3.China is becoming more and more popular as a tourist destination.When it first re-opened to ordinary foreigners in the early 1980s,it was really a place for the adventurous at heart.Nowadays it is much easier to get to and there are many more choices for traveling around.But is it necessary to travel with a group?What are the advantages of booking with a small group travel organizer?
Usually a travel package includes transport,tickets and accommodation and,often,much more besides.All of these arrangements are handled to save you from the chores-research,selection,queuing,etc.-so that you spend more time seeing and doing the things that you want.
Organized tours usually include local guides at sites so that you get a good knowledge of the site and all that is relevant.In a group you will have various levels of support.Your tour guide and group will be on hand to help with day-to-day issues and there should be some form of organization to deal with major issues.You should be provided with a number to call in emergencies.
However,there are also some disadvantages.Tour packages have a set aitinerary nd by following this your freedom is restricted to some extent.You may feel that there isn't enough time at some sites.Since travel companies aim to make a profit then you can be sure that the prices they charge are higher than if you make the arrangements yourself.The question is,are you willing to pay that for the convenience?
Tour packages suit many people but not all.Only when you know how much you value the respective(各自的)factors can you make a decision.Typically,foreign visitors to China find themselves more willing to join a tour because the language makes it more difficult to travel independently than elsewhere.For some,that is exactly the sort of challenge that will make their travels special.
