What do I need to check if the travel agency is legal and safe?
First, understand the business scope of travel agencies. According to the Regulations on Travel Agency Management, the business scope of international travel agencies includes inbound tourism business and domestic tourism business; The business scope of domestic travel agencies is limited to domestic tourism business. With the formation of overseas travel market, the National Tourism Administration approved 67 international travel agencies nationwide 1000 to franchise China citizens to travel abroad at their own expense according to comprehensive indicators such as the number of inbound tourists attracted by international travel agencies. When registering, tourists can ask the travel agency to show the travel agency business license issued by the tourism department and the business license issued by the industrial and commercial department. If the registration point is with the travel agency headquarters, you can ask for the original; If the registration point is far from the travel agency headquarters, the office address and contact telephone number of the travel agency headquarters should be provided as required for verification. The reception point of overseas travel agencies must have a certificate approved by the tourism department. Second, choose a good brand. Every travel agency has its own name and brand. Just as we choose home appliances, we require full functions, good quality, high reputation and good after-sales service. A good travel agency tries its best to establish its image in the market. Starting from this year, travel agencies should gradually implement qualification rating. Looking at the brand of travel agency, generally speaking, if the travel agency operates by affiliated or simple contracting, with two desks and a fax machine, its reputation will not be too good. China Travel Agency, China Travel Agency and China Youth Travel Agency are all backbone travel agencies established earlier in China. With the development of tourism, a large number of travel agencies with good reputation and high service quality have been growing for many years. Third, the price cannot be used to decide the trade-off. It depends on whether the quotation of the travel agency is reasonable, so we might as well make an investigation. Generally speaking, there are two kinds of quotations from travel agencies: one is all-inclusive price, including transportation, accommodation, catering, tickets and so on. The other is the small package price, that is, only part of the expenses or expenses in a certain trip are included. Therefore, tourists should not blindly emphasize who is cheap when signing up, but must ask clearly which parts are included in the charge price and which ones need to take care of themselves. Some "Wild Horse" travel agencies try their best to lower their quotations, sometimes ridiculously low. Pay special attention, he must have set a trap for you to drill. Fourth, don't believe in false advertisements. At present, people travel mainly by watching advertisements, because this is the most direct way. When reading the advertisement, you should read the name, address, license number and business scope of the travel agency clearly. In case of travel agency breach of contract or service quality problems, these are important basis for complaints. Attention should be paid to the following situations: First, there is no agency name and address, only the quotation bank and contact telephone number. Most of these advertisements are made by travel agencies or contracting departments. He is afraid to reveal his identity publicly because he is afraid of being investigated. The second is to operate overseas tourism in disguised form in the form of business inspection, passport agency and air tickets. Third, the tourism business is operated in the name of a consulting company, and the rights and interests of tourists cannot be well protected, because consulting companies are not travel agencies and the Regulations on the Administration of Travel Agencies cannot control them.
