When traveling abroad, the tour guide always takes his passport with him. What's the purpose?

The tour guide took his passport in case you accidentally lost it. If you can't get it out after being checked by the local police, you may be considered as an illegal immigrant. Under normal circumstances, you will be sent back to China. This situation is very troublesome and tragic. I believe that tour guides don't want to meet their own team.

Another reason why they took their passports is that it is more convenient to go through some formalities, which just saves you some energy. As we all know, when traveling abroad, you must go to different places, so you won't stay in one place, and you will definitely change to several hotels. If the tour guide lets you go every time you go through the formalities, you will definitely think that you are on vacation, so why bother? On the contrary, you can check in directly after the guide takes your passport, and you will feel better when you are on vacation.

Another reason may be that the tour guide is afraid of you running a group. Then they are in big trouble. There are enough people to take out and not enough people to bring back. If they have to go back to China when it is due, some people will not be so law-abiding. They will want to go abroad and stay for a few more days, but when the date comes, they will choose to sneak away, which will bring great trouble to the tour guide because of their selfishness and tarnish the reputation of the motherland. So the tour guide will choose to put it away.

I have traveled abroad with my family several times, and I have also encountered the situation of collecting passports. Not all tour groups accept passports. But if the tour guide receives the passport, you will be more worried, and you don't have to worry about losing your passport because of your carelessness. I think it's good for tour guides to accept passports. After my passport was accepted, I was relieved because I was always worried about losing things (haha).
