Is it legal for travel companies to arrange low-cost tours in Yunnan and force tourists to shop?

An investigative reporter from 3 15 found such a thing in an interview. He bought a package tour to Yunnan at a low price, so he can enjoy a six-day and five-night tour at the price of 880 yuan. In the whole process, the reporter filmed the whole process with a video camera, and found a special phenomenon, that is, in the process of traveling, there is still the behavior of tour guides forcing tourists to buy things. After the incident was exposed, it triggered the anger of a large number of netizens. Everyone thinks that this practice of travel companies is definitely illegal, so today we will discuss the practice of travel companies.

First, their behavior is definitely illegal.

In fact, this point has been pointed out in our Consumer Protection Law, that is, buyers and sellers must do it under fair and voluntary conditions, and there can be no coercion. These tourists who bought low-priced packages have been forced to buy things by tour guides during the tour, and even when the tour guides are in the car, they directly say that if they don't buy things, it may be related to their credit information. Although it sounds ridiculous, to be honest, some elderly people probably believe it. This is why some people choose to buy something in the shop recommended by the tour guide after getting off the bus.

Second, how to evaluate such behavior?

In fact, in this survey project, on the one hand, the reporter said that the practice of the tourism team is illegal, but on the other hand, he said that he did not understand the behavior of many tourists, because the country has repeatedly banned ultra-low-priced tour groups. However, it is impossible to ban them all directly, mainly because many people like to be greedy and cheap, and think that they can travel through low-cost tour groups. It is precisely because of this psychological state that these travel companies can take advantage of it.

Third, how to evaluate this survey?

In fact, many people are looking forward to the results of this survey, because in our daily life, we can indeed meet many such holiday tour groups, which has become the unspoken rule of an industry. Everyone knows that these low-cost tour groups exist to sell things, but they don't really come to take us on a tour. After all, their prices simply can't cover their costs. However, there are still many people who like to be greedy and cheap, but they suffer big losses and then go to the Consumers Association to complain. Therefore, in our life, we still need to strengthen the awareness of rights protection, but at the same time we should also pay attention to the consumption trap.
