Complete Analysis of Local Tourist Group Quotations in Kunming

Kunming, this "spring city" with four seasons like spring, attracts countless tourists to explore with its unique natural scenery, rich historical culture, and colorful ethnic customs. Choosing to travel with a group is undoubtedly a hassle free and effortless way of traveling. The following will provide you with a detailed introduction to the pricing of local tourist groups in Kunming

1. Factors that affect the quotation of Kunming tour groups

1. Peak tourism season: March to May and September to November are the peak tourism seasons in Kunming every year. At this time, the climate is pleasant and the scenery is beautiful, making it the most concentrated period for tourists. During peak season, tour group prices will be relatively high. For example, a five-day trip to Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang may cost around 2500 to 3500 yuan per person during peak season. This is because during peak seasons, resources such as hotels and transportation are tight, leading to increased costs. Travel agencies need to pay higher fees to ensure that tourists' itineraries proceed smoothly. Off season: June to August and December to February are the off-season for tourism in Kunming. During the off-season, the number of tourists decreases, and the prices of tour groups will correspondingly decrease. The same five-day tour to Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang may cost around 1500 to 2500 yuan per person during the off-season. However, the off-season also has its unique charm, as tourists can avoid peak crowds and enjoy a more peaceful travel experience
2. Number and types of attractions in itinerary arrangement: The number and types of attractions included in the itinerary of a tour group are important factors affecting the quotation. If the itinerary includes well-known attractions in Kunming such as Shilin, Dianchi Lake, Xishan, as well as popular tourist cities in the surrounding areas such as Dali and Lijiang, the price will be relatively high. For example, a seven day tour including Stone Forest, Dali Old City, Erhai Lake, the Old Town of Lijiang, Yulong Snow Mountain and other scenic spots may be quoted at about 3000 to 5000 yuan per person. If you only visit scenic spots within Kunming city, such as Cuihu, Jinma Bijifang, Yunnan Ethnic Village, etc., the price will be relatively low, possibly around 1000 to 1500 yuan per person. Play projects and activities: In addition to sightseeing, the planned play projects and activities in the itinerary will also affect the quotation. For example, some tour groups will arrange boat projects in Erhai Lake, cableway projects in Yulong Snow Mountain, ethnic performances in ethnic villages, etc. The cost of these projects will be included in the tour group's quotation, resulting in an overall increase in the quotation. If these additional activities are not included in the itinerary, the price will be relatively low
3. Transportation by plane: If the transportation mode of the tour group is by plane, the quotation will be relatively high. Especially when departing from distant cities, airfare accounts for a significant proportion of the tour group's quoted price. For example, a seven day tour of Kunming, Dali, and Lijiang departing from cities such as Beijing and Shanghai may cost around 4000 to 6000 yuan per person for a flight group. However, the speed of airplanes is fast, which can save travel time and is suitable for tourists with tight schedules. Train or car: If choosing train or car as the mode of transportation, the price will be relatively low. The price for a train tour may be around 2000 to 4000 yuan per person, while the price for a car tour may be around 1500 to 3000 yuan per person. However, the travel time of trains and cars is relatively long, and the riding experience is relatively poor, which is suitable for tourists with ample time and limited budget
4. Accommodation standards for luxury hotels: If the tour group arranges a luxury hotel, such as a five-star hotel or a high-end homestay, the price will be relatively high. In Kunming, the accommodation fees for some luxury hotels may be over 500 yuan per night, or even higher. Therefore, the tour group price for choosing a luxury hotel will be about 1000 to 2000 yuan/person higher than that of a regular hotel tour group. Economy hotels: Economy hotels are the choice of most tour groups, with relatively affordable prices. In Kunming, the accommodation fee for economy hotels may range from 100 to 300 yuan per night. The tour group that chooses economy hotels offers relatively low prices, which is suitable for tourists with limited budgets
5. Catering arrangement including meals: If the tour group's quotation includes catering, the overall quotation will be relatively high. In Kunming, catering expenses vary depending on the restaurant and dishes. Generally speaking, the cost of each meal ranges from 30 yuan to 100 yuan. If the tour group arranges special food experience, such as Crossing the bridge noodles, wild mushroom hotpot, etc., the cost will be higher. Therefore, tour groups with meals will be priced around 500 to 1000 yuan per person higher than those without meals. Meals not included: Some tour group offers do not include meals, and tourists can freely choose restaurants and dishes according to their preferences. The quotation for this method is relatively low, but tourists need to pay for their own meals, which may increase some additional expenses

III. Precautions in Tour Group Quotations

1. What is included and not included in the cost: When choosing a tour group, be sure to carefully read the travel contract to understand what is included and not included in the cost. For example, some tour group quotes do not include the cost of electric scooters, cable cars, etc. for scenic spots, which tourists need to pay for themselves. In addition, attention should be paid to whether it includes expenses such as catering, accommodation, transportation, and whether there are other implicit expenses
2. Shopping section: Some low-priced tour groups may arrange more shopping sections, which may affect the tourist experience. When choosing a tour group, it is important to choose a reputable travel agency to avoid participating in "unreasonable low-priced tours". If there is a shopping segment in the tour group, it is important to understand the time and location of the shopping, as well as whether there is mandatory shopping
3. Insurance and safety: Tourist group quotes generally include travel accident insurance, but some tourists may need to purchase higher amounts of insurance. When choosing a tour group, it is important to understand the scope of insurance and claims methods to ensure that one's rights are protected. In addition, attention should be paid to safety issues during the tourism process, following the arrangements and prompts of the tour guide, and avoiding accidents
   

In short, the pricing of local tourist groups in Kunming is influenced by various factors. When choosing a tourist group, tourists should consider various factors comprehensively based on their own needs and budget, and choose a suitable tourist group. At the same time, it is important to pay attention to the signing of travel contracts and the purchase of insurance to ensure that one's travel rights are protected.
