How to make money in tourist destinations?
Ground connection refers to a form of work in which travel agencies in tourist destinations take advantage of local people to provide reception services for tour groups organized by foreign travel agencies. Literally, it means "local reception" and also refers to local reception staff.
One of the ground connection jobs: picking up and dropping off tourists
Go to the railway station, bus station and airport to pick up tourists. If you see a person holding a blank piece of paper with his name on it at the exit of the railway station, you will basically pick it up. After receiving the tourists, check their names and numbers and then take them to the designated accommodation. The next day, the individual passengers were sent to the designated distribution center on time and handed over to the tour guide.
The second job of ground connection: pick up tickets and deliver them.
If a tourist looks for a travel agency to book a ticket, he will pick it up and deliver it on time.
Whether it is a group agency or a land agency, the profit mode of the two is nothing more than more trips and kickbacks for each list.
Group club:
Refers to the tour groups (including wholesalers and retailers) in the source area. Popular speaking, the group club is to help guests contact the car, the tour guide, arrange the itinerary and so on. Simply put, it is a group, which organizes tourists together to form a team and then goes out to travel together.
Ground agency:
It is a travel agency responsible for reception and service in the tourist destination; A package tour agency is a travel agency where tourists sign contracts.
Service advantages of land agency:
First, the ground agency should be quick when making an offer, because when the general tour agency is looking for a price, there are always guests looking for a price, and the tour agency also wants to report it to the guests at the first time.
Second, when the land agency offers a price, it should be in line with the local actual situation. Don't think that only by offering a low price will the group agency choose itself. This is not the case. When we choose a land agency, under the same standard, we won't choose the lowest quotation, because the car, the house and the meal are definitely different (after all, the wool is on the sheep, and we all know this). For example, although all the houses are listed, they may be old or in a bad location. Car: Although they are all the same brand, their condition is different, and the degree of old and new is also different (this is also the feeling after many injuries).
Third, when choosing the land agency, the tour agency will not choose the highest quotation (the cost is too high, it is difficult to quote the guests, and it is easy to lose the group, so the land agency can also quote a few more prices when quoting. Under the same standard, the rooms and cars are different, so that the tour agency can have a choice range, which requires the ground agency to pay attention to certain strategies when quoting. Moreover, the plan should be very familiar with the relevant business, and the quotation should be fast. And we should pay attention to this group from beginning to end. Don't finish the quotation. When the group agency communicates with you again, it can't find anyone, so the group agency will look for other partners.
4. When making the itinerary quotation for the tour group, make the itinerary as detailed as possible (including the driving distance, ticket price, etc., including the number of meals) and regular (in tabular form, so that people can see it at a glance). If possible, give an example of the flights or trips that return to the big traffic, and indicate the time. This provides a complete itinerary quotation for the tour group, which is convenient for the tour group to organize and report to the guests as soon as possible and win time for the tour group.
The difference between a group agency and a land agency:
1. China's travel agencies were initially divided into first-class, second-class and third-class agencies, which were in charge of the International Tourism Administration and local tourism bureaus. After 2000, the National Tourism Administration no longer specifically managed the affairs of travel agencies, and all of them were handed over to local tourism bureaus. Travel agencies were divided into domestic agencies and international agencies after 2000, that is, international agencies were divided into two types: those with exit rights and those without exit rights.
2. At present, travel agencies in various parts of China are divided into tour groups and offices, also known as wholesalers, distributors and agents, and local agencies such as peers. Tour groups refer to travel agencies that sign travel contracts with guests at their departure places, local agencies refer to travel agencies that receive tourists from tour groups at their departure places, and offices refer to offices or agents of local agencies located in their departure cities. Such offices do not have illegal business rights, but there are some clubs and illegal travel agencies.
