Transform the traditional travel agency
Wu Jofi, who has worked in a traditional travel agency for more than 10 years, said in an interview with the 21st century Economic report that traditional travel agencies have their own business rules, and that because of asymmetric information, each travel agency's pricing has a strong pricing advantage. After the advent of the Internet, consumers through parity, leading to lower pricing advantages of travel agencies. In addition, through the Internet platform sales, the former real-time cash flow has become the accounting period settlement, the travel agency's financial strength to put forward higher requirements.

This makes the user experience difficult to guarantee. Therefore, the cattle network has established its own customer service system.
