How to legally organize such an outdoor hiking group instead of a travel agency?

It is not necessary to set up a travel agency to organize an outdoor hiking group. The following are several possible ways to legally organize outdoor hiking groups: 1. Social groups or clubs: You can create a social group or an outdoor club where people with similar interests can go hiking together. The establishment of social organizations or clubs needs to comply with local laws and regulations and related requirements, such as registration, tax payment, and articles of association. 2. Team leader qualification: If you plan to organize hiking activities and want to provide guidance and team leader services to others, you can consider obtaining relevant team leader qualification and certification. Some regions or countries may require the tour leader to hold the corresponding license or certificate to ensure that the tour leader has the necessary safety knowledge and skills. 3. Risk management and liability insurance: In order to ensure the safety of participants, it is recommended to conduct risk assessment and management, and formulate corresponding safety measures and emergency plans. In addition, consider taking out liability insurance to deal with possible accidents. 4. Abide by laws and regulations: Ensure that local laws, regulations and rules and regulations are observed when organizing activities, including but not limited to the regulations on the use of public places and laws and regulations on protecting the natural environment. 5. Openness, transparency and disclaimer: It is suggested that in the process of organizing activities, sufficient information and explanations should be provided to let participants know the nature, difficulty and risks of the activities, and let them sign disclaimers to clarify their informed consent. Please note that the above only provides some suggestions, and the specific organization methods and requirements may be different according to national, regional and local laws and regulations. It is recommended to consult relevant local departments or legal professionals before organizing outdoor hiking groups to ensure that your activities are legal and compliant.
