What better way to travel than to join a group? Want to hear your experience?
Years of travel experience have made me adapt to a person's free travel, so personally, I think the best way to travel is to travel independently.
1. Traveling with a group
The only time I traveled with a group in my life was in Hainan. At that time, because there were many people and all kinds of ideas, I simply signed up for a group tour around the island. In order to avoid the trouble of those low-priced groups, a luxury group was specially reported in Haikou, saying it was pure fun.
A beautiful tour guide is very enthusiastic and talkative. When I got on the bus, I found that there were not many people, so the car began to spin around the city ... At first, I didn't care. Later, I found that people were constantly bringing three or two tourists to the tour guide, as if transferring something ... I was a little anxious and began to doubt the experience of this trip.
Second, the experience of joining the tour group
As expected, the tour guide began to brainwash people. When she was newly married, she took this tour group for everyone, and then she showed off all kinds of newly married jewelry, all of which were Hainan specialties, pearls, tourmalines, obsidian ... all kinds of detailed introductions, and then what Zhao Benshan and other stars wore and what the effect was ...
Not to mention shopping, the group meal you eat makes you want to vomit. The famous Wenchang chicken just doesn't know anything. If you cook it with water and put some salt, the seafood is cheap. It's a disability to have a crooked head. It's good to get a fish that smells like something. For fun, I took it to a private botanical garden to visit, and then paid for a shemale performance ... diving for 25/ person, and then asked the price of diving by the sea, and all of them had 5. Of course, there are also people who fill the oxygen tanks with air.
The only thing that didn't cost money was the stones that Sanya saw, and the incredible transfer ball that was made by a private Feng Shui master in Li Ka-shing at a high price. The most disgusting thing is Nanshan. Under the nose of Guanyin in Nanhai, everyone was brainwashed. Everyone was taken to a room, and the temple masters visited fortune-telling and fortune-telling. Few people like me were not cheated. Even so, I have already lost any interest in playing. This is my only experience with a group. I have never been with a group since then, and even I have no interest in Hainan.
Third, free travel
At first, I liked hiking, so I often went hiking with some friends with the same hobbies. From the beginning with familiar friends, I made an appointment directly on the Internet or signed up directly on the Internet. All of them were led by experienced old donkeys, and they also benefited a lot and mastered a lot of outdoor knowledge and skills. Make an appointment with friends or register online. After all, due to time constraints, there are often conflicts in time due to work and family, which gradually leads to the excessive travel alone.
Traveling alone, without a team leader, you have to learn to worry about everything by yourself. At first, you can't adapt to booking hotels, tickets and itineraries. So, in order to save your mind, you choose to travel freely by machine and wine, especially for long-distance travel abroad. But at the same time, I began to learn while walking, experience slowly and improve slowly.
With the increase of experience and accumulation, it is gradually found that the machine-added wine can be done by itself, and the customized service is economical, but it is not completely reliable. Moreover, time limits you and you don't have much freedom. Therefore, it eventually fell to complete freedom.
Third, pure freedom
Everything is divided into two parts, so is the way of travel, and there are two sides to choosing any way. Complete freedom will make you more free. You can leave whenever you want and stop whenever you want, but you have to worry about all aspects of the journey, and you have to face emergencies and unexpected situations alone. How to choose varies from person to person.
as a person who has experienced various kinds of tours, he finally chose to travel completely. At first, three or five people traveled freely, making plans in advance and taking care of the machine and wine themselves. Even colleagues and friends have differences in personality and hobbies due to their work and family. In the end, most of the time they are reduced to a person's free travel.
a person's travel, no matter far away, at home or abroad, is free and easy. When you meet fellow travelers on the journey, go forward together and go their separate ways, the Taoist voice is cherished. This choice may be related to personal character, like quiet, independent, tired of nagging, and those who complain about each other when something goes wrong, life is not easy, and it is hard to come out and relax, so why bother yourself? Of course, you have to be mentally prepared to face loneliness.
In short, what kind of travel mode you choose is related to your personality and various conditions, and the one that suits you is the best.
When it comes to traveling abroad, some people will immediately think of travel agencies and tour groups. Traveling with a group was once welcomed by many people because of its advantages of peace of mind. Today, in major scenic spots, we can still see many tour groups get together and listen to the tour guide's explanation.
of course, while having such advantages, the group tour also exposes some problems. It also happens from time to time that black-hearted travel agencies force consumption, deliberately go to some low cost performance and some consumption places. This also makes many people who used to like to travel with the group hesitate to sign up for the group when traveling.
Nowadays, with the development of Internet economy, group tours are no longer a necessary way for people to travel, and many new ways of travel are emerging, which are also loved by many people. Let's take a look at it together. Free travel: eat, travel, stop and go
If the hot words in the tourism industry are selected, free travel can be regarded as one. In recent years, free travel has won the favor of many people because of its freedom, and has become the first choice for many people to travel. The so-called freedom, the theme is freedom. People book their own hotels, tickets and air tickets, choose their favorite scenic spots and travel modes, eat and travel, and stop at will. Of course, free travel requires us to prepare for travel in advance while having the characteristics of high cost performance. Go on road trip: It's convenient and quick to leave when you say it
With the rise of free travel, go on road trip has increasingly become one of the main modes of tourism. Go on road trip and free travel have a common feature, that is, freedom. The only difference is that go on road trip needs to drive to its destination by itself, while free travellers usually go by train or plane. For some areas with inconvenient transportation, go on road trip is particularly convenient, which can break through the problem of limited transportation. It can be said that it is convenient and quick to leave. Free travel+group tour: freedom and peace of mind coexist
Free travel and group tour seem to be two contradictory ways, but in fact they can also be combined. We can generally follow the method of free travel, but we can also choose to temporarily report short-term tour groups to specific cities and scenic spots, which not only saves worry, but also has great choice space in the choice of scenic spots and restaurants. There are many discounts for many scenic spots to buy tickets, so this way is also an affordable way to travel.
Of course, with the development of the times, there may be more ways of traveling in the future. Each of these travel modes has its own advantages and disadvantages. When choosing, we should choose according to our own situation and preferences.
at the weekend, Brother Hua came to answer: I think you can also choose free travel and semi-self-help travel. Free travel won't get lost. Just plan your travel route in advance and plan your accommodation and catering.
1. Free travel is a new way of traveling, commonly known as "machine plus wine" in Taiwan Province, that is, air tickets plus hotels. Like group tours, travel agencies arrange accommodation and transportation, but free travel is not accompanied by a tour guide, and meals are also arranged by passengers themselves. In addition, free travel is different from semi-self-help travel, because passengers are restricted in the choice of airline flights and hotels, but the flexibility of itinerary is the same as that of semi-self-help travel.
features: free travel is a form of self-help travel with vacation and leisure as the main purpose. The products are a series of package products carefully made for tourists with air tickets+hotels+visas as the core. Free-acting customers provide great freedom. Tourists can freely choose the scenic spots they want to visit, the hotels they want to stay in and the date of their trip according to their time, interests and economic conditions. Generally, the price is higher than that of the package tour products of travel agencies, but it is much more favorable than that of individual travelers who travel completely by themselves.
Advantages: Free travel is more free and convenient, the schedule can be adjusted at will, and you can change your mind on the tour. Because there are no shopping and self-funded projects, tourists' money can be spent on the "cutting edge" in their free travel. Wherever the most noteworthy scenic spots are, they will play there, which is free time.
2. Semi-self-help tour: It refers to the travel mode in which the travel agency only arranges one or several of the six links of food, accommodation, transportation, travel, shopping and entertainment for you in a single travel activity, and the other links are arranged by you according to your own preferences.
Generally, the elderly, children and foreign tourists will choose the whole group tour, and it is also recommended to choose the whole group tour in places where the reception capacity of domestic tourist destinations is immature and the tourism market is chaotic.
Semi-self-help tour is a kind of travel mode between the travel agency's group tour and the backpacker's self-help tour, which is characterized in that the travel agency is only responsible for transportation, accommodation and other links, while tourists are allowed to arrange their own tours, meals and so on.
semi-self-help tour = free travel+group tour, so you don't have to plan your own transportation and accommodation between different tourist spots. Tourists only need to plan their own visits to different tourist sites, and transportation and accommodation are handled by local travel agencies or other travel agencies.
years of travel experience have made me adapt to and like traveling alone. For me personally, being able to travel freely is the greatest happiness.
Traveling alone, I like to be quiet and unconstrained. I am used to worrying about myself, booking hotels, tickets and itineraries. I like to travel long distances and entertain myself.
a person's travel, regardless of the north and south of the great river, inside and outside the Great Wall, is free and easy. When you meet fellow travelers on the journey, you don't like others' nagging, and those who complain about each other when something goes wrong, and finally come out to relax, why bother? Of course, you should also be prepared to face loneliness.
what kind of travel mode you choose is related to your own personality, just what suits you
.
In addition to traveling with a group, there should be many ways to travel, such as self-help circle tour, family go on road trip, and individual travel.
1. Individual group tour
According to my travel experience, there are actually two forms of group tour: one is low-priced group tour (shopping group), and the other is high-priced pure tour group.
Low-priced shopping groups: Generally, the initial quotation is very low, but in the course of traveling, we often encounter the phenomenon that tour guides take tourists to shopping shops to sell goods to tourists. Some will force tourists to shop, and if some tourists don't buy it, the tour guide will "speak disrespectfully". This will not only hurt self-esteem, but also affect the mood of sightseeing.
Although the phenomenon of low-priced group of compulsory shopping has been curbed after rectification, compulsory shopping has only changed its way.
There is no good thing about traveling at a low price. Travel agencies also talk about costs, and tour guide fees must be paid by people.
I think the low-priced group itself is a "pit". If you choose this pit, you have to jump without regret. If you buy goods that you don't like very much, the total cost of participating in such a group is often much higher than that of a high-priced pure tour group. At the same time, the effect of tourism is not very ideal.
because I don't like shopping, I don't usually join such a group.
high-priced package tour: the high price is relative, and the route can be agreed with the travel agency * * *, and there is no shopping during the whole package tour.
if I travel with a group, I usually take part in such a group trip.
Second, circle self-help tour
It means that people or families with basically the same hobbies and interests voluntarily form a small tourism team at any time.
self-determined route, self-driving vehicle, AA system.
generally, there are about 1 people, 3-4 families and 3 vehicles, and the time is about 3-5 days.
of course, the specific situation depends on the time, funds and other factors of each family and individual in the team.
III. Family go on road trip
A family, a car ... decides its own route, is not in a hurry, parks wherever it wants to play, and goes wherever the scenery is good, and is free as it pleases.
the time is usually 1 to 3 days. It is better to visit the countryside and Zhou Bianyou.
Fourth, personal freedom
is a person's travel, which requires enough courage.
The advantage is freedom. It can be at home or abroad. You can go wherever you want, and you can take whatever way you want, such as flying, taking a train, walking ...
However, individual travel also has many disadvantages, such as loneliness and insecurity.
This kind of travel is generally suitable for people who are younger, in good health and can tolerate loneliness.
I don't advocate traveling alone, especially those who are older and in poor health.
Find your own route, take your own bus or plane, and you can travel by train. When you get to your destination, you can have Didi Express and enjoy cycling.
