What is the harm of old people joining low-cost tour groups?

Now that our living conditions are good, we no longer only pay attention to material enjoyment, but gradually begin to pay attention to spiritual entertainment and enjoyment. For example, watch a movie, listen to a concert, or sign up for a trip and leave home to travel abroad.

Especially in recent years, traveling abroad is no longer a patent for young people. Middle-aged and old friends in their fifties and sixties or even sixties and seventies have also joined the ranks of tourists. Especially in the last two or three years, we have found a strange phenomenon. Many travel agencies have joined senior citizens' groups to serve the elderly.

One of the biggest characteristics of this old-age group is that the price is quite low. In the eyes of outsiders, even the transportation and accommodation costs are not enough, let alone the service fees of tour guides. In this way, the elderly friends can be happy, scrambling to sign up for this kind of old-age group, as if taking advantage of it, and cheering assiduously.

But in general, large travel agencies or well-known time-honored travel agencies never offer ultra-low-priced tour groups. Basically, the price is in a moderate state, and only some small-scale and unknown travel agencies have specially launched this kind of low-cost tour. So, are these travel agencies trying to make a name for themselves and make money at a loss?

Some insiders have revealed the hidden small doorway for us. In fact, the price, this money does not make money, it seems that even the cost is not enough. Travel agencies carry out such operations, in fact, they have other ways to make money, and many people immediately think of the word shopping group.

Yes, that's the question below. Many well-known local shopping centers have business dealings with tour groups. Are all interrelated. If the tour group comes to the shopping mall, they will give the travel agency a percentage rebate. This kind of big customer store will naturally increase its sales and will also give back to the travel agency.

When a shopping mall knows that there will be a tour group to visit, it will deliberately raise the previous price, because many people are not locals and don't know much about the local consumption level. In particular, the prices of some local native products are even more confusing. After listening to the free job as a shopping guide, it was obviously expensive but very happy.

In this way, the original low-income goods, the price difference is reflected, shopping malls and travel agencies can be said to take advantage of fishermen. But many people have doubts again. If the travel agency takes you to the mall, you don't have to buy it. Old people who have suffered losses in shopping groups know that it is not up to you to buy in the store.

In particular, the management of tour guides by some travel agencies is very irregular, and even some black tour guides take tours privately without obtaining employment certificates. Because travel agency managers can also share a piece of cake, most of them pretend to be invisible and turn a blind eye to such problems. This has led to the unreasonable style of many tour guides.

Old people who have experienced this kind of experience have expressed their distress in their hearts. If you say you don't buy anything, or the goods you buy are too cheap. The tour guide will give you the cold shoulder at the first opportunity. I will even scold you in front of everyone on the bus, saying that you are too stingy and only want to take advantage of the travel agency and don't like to pay for it yourself.

Many people have never experienced such a scene in their lives. A young man in his twenties and thirties talks to himself like this, especially in front of a bus full of people. Most people will choose to buy things at the next scenic spot more or less, which is also a step for themselves. This also played a deterrent role.

Many other elderly people who haven't decided whether to buy or not, or wait and see, are afraid to buy things when they see this situation. I know things here are expensive, but if necessary, I must be slaughtered. It is worthwhile to pay for the trip. Although it is said that even if it is cheated, the overall price is not much more expensive than the tour fare of other travel agencies.

This situation is very common in second-and third-tier cities. Because the local tourism market supervision departments need to strengthen their daily work, this gives these unscrupulous businessmen an opportunity. No matter what business you do, the first thing you should advocate is honest management. Make the topic clear first, don't hide it.

At the same time, we should also advise many middle-aged and elderly friends that there is an old saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch. Whether it is material consumption or spiritual consumption, if you want to get the corresponding service effect, you must pay the same value and money as him. Remember not to covet temporary petty advantages and fall into the trap of others.
