Do tour guides have the right to force tourists to shop?

Tour guides have no right to force tourists to shop.

As practitioners in the service industry, tour guides should respect the wishes of tourists during the tour and provide professional tour guide services and rich tourism information. Tour guides should give priority to the needs and interests of tourists, rather than their own or business interests.

It is unethical, illegal and undesirable behavior for tour guides to force tourists to shop. First of all, doing so will disrupt the travel order and affect the travel experience. Secondly, this behavior infringes on the passengers' right to free choice and property rights, and violates the provisions of the Consumer Protection Law. Finally, this behavior damages the image and reputation of tourism and has a negative impact on the entire tourism industry.

Therefore, when performing tour guide work, tour guides should abide by professional ethics and laws and regulations. When introducing products to tourists, they should truthfully introduce product information and give them full rights of choice; at the same time, it is recommended that group members who are interested in purchasing Consume voluntarily and pay attention to guide healthy and rational consumption. If you find that some merchants have malicious forced sales, fraud, etc., you should report it to the relevant departments in a timely manner.

In short, forcing tourists to shop is an illegal act and a lack of professional ethics. Tour guides should abide by regulations and good habits, and always provide quality services with a "customer first" attitude in their work.
