How much do you know about the shady tourism industry? Tourist: It's impossible to prevent.

Traveling is not only a way to give yourself a vacation after being busy, but also a way to enjoy the scenery and relax.

Every region has different customs and cultures. You can't understand it by reading the text introduction. You can only feel it when you go to that place.

However, because I am not familiar with the consumption habits of every place, I often experience some unpleasant things when traveling, whether it is the shady of some local tourist attractions or the inside story of traveling with a group, it is often impossible for tourists to prevent.

This article will talk about the shady tourism industry and see how much you know. Share it with friends around you, and everyone can be vigilant together.

Travel agency shady:

First, the price trap.

We all know that the prices of air tickets and hotels are floating. Generally speaking, the closer to the departure date, the more expensive the price will be. But traveling with a group is not the case. If the travel agency tells you to pay the contract payment as soon as possible, otherwise the price will increase in a few days, which is a complete lie.

Group tours are all pre-booked air tickets, hotels, cars and tour guides. No matter when you sign up, the cost is the same.

Second, don't join the group.

It means that if the total number of tour groups you have reported does not reach the lower limit of the number of groups that have been sent, it will be considered as no group and you can't travel. Breaking up with the group is the most painful thing.

Imagine that when you sign up for a tour group and everything is getting ready for excitement, you are told by the travel agency that you can't join the group before you leave, and your long-planned travel plan is ruined. Even if you signed the contract when you signed up, you actually didn't get any compensation.

For example, A signed up for an outbound tour group in a travel agency on September 30th. Because of the shortage of seats in the National Day tour group, A booked and paid a deposit two months in advance, but was told by the travel agency two weeks before departure that it could not form a group.

But obviously this is impossible. National Day outbound tour is the peak season, and there is no possibility of not forming a group in popular countries.

In fact, there is a truth that is universal. Two weeks before the National Day, all the tour groups were full, and the travel agency offered to ask if there were any rooms if they were willing to pay a high price.

At this time, the guests have a strong desire to travel. I inquired about various travel agencies and found that there were really no places, so I could only agree to increase the price.

I'll give you a hint: when you sign a travel contract with a travel agency, there are several clauses that will make you write "agree or disagree" with the part that is not a tour group. Remember to write it all out! The stamp for you must be the official seal of the travel agency!

Accommodation shady:

Although there is only one word difference between a four-star hotel and a five-star hotel, there are many differences in conditions and money.

When many people hear that the four-star hotel has a good environment and convenient transportation, some people even think it is a very high-end hotel. But when you think about it, the best location in a city is rarely reserved for four-star hotels. On the contrary, this hotel may generally be at a certain distance from the city center. If you want to live in high society, it is basically impossible to be good in all aspects and afford it.

When choosing a tourist accommodation, we should observe the internal environment of the room and also consider the overall surrounding environment. This aspect should not be sloppy, otherwise it will greatly affect the comfort of the whole trip.

Shade of scenery:

The inside story of scenic spots involves many things, from some local customs to some special projects, from service to price, there are some unknown shady scenes. The following summarizes the experiences of some tourists as a typical example.

Tourist 1: Two years ago, I traveled to a plateau mountain area, and the tour guide recommended me to buy medicinal materials. A tourist in the same trade saw a local medicinal material, worthy of the name, and asked about the price. The stall owner said 200 yuan, and the tourists weighed him. The stall owner casually asked if he wanted to process it. The tourist said yes, and the vendor immediately ground it. Calculate the money, more than 20 thousand, tourists are stupid. It turned out that it was 200 yuan.

Later, I asked the tour guide to intercede and paid 18 thousand. In fact, you can buy it for more than 200 yuan.

Tourist 2: I once went to a scenic spot in Jiangxi, and the tour guide said that I would watch the beautiful woman jump the snake for free, so I went.

On the way, the performance beauty interacted with the audience and generously invited bold tourists to touch the snake. Since she was ordered, she dared to touch it. After the performance, the beauty began to collect money from the snake-touching people, and she couldn't do it without paying.

Xinjiang Hemu Scenic Area

Tourist 3: Last time I went to Xinjiang, I wanted to go to Harmony Scenic Area. It's very cold. I was going to rent a dress outside the scenic spot and return it the next day. 50 yuan a day, deposit 100, I paid 100. Asked me if I wanted to buy 200 yuan.

When I came out the next day, I was going to continue walking down, but it was too cold to take off my cotton-padded coat, so I planned to buy it. Actually, my conscience didn't return it. 100 is only worth that price.

Later, I bargained with my boss from the original price of 200 to 150. When I was ready to make up for him 50, my boss said that yesterday's rent was also paid together! How can this be true! It's unreasonable to pay rent if you buy it!

Friends who often travel abroad should have similar experiences to some extent. The development of tourism in different regions will inevitably lead to the mixed quality of related industries. Although the state will also introduce policies to maintain the stable development of tourism markets in various regions, it is still up to tourists to improve their awareness of discrimination.

Tour group outing

Whether it is a travel agency traveling with a group or buying souvenirs or other special services, it is necessary to know clearly in advance. After all, some unpleasant experiences during the trip will greatly affect the overall travel experience.

In addition, when doing related strategies before free travel, we should also know more about whether there are some typical shady scenes for foreign tourists in the local area, and take the time to know in advance to avoid many follow-up problems.
