Today’s society develops faster and faster, the level of family income increases year by year. According to statistics, education expenditure, medical expenditure, food expenditure, clothing expenditure and living expenditure are the major expenditure types of residents, among which food expenditure accounts for the largest proportion. With the improvement of our economy, the proportion of people’s expenditure on food is decreasing, while the proportion of people’s expenditure on spiritual level is increasing.
Nowadays, young people have car loans and mortgage loans. Although under the influence of the epidemic, our consumption concept has become more rational, some high consumption is decreasing, and the proportion of spending on non-essential goods is decreasing, but we still need to pay back the loan every month, which is also a large amount of expenditure. Therefore, the life and work pressure of contemporary young people is very great. They should work conscientiously on weekdays and travel together with family and friends on leisure days. With the rise of the tertiary industry in our country, a variety of industries show the trend of integrated development. Tourism has been developing better and better in recent years. Rural Tours around cities and Internet celebrity city Tours are becoming popular, and many tourists want to clock in before leisure time. We can travel with friends and family, or we can travel with a group.
What are the differences between traveling alone and traveling with a group? The first one is the different means of transportation. We can choose the means of transportation at will. We can drive by ourselves, or we can travel by train or plane. Of course, driving in time will be more free than train and plane, when we suddenly remember to put the bag on the train, plane may not have a ticket at the right time, driving will not have to consider the problem of buying tickets.
If we travel with a tour group, the tour guide will send the itinerary plan to the passengers before we go out, we need to arrive at the destination in a specified time point, and go to the destination with the tour guide. The travel modes of the tour group are also varied. If the distance is short, the tour group will take the bus; if the distance is long, it may take the high-speed rail. If the tour group is traveling abroad, the tourists may first take the high-speed rail to the transit city and then take the plane to the destination country. Of course, we don’t have to consider these transportation problems. The travel agency will discuss with us when we sign the contract.
Then there is the question of ticket prices. If you travel, after arriving at the destination, the cost of hotel, catering, tickets, transportation are needed to own out, we are usually unable to buy a group ticket. While traveling with a tour group, the cost of hotel accommodation, catering, scenic spot tickets are included in our expenses, if there is no additional consumption, we do not need to pay more money. Another great advantage of following a tour is that we just have to play as we please, have a good rest, enjoy good food, and everything else will be ready for us.
We may not be able to search the local special authentic food, but the tour guide is very experienced, they know the local food characteristics and attractions, if there is anything to know, we just ask the tour guide. If we travel on our own, we need to pack the things we need to take with us. If it’s a road trip, it’s fine. If we take a train or a plane, we also need to think about the space in the car and see if the things we bring can fit on the shelves. If you are traveling with a group, the tour guide will usually tell you in advance what is provided by the travel agency and what you need to prepare yourself, and when you fly, the ticket usually includes the amount of shipping.
Road trips are also different from the routes planned by tour groups. For our own travel, we can arrange the travel route according to our own time and the weather conditions of the day, especially if we travel with children, the children may have a lunch break, after lunch, we are not suitable to arrange the travel items, and when the children have a good rest, we will carry out the next play, so that it is more comfortable and free.
If you travel with a group, the itinerary is predetermined and often cannot be changed according to one person’s wishes. Moreover, there is a time limit when visiting a destination. For example, if we climb a mountain for one to two hours, we need to gather at the foot of the mountain. We must browse according to the established time plan, so as to avoid delaying others’ journey. So it is not suitable for a family with children to travel in a group.
