Why do the elderly and group tours only cost tens or hundreds of yuan? What's so fishy about this?

Needless to say, travel agencies are not engaged in charity and will definitely make money. The cost of these low-cost tours is far lower than that of normal tours, and even the round-trip fare can't be paid. However, such tour groups will never make money at a loss, but will try their best to make money from tourists, some of which are even similar to "grabbing".

Low-cost tourism is actually consumer tourism. Low price is not an end, but a means. Travel agencies and tour guides still have to make money from tourists' pockets, but they have changed from "tourists' wallets" to "shopping wallets".

The travel agency must arrange that when the old people are tired, the tour guide will take them to a business district to rest and tell everyone that if you want to buy any souvenirs, you can buy them here. Everything here is very affordable. And sometimes I send emotional cards saying how hard I support my work.

The old man was tired from walking and wanted to have a rest. I heard that things can be cheap, and I can't stand the "true feelings" of the tour guide. I will buy something as a souvenir more or less.

This just falls into the trap of joint deception of travel agencies and commercial street stores, but whenever someone consumes, the store will give the travel agency a certain percentage of commission. And these things may be three-no products with poor quality. At the same time, the price may be several times more expensive than outside.

And when eating, sometimes there are many dishes, but the quantity is not large, so people may not have enough to eat, and it costs extra money to add vegetables. And the tour guide will take you to eat local specialty snacks, which are refundable.

Even some tour groups will sell health products to the elderly. The tour guide will let the old people go to a place to attend classes, and they will get some small gifts after attending classes. As soon as the old man hears the gift, he will rush to class. It doesn't matter, they fell into the trap of these swindlers. When people get old, there will always be some physical problems. As soon as they hear that this is good for their health, they will buy some, which will lead to consumption.

Therefore, the tour group will not make money at a loss, but make profits through another way of making money.
