How to distinguish low-priced tour groups

At present, there are many low-cost tour groups in the market, and the expenses of these low-cost tour groups are far lower than those that should be spent on normal tourism. How do tour groups make a profit? According to professionals, in order to make themselves profitable, these low-cost tour groups have laid many scams during their travels.

The four classic scams of low-cost tour groups are summarized as follows;

1. Competing for "profits cut from the knife edge". In order to control costs, those travel agencies accustomed to vicious competition with low prices constantly squeeze the basic salary of tour guides and the service quality of tourist routes, so as to lower product prices. The main way to make money is to induce and intimidate tourists to shop and get kickbacks from merchants. For local agencies and tour guides, taking over the tour group is a debt. "If you don't want to lose money, you can only find ways to make money to fill the pit."

2, the hotel goods are not right, "replace with the same level" is the usual trick of travel agencies. Generally, the contract will indicate which hotel you will stay in, but there will always be a bracket behind it, which says, or the hotel at the same level, arrange the guests to other hotels at the same level with much cheaper prices.

3. Reserve funds. Low-cost tour groups will let tourists put some money first for various reasons and promise to return it when they come back. If tourists spend less than a certain fee during the purchase process, the money will be detained.

4, invisible consumption, tourist attractions in the name of Buddha worship, fundraising, etc. There are some famous places that are crazy about grabbing strong scenic spots, and most of them have problems with fireworks parties or water-splashing festivals.

Choosing a travel agency must depend on the industry background of the travel agency, that is, whether the company to which the travel agency belongs is mainly engaged in tourism or other projects. Tourism is just a newly expanded field. Comparatively speaking, the latter is junior, with little energy and obviously inferior strength.

Fake regular travel agencies to accept customers at low prices

In places where foreign tourists are concentrated, such as Tiananmen Square, there are always a group of people holding leaflets and enthusiastically asking if you want to go to Badaling Great Wall.

100 A chartered car can buy tickets, and you can also pick up and drop off passengers for free to watch the flag raising.

If you ask him what kind of travel agency he is, most of them will say China Travel Service or Youth Travel Service, and some will say that they are staff of Beijing Tourism Distribution Center. They come out just to facilitate tourists and attract customers.

Some people have leaflets with fake seals of travel agencies, insurance companies and consumer associations to confuse tourists and reduce their vigilance in joining their illegal groups.
