Verify the information of the receiving travel agency:
The contract must include the name, address, contact person, and phone number of the receiving travel agency to avoid situations where “the travel agency receiving the deposit is not the same as the one leading the tour”.
Clarify liability for breach of contract:
If the travel agency unilaterally adds consumer or self-funded items, it must refund the fees and pay a compensation of 20%-30% of the tour fee; forced consumption can result in a claim for 20% compensation.
Keep the original contract:
After signing, keep a copy of the original contract and take photos for archiving to use as evidence for rights protection.
