Xishuangbanna tourism quotes with the group.

In fact, everyone knows this answer when asking the low-priced group. It must be a pit. Why do you say that? Travel agencies must make money. If they can't collect money from the tour fare, they can only find ways to get you to pay in other ways.

Low-priced group shady

Say the conclusion first, there must be something fishy:

Shopping in the store! At one's own expense

Also, meals and accommodation, as well as scenic spots and girls, don't expect it. However, your personal safety can still be guaranteed, so don't worry about it, but your mood is definitely not guaranteed. The standard corresponding to this tour fee is probably as follows:

Food: it is not necessarily full;

Su: clean and hygienic, no rain, no mice;

Ok: the quality of the bus is still good (real car condition;

Tour: Free and most regular scenic spots.

Purchase: this is the main purpose of this group, and we will never stop until we reach the goal.

Entertainment: This is the secondary purpose of this group and the means of income generation.

This operation method, in which the tour fee is obviously lower than the cost, is called negative grounding, or KB for short.

Reason: fierce but disorderly market competition, and the corresponding lack of supervision has never kept up, will certainly bring barbaric and pathological growth!

What the tour guide will say to you, including but not limited to:

Welcome brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts to our beautiful Yunnan. Come out to play, it is fun (serious face, I mainly serve everyone, please be sure to relax (show attitude and pull feelings)

Please support my work, I have a family to support, and life is not easy (pretend to be poor)

We all come out with tasks. If we don't cooperate with the work of the little tour guide, we will not only work for nothing today, but also pay for it ourselves (pretending to be pathetic)

Let's take a look at the car next to us. People have bought so many things to cooperate with our work. We welcome such guests in Yunnan.

If you don't buy things, today's task is not up to standard, the company won't give me money, and we won't be able to eat and stay on time (threat

Our car broke down and we can't drive now. Please wait (directly, this situation is usually on TV.

The attitude of tour guides is positively related to the shopping amount of tourists;

The condition of the bus is positively related to the shopping amount of tourists;

The number of toilets is positively related to the shopping amount of tourists.

Ok, the conclusion is over, and then we will start to talk about the operation methods and reasons:

The chaos in Yunnan's tourism market ranks first in the country. If he wants to say that he ranks third, then Hong Kong and Hainan absolutely dare not say that they rank first. Now the Yunnan market has formed a complete and tenacious interest chain. Travel agencies, tour guides, transportation companies, hotels, restaurants, scenic spots, shops, and even local governments are all short-term beneficiaries, and the only victims are ignorant tourists and Yunnan (this illusory name itself and the impression behind it)

God, I suddenly feel that it takes time and space to clarify this question. Let's take a break first and then do more in the afternoon.

To find out the root of this problem, we must first clarify several concepts:

Group travel agency (retailer: this is the kind of travel agency that guests understand. All over the streets of the city. Common: China Travel Service, China Travel Service, China Youth Travel Service, Hong Kong China Travel Service, China, knowledgeable person and other local brands. They hang a unified brand, but they are not related to each other, only to their own headquarters. The management of the headquarters is either strict or loose, or it only collects money and does nothing;

Dedicated line (wholesaler: it is the link between tour groups and ground agencies, the seller of airline seats, and the packaging and promotion of tourism products. Contact official or unofficial institutions to promote the route, provide products and quotations to the tour group and after-sales, which is not directly related to tourists;

Land agency (producer: producer of tourism products, directly purchasing special supply lines such as meals, accommodation, scenic spots and small traffic, which is related to local governments and scenic spots, and is a direct fulfillment of tourism contracts, but not directly related to tour groups;

E-commerce: In recent years, it has sprung up suddenly. In the early stage, it mainly focused on group travel services and faced direct customers. Later, I slowly skipped the special line and directly set foot in the wholesale business. It is represented by national e-commerce companies such as Tuniu, Ctrip, Qunar and Tongcheng, as well as small princes from all over the country.

Tourists want to visit a place, and the whole process is as follows:

Choose products in street travel agency stores or e-commerce websites. If you have any questions about the line products, the tour group will provide answers; If the guest is willing to make a reservation at this time, the tour group will ask the special line for a seat and enter the process 2;

The special line confirms the location to the tour group, improves the relevant procedures and issues the plan in advance.

Send guest information to the ground agency, book large transportation, scenic spots, etc., and fulfill the contract.

Ok, after roughly writing a few basic concepts, analyze the group of the subject:

First of all, there is no doubt that this is a negative tour group. This tour fee is not even enough for air tickets, so why are people willing to do it?

One-ring backward push:

The package tour agency purchases this product from the special line at a cost price, and sells it to tourists at a sales price. As long as there is a price difference in the middle, it will not lose money; Therefore, the group agency does not lose money;

The special line is the key link, the ticket is bought directly from the airline, and the rest of the services are provided by the ground agency. But the money paid by the subject is not even enough for the plane ticket. What should I do? The ground connection will subsidize the special line (KB! Yes, you are not mistaken. The ground agency is responsible for the guests' tickets, accommodation, meals, tour guide fees, transportation fees, etc. Not only does it not charge the special line a penny, but it pays the special line money backwards. This money is called KB. For example, if the air ticket is 1,000, and the land agency gives KB400, then the cost of the special line is 1,000+(-400 = 600), and then the special line is sold to the group agency at the price of 700/ person, then there will be profits. Therefore, the special line does not lose money;

Is the ground agency really Lei Feng? Obviously not, because they simply can't afford a diary. Then, why do you want to do something that seems to be a big head, such as eating, drinking and playing, and changing money? Because there are scenic spots and shops that block guns! The ground agency sends tour guides and drivers to take the guests to the store, and the shopkeeper will give the ground agency money on a per capita basis. That is to say, as long as you bring someone to me, I will give it, whether tourists buy it or not; The scenic spot is to sell to the guests at their own expense. Then the money obtained, after removing the cost, is distributed to tour guides and local agencies. Therefore, as long as the land agency keeps sending tourists to shops and scenic spots, it will have a stable income, so the land agency will not lose money.

Then, who lost all this? Compared with everyone, we all understand! Of course, it is tourists, as well as the stigmatized scenic spots and places where the scenic spots are located.

Finally, I'll send you a picture to calm you down:

Speaking of this, I probably answered the question of the subject and explained the problem initially.

What I am talking about is not shady or insider, but everyone has the right and need to know some basic knowledge about traveling-it can promote the healthy and benign development of the whole tourism industry while reducing the damage to their own interests.

First, about the group screening for zero-negative tour fee: a simple and rude skill-consulting the price of children and the elderly, if it is higher than the price of adults, there is no doubt that the zero-negative tour fee.

Why? Because since it is a zero-negative group, purchasing power must be taken into account when pricing. Therefore, the land agency will initially set the price according to the per capita income of a certain area, and then on this basis, according to gender (individual routes, the number of people traveling together (individual routes, age (generally subdivided, give accurate prices. Visitors who are outside the above-mentioned restrictions are required to add money, and the amount varies.

The more restricted conditions there are, the harder the zero-negative tour fee is. So far, I have only seen the above three qualifications appear together on a big line. Yes, I'm talking about Yunnan. An example of the previous peer advertisement: Kundali Edition Line, a native of XXX province/city, aged 26-55, with less than 6 people (male is less than half, 580/ person) (please bring this condition into the above description one by one and experience madness.

Second, regarding the selection of quality groups with high cost performance:

In recent years, group tours have been stigmatized by tourism practitioners themselves. In the eyes of many people, group tours are synonymous with low quality, lack of freedom and poor experience. But as far as travel agencies are concerned, there are actually many excellent products. I will try my best to write in detail below:

Let's summarize the general line conditions first-

Lines with more zero-negative tour fees in China (most but not absolute: Yunnan; Hong Kong and Macao; Hainan; Shanghai-Nanjing-Hangzhou; Inner Mongolia; Taiwan Province;

Lines with less zero-negative tour fees in China (most but not absolute: northwest lines-Qinghai, Gansu, Xinjiang, Tibet; Lines within 150KM around each city; Go on road trip in China;

Routes with more outbound zero-negative group fees (most but not absolute: Thailand-Chiang Mai, Bangkok Pattaya connection, Phuket; Xinmatai; Vietnam; Cambodia. Mainly concentrated in Southeast Asia

Routes with less outbound zero-negative group fees (most but not absolute: high-end islands-Maldives, Mauritius, Seychelles, Palau, Saipan, Tahiti, etc.); Middle East and Africa; Northern Europe, Eastern Europe and Southern Europe; South America; North and South Pole (shopping? Buy penguins and polar bears?

1. The fewer destinations per unit time, the higher the cost, the higher the quality of scenic spots, the easier the trip and the better the experience.

This is an easy point to get. Take the famous European tour of 8/9/10/11 as an example. It takes as little as 10 days and as much as 14 days. After deducting 2 days or even 3 days of round trip, the rest basically visit 1.5 or even 3 countries every day (WTF! ! No matter how small the European countries are, you go to several countries every day. What can you feel in this situation?

去个卢浮宫，给你2小时时间，还没挤到蒙娜丽莎的旁边，时间就到了;

“集合，集合，我们该走了”;

每天坐大巴的时间基本在5小时以上，自己感受一下!(为毛知乎不能发emoji，简直影响表达能力。

景点基本以外观标志物、公园为主;

住宿在城市郊区，50KM以内都有可能。(不想睡觉去逛街?

以中餐为主

请自行脑补这样一幅画面：第一天你坐了13小时飞机到北京，旁晚时分把你放到天安门广场1小时，然后在KFC或M吃饭，晚上住在燕郊;第二天上午坐车到石家庄，逛一个公园;第三天上午坐车到郑姆斯特丹，参观一个博物馆......第十天上午坐车到广州，外观小蛮腰，然后在K或M吃饭，下午去机场等晚上的飞机回家;第十一天，经历了11小时的飞行，终于拖着20KG的行李和疲惫的身体躺在了床上，结束了中国之旅。(这就是大多数国人喜欢的欧洲八国游

2、询问团队的具体人数

团队人数少，意味着花在等待上面的时间不会太长——这个是很影响体验的因素。团队人数越多，相应的可能不守时的人就越多，很多纠纷投诉都是因此而起

3. Shop around

Before you prepare to travel, you must first understand where you want to go most, where you can go, and where you don't want to go. Choose the destination according to this principle.

After you have a clear destination, it's a good choice to try a travel website-now travel e-commerce companies are spending a lot of money, which will subsidize a lot. The sales price of many websites is only the price of traditional stores (it is recommended to log in to an e-commerce website endorsed by Jimmy Lin, which has the most comprehensive products and advantages in price, quality and after-sales; If you don't trust online transactions, you can take e-commerce products to traditional stores, so that the stores won't ask for prices (because e-commerce prices are very low; Secondly, it can also be used to select the business ability of stores (not all stores can find suppliers of e-commerce products)

Friendly reminder: you can compare prices appropriately, improve cost performance, and get rid of unreasonable profits; But please don't be mad.

4. If conditions permit, try driving by car!

How to enjoy the convenience provided by travel agencies while ensuring freedom and good experience? Driving by car is a good choice.

If you drive by car in China, the travel agency can arrange routes, tickets and accommodation, and the price is very affordable;

If you drive abroad, the advantages of travel agencies will be even greater. Travel agencies handle visas and international driver's licenses, provide team air tickets at preferential prices, provide car rental services at the airport, and provide bilingual tour leader services throughout the journey; Where to find such a good thing! ! !

My husband and I played Xishuangbanna for 3 days in the group of Kang Hui Travel Agency of Lijiang Daily. The first day is to pick up the plane. I went to the Wild Elephant Valley the next day. Depart at 7:50 am on the third day, with 2 shopping spots in the morning. I bought a jade pendant at the first shopping spot. I didn't buy tea. I didn't buy a rubber pillow mattress. I went to the primitive park in the afternoon. After the tour guide said that the performance was not completed, just take us to a store for half an hour. There was a man who claimed to be the boss after he went there. All kinds of clothes taught us to identify jade, saying that he wouldn't force us to shop, and even if we didn't buy it, he could make our money. Said that their jade is wholesale. Our hometown is also wholesale from their home. After that, you will give us a discount. One hundred dollars for one thousand, one thousand dollars for ten thousand. Let's choose at will. At that time, my brain was hot and I felt that this boss was so refreshing. Picked two pieces of jade, and the boss sent another piece of jade. After swiping the card, the boss said to pick another bracelet, and suddenly he reacted. Since we all lost money and sold it, why let us pick another bracelet? Suddenly I feel that I have fallen into the pit. Come out quickly and calm down. After the tour guide takes us to dinner, we will be sent to the airport. The more you think about it at the airport, the more wrong it is. If you think about it, you will be mistaken. The more I think about it after flying to Kunming at night, the more wrong it is. I searched the internet. It turned out to be a routine. Call 12301 for consultation on the morning of 28th, and you can return it. Just contact the travel agency, and the travel agency will contact the local tour guide, and the tour guide will contact the seller to return the goods. The seller agreed to return the goods. Now it has been sent to yuantong, and it will take 2 or 3 days for the express delivery to reach the seller.I am more worried about what to do if the seller does not refund the jade for various reasons after receiving it. Should the travel agency bear the responsibility? If there is any problem with the late refund, the travel society will not shirk its responsibility. However, it is indicated in the contract that Party A will return the goods, and Party B will handle the return and advance the refund. Therefore, when I communicated with the travel agency with the contents of this contract, the travel agency still asked me to contact the seller to mail it myself, and the travel agency did not accept express delivery.

1. Travel agencies are almost the same. If you are better, you can find a private tour guide. The price is not expensive. It is about 100 yuan on the same day, and the service is good.

2. Now, you should wear summer clothes, short-sleeved shirts, shorts and sandals, slippers, or skirts. The weather here is 37-38 degrees every day. It is best to bring a sun umbrella. When the sun is strong, it can shelter you from the rain.

3, it is necessary to pay attention to sun protection and heatstroke prevention.
