Renmin University of China, Master Kong Zhangyan reading is already a veteran of the "backpack customer. " Sophomore, she went to Qinghai from Beijing alone. Each selected destination, holes will be looking for books about the local customs and landscape history of the location, check online tickets , accommodation, catering information, but also to been to these places backpacker advisory information.
"Spare stock of knowledge, his is an expert, do not look for guided tours." For a few years of travel experience, small holes, said, "As a backpacker, we must advance in the physical, mental, physical information and knowledge to do reserves good preparation, so as to protect the traveling comfort, happiness and safety. "
Holes that visitors to any destination all want to enjoy some of the landscapes or cultural thing, and this requires both similar interests with the tourists, but also guarantee a certain time, the team travel is difficult to do this. In particular, the team repeatedly exposed forced to travel for shopping, zero or negative fare and so on, people began to travel more and more rational treatment and personalized self-service tour is bound to become hot markets. Transport, accommodation and other hardware improvements, but also an objective for the visitors choose to provide the conditions for self-tours.
See the potential of self-help travel market, travel agencies , travel e-commerce websites have also involved a number of travel agencies to provide the momentum for tourists launched air tickets and accommodation services for semi-self-tour - "free exercise."
"We have the free exercise of business more than 60% annual growth." CYTS official said, for the Maldives, Saipan and other resorts in the "pure play group" were well received. Ctrip Market Communications, Malaysia Star, at present the use of the free exercise of the number of visitors Ctrip has reached millions of people each year, in Shanghai, Beijing, Hangzhou and other economically more developed cities, free exercise has been the mainstream of tourism.

Wang Yi-fan, do post-editing in a television station. 3 years, he and his wife each summer to travel. He is also a self-travel fans, but busy, can not everything hands-on. Therefore, each trip he would choose the free exercise of a travel network services.

Such as to Sanya travel, team travel only a few hotels and a few lines, is free to be able to offer the choice of hundreds of hotel love how how to live on to live very freely. And if the words of outbound tourism, car hire, visas, insurance, all these things travel agent network, but also got together a very inexpensive way ticket , the absolute value for money. Next year I ready to go diving in Bali, will definitely choose the free exercise. "
False information, and where the hearts of ambush
"We wanted to enjoy a personalized holiday and residential hotel did not expect it to play a 'encounters'." Not long ago, Beijing, Xiao Yan and love from the south somewhere, "Walks" to back its hard big v. .
Before departure, Xiao Yan in the "Mix" forum to find a local hotel, the picture set off trees, gurgling streams, very beautiful. See users of the message, and most say "good." Xiao Yan G the order without hesitation.
Really got there, Xiao Yan was blindsided: trees, streams gone, the yard filled with cement and sand. Hotel is expanding the original construction of the noise ringing off the hook. Xiao Yan want to check out, but because of the remoteness of tourist attractions, the surrounding hotels generally full, several struggles, but could not find a suitable place. Seeing lateness of the hour, Xiao Yan couple had to stay here, had a good feeling gone.
Xiao Yan said: "Walks the 'donkey' are mainly collected from the major tourist sites of local tourist routes, attractions and accommodation and other basic information layout can watch from various travel forums, with a hotel, said good and said, all bad, some hotels even registered a lot of 'vest', online publishing false information, attacking each other, rob tourists. this forum, we visitors can really be careful. "
China Consumer Association, the sources said, as the majority of tourists is the first time in a Mu Didi Qian Wang, the local situation Bingbuliaojie, some people Ji Shi Zai Wang Shang collect some information, Tai Duo Ye superficial, very Rong Yi fooled. Many unscrupulous businessmen for self-guided tourists, "fragmented" nature, designed with a confusing number of consumer traps. Afterwards, many tourists complained to the Consumers Association, however, due to self-tour of consumer behavior is mostly scattered, tourists do not pay attention or simply can not keep spending the evidence, like defenders very difficult.
Consumer association from all over the admissibility of situation, self-guided scenic complaints focus on management, catering accommodation, transportation, and integrity and other aspects. Among them, the "tourist hotel hype", "scenic drivers, wild speculations," "Black tour hard to prevent" several situations such as the most common.
In addition, tourists choose to travel Zijia You may also encountered traffic problems on the road. For example, traffic and road conditions throughout the timely release of information can not, there is no clear road signs, gas stations irrational, vehicle maintenance and emergency service difficulties.
● strong guidance, re-regulate the establishment of security system -
Service is not just " air + hotel "
Data show that the free exercise of the western developed countries, 70%, much higher than 30% of team travel. Developed countries, transport and other ancillary services better, to make travel more secure and convenient self-service. But in China, there are still a number of critical self-tour, including accurate access to information, improved infrastructure, personal face of emergencies such as emergency response capacity; If independent travel abroad, as well as visa difficulties, the problem of higher costs.
Experts said the depth of self-help tourism is tourism, tourists need to arrange everything themselves. In recent years, hotels and restaurants opened on-line booking, professional travel site rise, urban transport development, electronic maps and communication technology to enhance both the development of self-help travel conditions. However, due to a variety of information in different ways, misleading visitors.
Tourists recommended tourist attractions can be established on-line "self-tour service center" to provide information such as the scenic tourist inquiries, travel tickets, hotel rooms, vehicles, air ticket booking, tour package of complaints received, etc., enhance the services of the authority.
As the outdoor distress incidents have occurred, independent travel is also of concern in the security. This year in June, Xi'an and Harbin's 5 "donkey" by a leader who Qingdao, lost during the climb Laoshan. 6 trapped Laoshan night. Until the next morning, they are only at the local police, fire, resort staff were rescued under the joint search.
Experts expressed the hope that government laws and regulations as soon as possible, to strengthen industry self-guided tour, norms, self-help as soon as travel security system. Tour organizers on the implementation of self-accreditation and access system, and all kinds of safety risk assessment Mix line and publicity.
"For travel agents , the rise of independent travel and an opportunity. "CYTS responsible person that the different ages and occupations, have different requirements for travel, price, rhythm, quality, time, display different capacity, travel agencies to speed up the construction of tourism e-commerce websites, to offer tourists a more individualized, personalized holiday products.
On the one hand, we should grasp the changing tastes of tourists, make efforts to meet market demand, the introduction of travel characteristics, depth, travel, leisure travel, etc.; the other hand, should see that travelers leave home to go home from the process, all relevant items are the tourism sector can provide services within, instead of just the " ticket + hotel ", but should be for self-guided set up a separate business processes, information and consulting in tourism to provide more services while playing travel agencies in the size of procurement advantages, really help the tourists to do free exercise "casual, group the same price."
