It provides travelers with great flexibility in selecting destinations, participating procedures and experiencing freedom, which endow it with differentiating characteristics and charms from the traditional group tour. As the self-driving tourists increase, the self-driving tour market has begun to take shape; more and more travel agencies, car clubs and car rentals are optimistic about it and engage in market development.
