First, choose a regular travel agency The second is to shop around for quotations, the third is to choose those with good service reputation, and the fourth is to carefully understand the travel contract. Fifth, pay attention to tourism insurance. Finally, the problem of tourism shopping is clear.
Other precautions can be learned from travel agencies. The key is to remember several important issues mentioned above, so as to safeguard your rights and interests.
See the qualification of travel agency
Travel agencies are divided into different types. International or domestic agencies, indicating the scope of business. If it is an outbound tourism, experts from the School of Tourism, Beijing Modern Management University should pay attention to whether travel agencies have the right to operate outbound tourism. At present, the outbound tourist destinations of Chinese citizens approved by the state include Hong Kong, Macao, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, South Korea, Australia and New Zealand. The main travel agencies approved by the state to have outbound tourism business qualifications are: China International Travel Service Head Office, China Travel Service Head Office, CYTS Holdings Co., Ltd., China Comfort International Travel Service and their branches in Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong, Jiangsu, Shaanxi, Hubei, Yunnan, Fujian, Zhejiang and other places.
Look at the background of travel agency industry
That is, whether the travel agency's company is mainly engaged in tourism or other projects, tourism is just a newly expanded field. In comparison, the latter is less qualified and has less energy, which is obviously inferior in strength.
Look at the advertisements of travel agencies
This move is the easiest and most effective. Advertising constitutes an important part of the credibility of travel agencies. It is certain that a travel agency that does not advertise does not have good strength. It is necessary to carefully observe the level of media on which advertisements appear, as well as the frequency, length, location or time period of their appearance. These reflect the reputation and strength of travel agencies from one side. The fourth one is about the temperament of the salesperson. Observe whether the staff of the travel agency promoting products are well-trained and capable, and then we can infer something about the situation of the travel agency.
Look at the promise of the salesperson.
All salespeople will talk about how excellent their travel products are. However, once questioned, salesmen from informal travel agencies often say, "We are friends, can I cheat you" or "I promise I can't be wrong", which sounds hot but actually has no use in personal name. The promoters of regular companies will prove it by their previous performance of travel agencies, such as "we organized and received XX large groups in XX". Let the facts speak and listen reassuringly.
Look at the promotional materials of travel agencies
A well printed and informative brochure or product description is an important manifestation of the quality of travel products, while a few simple printed documents can hardly make people miss the guarantee of good quality in the realization of travel products.
Remember the phone numbers of local tourism bureaus. If you are not very clear about the qualification of travel agencies, you can call them and go to their website to check relevant information. If a website is not updated for a long time, it is mostly fake.
