Tech Life Chapter 1209-1210

 Chapter 1209

Lian Qing explained, "It's like this, boss, our Xiangan Expressway Company construction standards are very high, the cost is high, seven-seater below a class of cars, the toll is charged 33 yuan per kilometre, which is considered lower than the normal charge of 5 yuan,......40-seater passenger cars, 8 yuan per kilometre, all in accordance with the province's standards ."


        After hearing this, Li Linfei stood up and paced back and forth in the conference room, thinking, and after a while, said, "If that happens, tourists take a bus, long-distance buses usually charge a ticket fee of 3-4 yuan per kilometre, and the cost of the ticket needed for 400 kilometres is about 120 to 160 yuan, which is considered very high."


        "Small car charges can be charged in accordance with the general standard, the money to drive and buy a car, a round trip of more than two hundred transit fees those owners can also afford."


        "Under the same footfall, too many small cars anyway, environmental pollution will be more serious, I still want to restrict the small car pass, all take the big bus is better."


        "We could lower the toll for buses, like the highway toll rate of about 8 yuan per kilometre for buses with 40 seats or more, which could be reduced to 5 yuan per kilometre, which could be reduced to 520 yuan for 400 kilometres, which would be roughly 13 yuan when spread over tourists."


        "Of course, we must limit the maximum ticket charge for all buses passing through Rong Ruo Expressway, which must be reduced by another 13 yuan per ticket on top of the original ticket charge. This would also have the advantage of promoting tourists to take buses, reducing the total traffic flow, reducing pollution and reducing the chances of highway obstruction."


        After all, there is a limit to the amount of traffic that the highway company can pass each year, but of course, that means that with full traffic, the fare is lowered and likewise more attractive to tourists."


        After listening to Li Linfei's suggestion, Guo Jie felt that his boss's idea was too ideal and suggested, "Boss, I think it's better if we just open a coach company and specialise in running the Xiangan Expressway, or control the fare."


        "Otherwise, even if we lower the bus tariff, it's not good to monitor it. Why don't we take the lead and force those buses to lower their charges."


        Li Linfei pondered for a moment, for him, making money is still secondary, mainly want to reduce the cost of tourists, reduce the total number of small cars through the car to exhaust while reducing environmental pollution.


        The most important thing is, Li Linfei also used to often ride the bus, many bus management is very poor, the car rarely clean hygiene, especially those seats, dirty, several years without cleaning are possible, there is a net secluded are feeling nauseous.


        If the air inside the bus is bad and the smell of gas and oil is heavy, after sitting for a few hours, the average person wants to vomit.


        Owning a travel company, a long distance passenger department should be added.


        Guo Jie's suggestion was very good, and Li Linfei strongly agreed: "OK, add a long-distance passenger department under the tourism company, a super bus can run two round trips a day no problem, pulling a hundred people into the scenic spot, then buy 500 cars for the time being, and increase it later if it's not enough."


        The crowd was shocked to hear that Li Linfei was planning to buy hundreds of superbuses at once, one superbus would cost millions, right?


        Guo Jie Jian gave a thumbs up and said, "Boss, you still have the guts! Buying five hundred superbuses in one go, the total amount would have to be several hundred million."


        "Five hundred superbuses is about right, five hundred vehicles transport about fifty thousand people into the scenic spot on a daily basis, but our scenic spot, at present, is planned to hold half a million people, but according to the current popularity, it is estimated to be bursting at the seams."


        Li Linfei smiled back and asked Lian Qing, "How are the tickets for the scenic spot priced?"


        Lian Qing explained, "There are eight attractions in total: Food City, Eco Park, Stone Forest, Maple Forest, Bamboo Sea, Ski Resort, Lavender Paradise, and Cherry Blossom World, and all the attractions that charge a fee except for Eco Park and Food City."


        "The entrance fee for the Stone Forest attraction is RMB 50, the Maple Forest, Bamboo Sea, Lavender Paradise and Cherry Blossom World are all RMB 30, and the ski resort entrance fee is RMB 250."


        "An eight-attraction pass, on the other hand, is RMB 400. It's very cheap compared to the entrance fees for famous attractions across the country - after all, our scenic spots are large in scale and investment, but the entrance fees are extremely low."


        "Other travel companies that take groups, the tickets are similarly not discounted."


        Li Linfei was not too sure about travel agencies buying scenic spot tickets.


        Next, An Xiran, who is more familiar with the operation of scenic spots, explained to the group that travel agencies reverse commission rebates and other issues.


        Generally speaking, the travel agency ticket policy, in the country's attractions are not the same.


        Small scenic spots will give travel agents discounts, take 50% off tickets or even lower ticket prices are possible, but as long as it is a regular attraction, it will never be less than 50% off!


        Because the big scenic spots investment costs are too big to build a good scenic spot to give.


        Most scenic spots are not travel agencies have a lot of discounts, only a small part of the discount, now more self-drive tourism, more this situation.


        There are 50% discount tickets, or simply to travel agencies do not pay, are very new need to promote, or false attractions to have.


        Famous attractions, such as Tianshan Tianchi in Jiangxi Province, Hanas, travel agents and tourists are the same price in high season!


        Normally, the travel agency's ticket discount depends on the annual performance, for example, to reach five thousand people, to give how much rebate, if not reached, at most is a sixteen free one, some scenic spots, even this is not.


        And many tourists can not be reimbursed for tickets, travel agencies have to invoice tourists for the full amount of tickets, that is more unlucky.


        Travel invoices, involving tax plus income tax, travel agency tickets is simply lost in.


        So that the travel agency to a famous scenic spot, if the group fee is very cheap, most of them are through other ways to make money.


        For example, must participate in shopping, take shopping rebates, bus ticket agency, attractions tickets rebates, insurance, group meals, hotel rebates, etc., all need a variety of means to fill, this is the strange status quo of China's tourism.


        More than 1000 yuan or a few hundred yuan to play hainan also double flight? Even the hotel money and a ticket are not enough to play? How is it possible!


        Cheap no good goods, play down, a few hundred tour fees, and then a nameless 2,000 yuan participation fee, a mess of fees, may end up spending thousands of dollars for no reason, it is normal, tourists' pockets unknowingly reduced.


        The tour guides are all very eloquent, eloquent, blowing up the sky, tourists are easily brainwashed.


        But in the future of technology tourism scenic spots, you can not reverse the group, buy tickets without discounts, the guide can not take the difference through shopping, because the tourists use all the service card.


Chapter 1210

Without a guide's permit, other tour buses cannot enter the scenic spots, not even into the Rongruo Highway.


        The only way for travel agencies to make a profit is to take a service fee.


        The future technology tourism company according to each local travel agency, to give a benchmark service fee guide price, visitors can check from the tourism company website.


        Then at the end of the day, depending on the service of the tour guide, tourists will be given a voluntary service fee or not on top of the original base service fee.


        For example, if a tourist in Guangzhou applies for a tour, and if the base service fee is one hundred yuan, in addition to paying the travel agency for the bus ticket and air ticket again, each person only needs to give the travel agency another one hundred yuan for the base service fee.


        The tour guide and the travel agency must also make it clear that the tourist needs to buy their own tickets to the attractions, hotel accommodation food and drink, etc.


        Tourists are able to score the tour guide through the service platform, and if they are satisfied they can reward the tour guide's travel agency (some of the money from the reward goes directly to the tour guide's travel agency, and a small portion goes to the tour guide.


        The future of technology tourism companies only charge 5% service fee and tax, tourism companies do not make money at all), to give cash tour guides that is not allowed, after all, travel agencies are not able to make money, who knows how much money into the pockets of guides.


        Of course, the tour guide can't get points from tourists who are not part of the tour, and the tour company has a series of methods to prevent the tour guide from exploiting the loophole.


        For example, once visitors arrive at the attraction, they can no longer be linked to a tour guide group because they have registered for a service card.


        The tour guide must return the tourist information to the tour before the tourist arrives at the attraction and the tourist can give the tour guide points.


        Tour companies also deal seriously with guides who take ratings through illegal means, and tourists can also report guides who have illegal means to take ratings through the smooth touring platform and get high rewards. With this measure alone, tour guides will not dare to take illegal means to get ratings.


        Only when the travel agency to get how many points, and the guide must reach a high star rating, the tour company will travel agency to give tickets rebate.


        Future technology tourism company so practices, through their own means, the publication of consumption transparency, one is to reduce the cost of tourism for tourists, to prevent travel agencies to charge indiscriminately.


        two is to regulate the scenic spots, to prevent tour guides and travel agencies to collect all kinds of tourism fees.


        The third is to promote the tour guides to work harder for tourists.


        After learning about the rebate situation at the attractions, Li Linfei asked Liu Zi, the head of the human resources department responsible for training tour guide certification, "General Liu, what is the current situation of tour guide certification?"


        Liu Zi reported, "At present, there are already guides from all over the country coming over for training and certification one after another, 10,000 people have been certified, and all travel agencies in Xiang Province have basically sent their guides over for training, but there are still not many travel agencies from other provinces, and it is estimated that they are still waiting in the wings."


        "Many travel agencies don't quite like our set, saying that no domestic scenic spot has ever done this, saying that we are too arrogant and exclusive."


        Li Linfei laughed and said, "Oh, they won't take the initiative if they haven't eaten the sweetness, don't worry about this, we are not bad at propaganda means and don't ask for it."


        "No tour bus without a tour guide certificate can pass the Xiangan Expressway, the tour guide does not have our certification and has no right to conduct tour guide work when entering the scenic spot, all these, are our words."


        "Tourists may also come directly, not necessarily need to enroll in a group, the cost of enrolling in a group is rather higher, enrolling in a group is just more convenient."


        "That's right, love to play or not, seriously, I hate those travel agencies more, I've been screwed over a few times, and I don't want our scenic spots to be messed up." One of the mid-level leaders said with some exasperation.


        "It's true to say that I've more or less been pitched every time I've signed up for a tour."


        "The last time I went to Jiugou, I signed up for a tour in Xiangzhong City, although it only cost a few hundred to come and play for four days, including food, accommodation and entrance fees, to say the least, we did make a profit, and the tour guide did not force us to shop."


        "However, the guide took us into the shopping points, those saffron, wormwood, asparagus and other valuable Chinese medicine, things are real, but just expensive to die, anyway, I see others bought, they also unknowingly bought a few thousand dollars, of course, this is their own death!"


        "The guide did not cheat us, he also said he took the rebate, but to sell silverware that place, indeed the guide fooled us, said what medicine silver ah! It's all a lie!" Another mid-level leader said.


        "Haha, you've come across a better guide, no forced shopping. But people can also act!"


        ......


        Li Linfei heard the crowd recounting their own tourist bad luck, and when it came to the highlights, he also stroked his palm and laughed, seeing that it was almost time, waved his hand for everyone to stop, and concluded, "Well, supervision must be strengthened, no matter the tour guide or the tourists, all the same, any behavior found to be harmful to our scenic spots should be expelled from the scenic spots."


        Li Linfei asked to Guo Jie, "That's it for the tour guides."


        ......


        After a meeting at the tourism company to get the general direction decided, we now wait for the scenic spot to be built and then opened.


        Just as he returned to his office, Tan Gang's call came in, the timing was spot on.


        "Good morning, Boss Li, I guess things have come to an end for now with your company recently." A cheerful voice came from the other end of the communication.


        "You're really pinpointing the time." Li Linfei responded with a helpless smile.


        "That's natural, haha."


        "It's true that it's over, I'm thinking of taking some time off."


        "That's perfect, come to my place for a holiday, how about I promise to personally be your guide and of course do you a favour along with it? How about a little help?"


        "That's all I'm saying, I'll have to go to your place for a holiday."


        ......


        As winter turns to spring and everything comes back to life in spring, in a deep mountain valley far from the city.


        A young couple walked through the forest.


        "Wow I didn't expect this place to be so beautiful, a paradise outside the world is just like this, right, Ye Yang, when did you discover this? Why didn't you tell me earlier to bring me here." The girl who was walking through the forest looked ahead to the mountains in surprise.


        "Uh ...... I don't know, this Gaode navigation is too pitiful, all in front of us are mountains where is the road?" Ye Yang took out his phone and said spitefully.


        When you come here you can see a green mountain from afar, connected to the sky, making people feel like they've come to the sky.


        That kind of green can't be found on the palette, walking here is like walking into a sea of green.


        There is a tree in the mountain that is a natural green.
