"The world is so big, I want to see it." When people talk about going out to see the world, their first thought is usually traveling—slinging a camera over their shoulder to visit Dali, which movies have talked about to death but they’ve never actually been to, or heading to the Inner Mongolia grasslands to watch the mighty horse wranglers, or lounging on the beaches of Sanya to check out the bikini beauties while catching some sun...
But ideals are full and reality is skinny. For traditional sightseeing tours, many travelers are full of complaints and misery, feeling that "traveling is suffering." The "Vacation Go" platform, developed by Beijing Da Bai Sha Network Technology Co., Ltd., has evolved the "Travel Woes Alliance" into the "Vacation Guardians."
Voices of the "Travel Woes Alliance"
Xiao Zhang, a young white-collar worker from Beijing, signed up for a tour group to Guilin and Yangshuo during the May Day Golden Week. After returning to Beijing, he was utterly exhausted. He shared his personal experience with a reporter: I signed up for a three-day tour of Guilin and Yangshuo. The schedule was very tight, so I was mainly focused on attractions like the Li River, Elephant Trunk Hill, and Yangshuo West Street. But when I got to Guilin, I realized two things completely exceeded my expectations. First, the number of tourists was way more than I imagined—it was insanely crowded. Waiting an hour and a half just to take a boat ride on the Li River completely killed my enthusiasm. Then, the tour guide’s job was to take us from one shopping spot to another. High costs aside, I didn’t get to experience any cultural charm or natural scenery at all. By the end of the trip, I felt like I’d been peeled alive. That’s not the kind of travel I wanted at all!
So what kind of travel do members of the "Travel Woes Alliance" really hope for? Xiao Zhang continued: Life and work in the big city are already stressful, so I’m more drawn to a freer, more convenient style of vacation travel. No tour guides, go wherever I want, stay as long as I want—that lets me really "unwind." If it’s somewhere unfamiliar, it’d be great if someone could help plan the itinerary and book the hotel for me...
The Evolution of the "Vacation Guardians"
Nowadays, as people’s economic levels improve, the ranks of the "Vacation Guardians" are growing steadily. The shift from the "Travel Woes Alliance" to the "Vacation Guardians" reflects a change in mindset, as well as a transformation in the travel market landscape. The "Vacation Go" platform, addressing this trend, has pioneered the industry’s first "O2O Vacation Service Model."
For example, if a traveler wants to go on vacation but doesn’t know where would be suitable, "Vacation Go" will help them pick the most fitting resort. How many days they want to travel and the specific itinerary are all tailored to the traveler’s preferences. From flight bookings and hotel reservations to private car transfers, "Vacation Go" handles it all. Additionally, holders of the "Vacation Go VIP Card" can enjoy complimentary stays at vacation hotels. This way, consumers don’t have to worry about a thing and can enjoy high-quality vacation services at a very low cost, truly achieving "saving time, saving money, and saving hassle." The evolution from the "Travel Woes Alliance" to the "Vacation Guardians" is naturally the way forward.
