What are the advantages and disadvantages if you go on a tour group?

Advantage analysis. Travelers independent "group" mostly online group, followed by colleagues and friends and relatives. With the further implementation of paid leave, with *** with the interests and hobbies, the pursuit of freedom, autonomy, personality and comfort travelers will gradually "group" travel as their main travel mode. This way of traveling has the following advantages:

1, free to choose the time of the group. In the process of travel excursion, travelers have more autonomy in the arrangement of time and the rhythm of travel, travel comfort can be better guaranteed.

2, can save travel costs. The more people there are, the lower the price of a package tour will naturally be. If the number of people is not enough, to be individually chartered, the price will certainly be very high, but not willing to participate in the kind of more rigid, the quality is relatively poor, the freedom is more restricted to the bulk of the group, so you can take the way of the online group, not only to reduce the cost, but also to enjoy the individual chartered tours to bring a variety of benefits.

3, can find the right travel companion, so that the journey to add endless fun. Regardless of whether it is an online group or a group of colleagues, friends and relatives, after the group of travelers in the interests of hobbies, personal qualities, cultural tastes and other aspects of the relatively more consistent, and therefore easier to get along with each other, the journey will be more enjoyable.

4, can be more free to choose the appropriate route, and even design their own travel routes, or the existing travel routes according to their own requirements to make some changes. You have more autonomy in choosing the destination and arranging the tour route.

Disadvantage analysis. As a new thing, tourists "group" behavior is bound to have certain defects and loopholes, to the online group, for example, its own existence of the following shortcomings:

1, the reliability of the online group information is difficult to guarantee. The information provided by the initiator of the group is not necessarily accurate, that is to say, it is possible to provide false information.

2,The implementation of online group information is difficult to guarantee. Most of the agreements between the initiators and the respondents of online tours are verbal agreements on the arrangement of the tour routes and the sharing of the tour costs, which is a big risk.

3, the security of online group tours has hidden dangers. If you purchase only part of the tour route from a travel agency or buy only "air ticket" + "hotel" without a professional guide, it is difficult to guarantee the safety of the life of travelers who lack travel experience or travel knowledge.

4, the insurance company can not be comprehensive protection. According to the relevant provisions, if the private self-organized tourism, many accidents can not be claimed, such as flash floods is a natural disaster, can not be avoided, coupled with the responsibility is not clear, no one for them to assume the obligation to pay compensation, the victims of the responsibility for their own. If the victims have a work unit and have insurance in the unit, they can claim compensation from the insurance company; if the incident happened in a tourist attraction or an area under the direct management of a unit, such as a park, then the park has to bear some responsibility. However, article 9 of the rider of the travel personal accident insurance provides that the insurance company is not responsible for "the insured engaging in high-risk sports such as scuba diving, parachute jumping, rock-climbing sports, adventure activities, martial arts competitions, wrestling competitions, stunt performances, horse racing and car racing".

5,The online group lacks an effective regulatory mechanism. At this stage, there is no specialized department to effectively monitor the effectiveness of online group information, online group tourists' life safety and other aspects of the security of online group tourists, for online group tourists to travel after the occurrence of various disputes and the lack of corresponding laws to be ruled and resolved.
