In Oct 8th, 2010, The 2010 Golden Week Tourism Statistics Report suggested that the total number of tourist has increased by 27.1% during this National Day. And the main stream form is tour package in china travel, I think. Because most tourist chose Travel to Beijing or Shanghai and other kinds of large cities. Tour Package surely becomes the most suitable form for mass tourism. However, more and more people especially young adults and senior tourist like the DIY Package. They want to book everything themselves and enjoy the freedom of self-decision. The DIY form can give them enough time to experience everything happened on travel. Surely they can get deeper feeling about the trip.
In fact, Tour Package can be 
divided into four kinds: package group, half a package tour, self-cater package and zero package tour. Each kind has less control from the agencies in turn. Compared with package group, half a package tour need to deduct the expense for meals besides the whole protection of the tourism. And zero package tour, as a special form, always happened in developed countries. Tourist who take part in this must arrive and leave with the touring party. And there isn’t other restriction any more.
As the saying goes, every man has his hobbyhorse. While there is another one, what you can do depends on what you have and like. Take both into consideration, I would make a personal summary.
If the destination of my travel is a metropolis filled with fashionable elements such
as Shanghai, I’d like to go by myself. Only by myself can I experience its amazing night scene and feel about its local culture. I can’t image that a number of tourist come to the waterfront of Huangpu River together and share the beautiful night scene in a limited time as the travel agency ruled then went back.In fact, I went to Shanghai in this summer vacation for the EXPO and some famous interests there. Surely I DIY-ed my route. After taking a short rest , I went to the Huangpu River to see its wonderful night scene. I just strolled along the street to appreciate the nice night, without any limitation. The same as in the EXPO park and Nanjing Lu Pedestrian Precinct and Town’s God Temple. No rush with time or any other happened in this trip. I completely felt its own feature.
If scenic spots there are some hist
oric ones or I just have limited time for some places, I want to choose a travel agency to help me in illustrating its history or some interesting stories behind it, or arrange a certain day’s tour package which could show me the most famous ones. For example, a 1day Beijing tour package generally includes the Imperial Palace, the Bird’s Nest, the Great Wall and the Ming Tombs. Routes designed by agencies can satisfy tourist’s desire for the main interests in Beijing. Why not choose it?
Besides, as people most like having a tour package when they want to go abroad for not only cheaper price but also convenient transportation, I certainly follow suit.
Whether you want a tour package service or just DIY package, you can see rich info on China Tours.Combining tour package with your own design surely would be a wise decision.
