feel very free.

Must go shopping to be honest, most travel agencies have shopping, unless it is the kind of high-end group, many travel agencies in the publicity, all say that there is no forced consumption, said what is a pure play group. But when you are in the process of playing, you will find that many of them are not as the tour guide said, and the better tour guide may do some work, and even have a certain amount of mandatory. And to the shopping store, some tour guides are very polite to tourists who have bought things, but they will look at tourists who do not buy things, very cold, remember when they traveled to Hong Kong and Macao, because a group member did not buy anything, the face of the tour guide fell two feet long, very ugly.

This practice not only hurts tourists, but also affects the reputation of tour operators and tour guides. Unpalatable group meals are generally reported to have group meals, but the quality of group meals can be said to be really flattering. Some friends think that if I reported the 80 group meal, it would definitely eat well, but you are wrong to think so.

Because generally speaking, 80 group meals are basically made according to the standard of 50-60, if you quote 60, it is very likely to be made according to 40. The extra money is not returned to the tourists, but goes into the pockets of the tour agency, which is why the group meal will be so unpalatable, after all, there is still a big difference between your expectations and reality. Think about it, if your tour price itself is low, can you still expect to eat better?

That's a fool's dream. Free attractions Generally speaking, many low-cost groups ** are very low, but there seem to be a lot of attractions, and many people think it is very cost-effective, after all, he doesn't know much about attractions. In fact, there are routines in this, and many travel agencies will add a lot of free attractions to their itinerary, such as an ancient town, a park, or a landmark building.

When he added a few more free attractions like this, he gave tourists the feeling that this group was very good, and there were many scenic spots to visit. But in fact, most of them don't need money, and only a few people collect money. At the same time, there are also some travel agencies that buy tickets for the cheapest attractions when signing up for a group.

For example, Suzhou Garden, many travel agencies will take tourists to the Lion Forest, not the Humble Administrator's Garden, although at the same time Suzhou Garden, the Humble Administrator's Garden is a 5A scenic spot, and it is more interesting than the Lion Forest. All in all, there are many routines for group tours, but the advantages it brings are indeed incomparable with self-driving tours and other methods, after all, it saves time and effort, so this is also the necessity of its existence. For us, keeping our eyes open and avoiding the road is the most important thing, of course, we must know:

There's no such thing as a free lunch. You must be cautious when choosing the kind of super low-cost group, and you will definitely regret taking advantage of it.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of independent travel and group tours? Let's talk about this separately.

Let's start by talking about joining a small group branch. The best thing about joining a group is that you won't, and you don't have to worry about it. Food, accommodation and transportation have been arranged. However, the disadvantage is that you have to bring shopping, and most of the attractions are not very long and in a hurry.

For example, I traveled to Phuket, Thailand with a group in 14 years, and there were 7 people in our group that time. After leaving Phuket Airport, Sister Li went to the ATM to withdraw money. Because she didn't understand English as I did, she always didn't understand.

If she doesn't run well, she can't make money, and if she doesn't do it, she can't get a refund. I can't get my card. The tour guide there was shouting about the rally again, which made Sister Li sweat.

Fortunately, Sister Li pressed it blindly, and the card exited. If it weren't for T with the group, then Sister Li wouldn't have been in such a hurry.

Everyone had a lot of fun in Phuket for a few days, but the time was too short. Went to a maximum of three attractions. And in a hurry, they all get up early in the morning.

Of course, taking it shopping is essential. I remember that time when everyone bought latex Bofeng pillows, I bought four by myself. Now that I think about it, I don't know how I got them back, because four latex pillows are still that big.

Let's talk about independent travel. As the name suggests, free travel is freedom, not bound by time. You can spend an extra day or two in fun places and a few less days in places that aren't fun.

Don't feel the fun, and you won't idon't have to wake up so early. This is the biggest benefit of the free travel. If there's anything wrong with independent travel, it's that you can arrange your own routes, accommodation, and transportation.

In fact, people who are accustomed to free travel, these are not a problem.

For example, in November 17, we went to Weizhou Island in Guangxi and Guilin for a free trip. The whole trip lasted 15 days and all 9 of us had a great time and had a great time. Was going to stay 2 nights in Yangshuo.

Because the former classmate received her husband's **, she was worried that something would happen at home, and it was inconvenient for Yangshuo to return to Chengdu, so we went back to Guilin in advance. If you're with a team, you can not leave. In addition, we don't have to get up very early all the way, especially in Weizhou Island, where we sleep until we wake up naturally every day, which is beyond the reach of the group.

The above are the advantages and disadvantages of independent travel and group travel, because I am used to independent travel, and now I basically do not want to travel with a group.

1.Low transportation costs: Tours that bring together a large number of tourists can save on transportation costs, especially airline and train tickets.

2.Low cost of accommodation: Tours that bring together a large number of tourists can save on accommodation costs, especially hotel rooms, but may lose some facilities and services.

3.Additional fees charged by the tour guide: The tour guide will charge visitors additional fees, including entrance fees, attraction fees, etc., which may be much higher than the tour group advertises**.

4.Reduced service quality: In order to reduce costs, tour groups may reduce the quality of service, such as meals, accommodation, etc.

5.Discounts received by travel agents: Travel agents may receive discounts from attractions, hotels, etc., which may further reduce the rate of a tour**.
