Have you ever been forced to spend by a tour guide while traveling?

Yes, I did. At that time, I went to Zhoushan Islands in Putuo Mountain, Zhejiang Province a long time ago. Fortunately, it is an officially recommended tour group. There is no serious problem, except that some members and tour guides are unhappy because of shopping problems. Later, it was properly handled under the coordination of the local tourism department.

At present, there are many disputes between tour guides and tourists because of shopping problems, and even incidents of hitting people and hurting people have occurred. In order to prevent the problem of forced shopping by tour guides, we must first understand the qualifications and reputation of the participating teams, and don't join the tour groups with bad reputation. It is even more difficult to be fooled by some illegal tour groups and fall into a trap. It is necessary to look at the "three certificates", that is, the travel agency's business license, business license and tax registration certificate, to avoid entering the "black hotel" by mistake.

If you encounter compulsory shopping, you should learn to protect yourself, avoid direct conflicts with tour guides, and avoid quarrels and fights. Pay attention to collecting evidence, such as mobile phone recordings and shopping invoices. You can buy some local specialties or take them home to share with friends. Although it is expensive, it can also be used as tuition, which is a hundred times stronger than an accident. Even if the loss is large, the evidence is retained, and there are relief channels to complain about rights protection after returning to China, to recover the loss and protect their own safety.
