Tourists in the Network.
Tourists in the Network.
The traveller who completely forms and pays the
Trip through the Internet, in Russia the big rarity.
According to operators, only 3-5 % of all tourists in this or that
Degrees address to Cп я п before to go abroad. And
Nevertheless owners of tourist portals notice, that on
To comparison with last year interest to their product has considerably increased.
Desire independently to organise the rest (if not
Completely, then partially) at the Russian tourists appears
For the several reasons. Some travellers do not wish to go
There, where the great bulk of Russians, and even goes in
Well untwisted countries, for example in the same Turkey, want
To find any unknown place for the others or hotel. A choice in
Networks, as a rule, much more, than in agencies. Someone had
Not the most pleasant experience of dialogue with the Russian operators or
Agencies second time on the same rake also is afraid to come. We not
We assert, that all Russian turkompanii bad, but ours
turrynok exists only ten years and punctures meet more often,
Than in tourist industry of the European countries. The suitable company, as
Rule, search through the familiar.
For those who tries to organise rest independently,
There are two basic ways. The first - at first to find all
The information on the interesting country. As a rule, the states, to
Which Russians show the big interest, have already created the
Portals in Russian, for example www.goegypt.ru, www.goisrael.ru,
www.thaila "d.worlds.ru. If you stop a choice on
To any exotic country it is necessary to use
English. After a country choice - a hotel choice, ticket purchase
And - forward!
But, unfortunately, from Russia to pay any goods or
Service through the Network very difficult. With tickets aboard the plane a little
Easier: to you will bring it from airline representation (or from
Firms which sells these tickets), and you pay cash. And with
Hotel it is necessary to agree and ask to reserve room without
Remittance and to pay it already on a place after the arrival, but in
This case there will be no absolute guarantee, that the place remains
Free before your arrival. "If you go to a low season and
Demand big is not present, your place most likely remains, and if
It is a high season, for example a trip on an exhibition to Hamburg or
Hanover there without money in general will make nothing, after all demand
Considerably exceeds the offer ", - the general director has noticed
Companies U "iverseTravelService Alexey Krylov.
Here the second way is possible: to be defined with hotel, to learn
The price, and then on the Internet to find tourist agency which will be
To reserve for you number. "If the agent offers the same prices
On hotel or even more cheaply it suits people, - speaks
Krylov. - if the price above the competent client begins
To set questions: "Why days in hotel stand $150, and you to me
Offer on $200? "After all operators and agents should work on
Discounts which they receive from suppliers and not to inflate
The prices ". At well developed mechanism turrynka the prices at the operator on
Any hotel can be almost twice more low public prices
Hotels.
One more problem for which decision it is required to involve
Agency, - visa reception. There are, of course, visa-free countries or
The states where the visa put all after an arrival (for example, Cuba or
Malta); somewhere the visa to receive simply (for example, by words
Heads U "iverseTravelService, in embassy of Thailand or Singapore
It is possible to show acknowledgement on the hotel reservation, sent on
To e-mail and then raspechatannoe). But with
The West European countries such variant hardly will pass.
"People who have developed the travel plan through the Internet,
Know, that they want, but with some of them it is very difficult
To work, - the agency head "Suitcase" Vadim Tyurin speaks. - they
Consider myself as the cleverest when we start conversation on visas,
Some reflect, and some continue to beat themselves a fist
In a breast. There were such situations when tourists reserved hotel,
Received acknowledgement, and visa sobbings then began, and in
Result they to us came back ".
Travellers who do not search for agency, and form
turprodukt for itself, not so it is a lot of. Too many should
To coincide: such tourist besides access to the Network and normal knowledge
English should have a credit card defined
Independence, high enough incomes. The people well owning
The Internet, exist, but on the whole it is youth, not
Possessing considerable financial resources for creation
Individual trip. It is possible to be dug as much as long in
Offers across the same Spain to find the good prices, but the permit at
The large operator will cost all the same in one and a half time more cheaply
- At them the block of hotel reservations, the block of places on charter-party, the general
Transfer. Therefore basically easier way - search gets out
This operator through the Network, passing the advertising tourist
Editions and methodical obzvon interesting firms.
Besides actually sites turkompany there are tourist
Portals, for example www.tours.ru, www.travel.ru, www.tio.ru,
www.turizm.ru (Unfortunately, www.tourism.ru address - dead, it not
Some years, information there a minimum were updated the last,
To sell this name owners refuse). A set of services at all
These portals practically identical: news about tourism or about
Allied industries, the information on the countries, visas, air tickets,
Offers turkompany, forums plus of opinion and councils
Travellers on a subject where to go and where - is not present. By words
Directors of firm BIM (turizm.ru) Sergey Vatutina, first of all
Clients are interested in rounds and their cost plus set in forums
Questions to representatives turkompany. The information on the countries, as
The rule, is given only in the untwisted directions. As has noticed
The director of firm Avaru age "cy (tio.ru) Sergey Kudymov, basically
Write about that is on sale. However at the same time many portals
Place travelling notes of the tourists who have visited in most different
The states, and thus fill up stranovuju base. Similar
Tourist resources in a Runet basically information - to buy
Or to reserve on them of anything it is impossible. It is necessary For acquisition from
It-lajn of the client to turn in off-lajn the consumer.
Attempt to sell air tickets through Cп я я and also to give
Services in booking of the hotels, undertaken by the company "Trevel
City "(a site www.ava" tix.ru), calls a little sceptical
Opinion both from "classical" turkompany, and with
The parties of owners of tourist portals. Both and others consider those,
That this project in any way it is impossible to name to the full
The Internet project, after all to pay for all as a result it is necessary
Cash. Besides expenses for creation of office and for the personnel
Are too great soon to pay off (and in the classical
Internet firms the minimum of employees) works. In most Ava "tix
Consider, that their main advantage - in possibility to give
To the client it is as much as possible information on flights various
Airlines and possibility to reserve (to send the demand) the ticket
On interesting flight. And the client can be as agency,
And the private person. However, representatives of agencies on it
Respond, that Ava "tix offers tickets on so-called public
prices, and at turkompany there are agreements with some
And they work as airlines on given discounts, and with
public prices to work it is unprofitable.
Despite the sceptical relation from the party offlajnovyh
Tour agencies, Avantix.ru from next year is intended to offer not
Only air tickets, but also tourist permits.
"The ticket, unlike the tour, - an accurate product, if
The person buys round to it it is necessary also consultation, -
The chief of department of tourism Avantix.ru Michael Shalaev speaks. -
We prepare to that people will get the standard
Packages because there are consumers which well know
Separate directions. But if at the client will appear any
Additional questions it will communicate with us or on
To phone, or through the Network ". How much such tourist
The product will be in demand, it will be possible to judge after
Announcements of the prices for services. But as to pay for all
It is necessary all the same not in the Network as a result it will turn out simply
New turkompanija, a little differently itself positioning.
After "Avantiksom" air tickets intends to trade
Company "п п п п п п .я я " (www.matisse.ru), only in this case
Tickets for charter flights will be on sale. On a plan
Founders of a site, konsolidatory charter flights will be
To expose the information on the flights on matisse.ru, and agents in
Real time mode can receive the information about
Available places and to reserve them. Payment, as always, or
Cash, or by means of bank remittance. However, and
Here is a little "but". First, while not clearly, how much
The companies-konsolidatorov will subscribe for participation in the project, and
If their number is insignificant, full picture of the charter
Flights to a site will not be. Secondly, according to representatives
Some tour agencies to tour operators which represent itself as
konsolidatorov flight, is unprofitable to sell only the ticket on
The plane, it is more favourable to sell all permit entirely.
It turns out, that while tourist Internet projects in Russia,
The information calculated not so much on granting, how much
On sale something, yet do not call optimistical statements
At other participants turrynka.
