A 6-day and 5-night Yunnan tour including round-trip air tickets is quoted by the travel agency at 980 per person

There will definitely be shopping at this price. Needless to say, unprofitable prices can be calculated on the tip of one's toes. How can those travel companies survive without arranging some shopping? So if you don't I don't want to shop and I don't want to be shopped. It is best to choose some big travel companies and choose travel products with regular prices! There is no free lunch in the world, and there is no pie in the sky!

If you choose those low-price travel routes, don’t worry too much. As long as you are registered with a formal company, most of them will follow the procedures and they may take you to a few more shopping places. They don't dare to force you to spend money. At least domestic travel is safe. If you have favorite things or souvenirs, buy some. If you don't feel free! You must know that the income of tour guides mainly depends on commissions from tourists' purchases. If you don't give her some income, she will probably lose her enthusiasm for serving you! It also affects your mood!

Last year our family of four signed up for a low-cost tour, four days and three nights, suitable for families and children. We basically visited all the scenic spots along the way and also went to three shopping places. I bought some useful things, such as local specialties and gifts for relatives and friends. As for gold, silver and jade, I bought a chicken blood jade bracelet for my wife, but when I got back I found it was slightly defective! It is not easy to change, and after-sales service is very troublesome! Therefore, when you go out, spend rationally, keep an eye on your wallet, and the most important thing is to be safe and happy!

There is a pit, absolutely there is, and it is a huge pit. This is a direct kidnapping.

Where is the pit?

First of all, the real situation of such a group is that there are shopping stores where people can be forced to consume, but some so-called personal tailors or pretend tour guides, in order to win over customers, deceive customers under the banner of pure fun and ask for They pay a certain deposit. Then, even if they know that there are shopping stores in Yunnan, they will easily follow the group passively.

If you just want to have fun and go on a shopping trip, you can imagine how you will feel.

According to my understanding of the tourism market, this unscrupulous operation is the convenience of some travel agencies from other provinces using the Internet. Even in other provinces, they can pretend to be travel agencies in Yunnan to promote tourism in Yunnan, and can deceive tourists into traveling to Yunnan to make dirty money.

A real local travel agency in Yunnan would not dare to use such illegal and vicious means to deceive tourists. After all, it is my own travel agency. Once a tourist complains, it is not just a simple fine, but the qualification is likely to be revoked.

Recently I heard that many travel agencies in Zhangjiajie, Hunan, use the name of Yunnan Travel Agency to attract tourists. Many times, as you said, tourists are placed in a deceptive situation and have been severely punished by the tourism law enforcement authorities.

So the kind of low-priced tour you mentioned is a shopping tour in itself. You don’t need to do it purely for fun. You may be deceived into traveling to Yunnan. You must not believe it.

To be honest, several travel agencies in Yunnan have recently received tourists who were deceived. Because the reception quality is seriously inconsistent with customer service promises and tourists complain, it is estimated that these travel agencies are doomed.

I am a senior worker in Yunnan tourism and know the situation of Yunnan tourism very well.

Hope my answer can help you!
