Where are you going? Is it safe to go to Macau? Are Macao all card rooms?

If the news about tourism has attracted the most attention recently, it must be the negative of where to go recently exposed by CCTV. The theme of the news is probably that tourists who travel to Macao book hotels through where they go, and they encounter room cards as a result.

What's going on here? Is the room card room safe? Are Macao all card rooms? Next, Bian Xiao will give you a good explanation!

Where are you going? Is the room in Macau safe?

Of course it's not safe. Do you think that besides you, there is a stranger you don't know at all who can open your door? Do you feel creepy? So it's not safe!

Are Macao all card rooms? What is a room card room?

In fact, this question is not just about where to go. If you use the room card room as the key word, you can find a lot of negative news about the travel platform, including Flying Pig and Ctrip.

So in fact, not all rooms in Macau are card rooms. In fact, if you simply search, you will find that many things happen in Macao. There are many sources of "room card room", mainly including rooms for some casino regulars, rooms for redeeming points and so on.

These rooms are registered with other people's information, but in fact no one lives in them, so a third party sells the room cards to consumers separately.

Generally speaking, the price of the room card room will be lower than the normal price of the hotel. Because it is not a formal channel, the tenant's sense of security is much weaker.

The essence of "room card room" is that middlemen take over rooms from different routes and then transfer them to tourists for their own control. Generally speaking, it is a real scalper. This kind of house is essentially a "second-hand house", and the delivery time is also unstable.

To be honest, if we look at it as a whole, the phenomenon of room card housing actually does not only appear in Macao. During the World Cup just past, many friends also made a fortune by taking advantage of the huge difference between the IHG points room and the cash room.

Consequences of room card room

In essence, the room card room and the integral room are actually a little different. Points room is allowed for family and friends, you can go to the front desk CI independently, and the room card room must be handled by others. If you show up at the front desk, you may be judged as a reservation agent.

The emergence of room card room or integral room can really bring some benefits to consumers. But there are also many hidden dangers. If the check-in information registered at the hotel front desk is not the guest himself, according to the requirements of hotel accommodation in real-name registration system in some countries and regions, there is actually a hidden danger of illegality.

In fact, the biggest worry is that if the room card is handed in for check-in, and the room card is in the hands of the "yellow cattle", generally only one room card is given to tourists, so that the "yellow cattle" can open the door at will, and the personal safety and property safety of tourists, including privacy, will not be guaranteed.

You may know nothing about the facilities of the room, the consumption of the room, and even whether there are probes installed in the room and whether there are illegal incidents.

According to a flying pig staff member who asked not to be named, if a consumer complains about a room card dispute with his agent, under normal circumstances, flying pig will shirk it in the name of the platform, although Ctrip and Fat Pig will punish the agent after verifying the incident, but whether or not compensation is guaranteed.

Because the agreement generated by the order is actually only an agreement between the consumer and the agent, it has nothing to do with the platform, so the platform will not compensate the consumer.

And this staff member's statement is actually confirmed by the housing dealer in the side. A friend who is engaged in hotel reservation told me that it is useless to complain to Ctrip when I booked a bonus room or a room card room for a weekend trip, because the agent will communicate with you in advance.

If you refuse to stay in such a room, the order will be cancelled directly.

Of course, the intermediary won't tell you directly whether it is a bonus room or a room card room, but will tell you not to appear at the front desk, and someone will give you a room card or something.

Some friends will say, then why do you always see Ctrip flying pig payment in the news? Because things are getting worse, do you know how many have not been sent?

Before Ctrip points tickets, there was a heated discussion on the Internet. So why can't the platform do anything when it comes to the hotel field and be responsible to consumers? The reason lies in the difference between air tickets and hotel sales policies, and the optional aspects of hotels are actually much larger than air tickets.

We all know that the more suppliers, the more difficult it is to manage. So after careful consideration, choose whether to choose a room card room.

There's a saying, if something happens, there must be a demon. If you see a hotel whose price is much lower than that in official website, you may wish to have a closer look first.

Of course, it is not excluded that some small agents will open a room for you at the agreed price or in the form of integral rooms. In fact, I think, as long as you can go to the front desk CI yourself, in fact, I think it doesn't matter if you book the points room on your behalf. After all, it is good to lose the superficial SNP and get tangible benefits.
