I would like to know the current number of tourists and consumption in Jiuzhaigou?

I am a special tour guide in Jiuzhaigou. Since the travel agency charges a high capitation fee for the tour guide (the so-called capitation fee refers to all tourists who join the travel agency, the travel agency calculates it based on the number of people, and then allows the tour guide to go up. Hand it over to the travel agency. It is usually 30 yuan per person, but so far it has been 40 to 60 yuan handed over by the tour guide.) This makes it impossible for us to survive, forcing the tour guide to force the guests to spend. In order to let the guests who are planning to go to Jiuzhaigou have some understanding, I specially published the details about the shady operations of travel agencies in Jiuzhaigou tourism to the world, so that everyone can understand the current status of Jiuzhaigou tourism.

Normally, it is impossible for the travel agency that tourists sign up to directly arrange for guests to go to Jiuzhaigou. Because it is impossible for him to arrange all the food, accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment. The travel agency said that our travel agency sends the tours by itself, but for most of them it is impossible for them to send the tours by themselves. Unless the guest forms an independent group, instead of taking the same car with other guests but chartering a car by himself, it is possible that the travel agency hosting you will organize the tour on its own. Several travel agencies in Chengdu have now formed professional individual travel agencies. They put together the guests from various travel agencies to form a car and send them to Jiuzhaigou.

So some guests think that they have paid a high travel fee. That is because your registration office has charged you a high price. At present, there are many guests waiting for the standard in Jiuzhaigou. I often see many customers who don’t understand what standards, etc., mean. The professor from Zhejiang University I once taught was a doctoral student, and he didn’t understand what standards, etc. mean. The so-called standard class is the worst class. The room does not have air conditioning. If you want to use air conditioning, you need to pay extra. Generally, Jiuzhaigou tourism is divided into standard, air-conditioned, standard, three-star luxury, four-star ultra-luxury, and five-star top luxury. Now the standard local pick-up price in Jiuzhaigou is 520-580 yuan/person. The so-called local pick-up price means that the place where you sign up will transfer you to the travel agency that issues a special line to Jiuzhaigou. The pick-up price of these special line agencies is the local pick-up price. Usually, the profits of local travel agencies are very thin or the tour fee is negative when picking up groups. Guests usually have to pay 700-900 yuan per person to participate, etc. It's normal for the department that receives you to earn more than 100 from you. It needs staff salaries, rent, and total social management fees for the travel agency, and it also needs to be submitted to the tourism bureau (if the payment is not paid, the tourism bureau will check your report every three days) or something that makes you unable to work) and other expenses.

If you sign up from a travel agency from other provinces, you will need to transfer several times. After receiving the group, travel agencies in other provinces will hand it over to Chengdu Travel Agency, which in turn will hand it over to Chengdu's dedicated travel agency that sends it to Jiuzhaigou. This is the easiest and quickest. Some agencies from other provinces don’t know where to transfer it to Chengdu, so they transfer it to the local travel agency that has contact with Chengdu Travel Agency, and then transfer it to Chengdu. At every step of the journey, part of the travel expenses will be taken away by these travel agencies as their expenses and profits. When it finally arrived at the dedicated travel agency, there was no profit margin, so the dedicated travel agency used low prices to win over the travel agencies that organized the group and hand over the guests. There have been all kinds of problems since coming here! !

Look at the travel agency’s price of 520-580 yuan per person. If you go to Jiuzhaigou and Huanglong for four days, you have to stay for three nights, have a tour bus, eat and have tickets. In addition, it is usually written in your contract that you have high-quality tour guide services. I would like to ask what high-quality tour guide services are. Look at the second page of your contract. The tour guide fee in the first few rows is zero, or some charge a 5 yuan tour guide fee. This 5 yuan is recorded in the cost of the travel agency and is not given to the tour guide. Travel agencies like this have to use clever names to accept customers. The tour guide fee also requires the tour guide to pay the capitation fee. They eat both the guests and the tour guide.

Look back and see how the price of 520-580 yuan/person is arranged? What I want to remind your friends who go to Jiuzhaigou now is that no matter how much money you pay at the place where you signed up, they will only pay this amount to the travel agency that sends the express line from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou.

It is impossible for a travel agency to collect profits from various links while doing a loss-making business. Let’s break down the entire itinerary according to the six major elements of tourism: food, accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment:

Eat! ! Usually we have lunch in Maoxian at noon on the first day, and after eating it, the guests say it tastes terrible. Many guests think that the tour guide has skimped on the meal standards. The place where we went to have lunch was booked by the travel agency in advance. If the tour guide does not take you there, there will be two consequences: first, your guests will not have a room to stay when they come back on the third day, and second, the travel agency will fine the tour guide. Every tour guide has paid a deposit ranging from 3,000 to 100,000 at the travel agency before joining the group. This is not allowed according to the labor law, and the tourism bureau has repeatedly banned it. But if you don’t pay it, there will be no group tour. It is very easy to force you to pay it. . Or you don't have to work as a tour guide because every travel agency has to charge it. Tour guides often explain to guests that conditions in the mountainous areas are poor, and travel agencies also tell guests in advance that food and accommodation in Jiuzhaigou are poor. Do you know how much your meal costs? 8 yuan/person. It’s only 80 yuan for a table of ten people. Can you eat it if ten people can eat it? If you have money, there is no bad food on the tourist attractions in China. The food in Jiuzhaigou was even worse, firstly because of the high altitude and secondly because we didn’t pay enough. When eating at a hotel in Jiuzhaigou, if you want to add boiled water or pickles, the waiter says no. The rice you eat is all rice that has been stored for many years. This kind of rice is used to make feed. Some of the vegetables you eat are from the previous round. After that, reinstall it and take it out.

We often ask guests to come to the restaurant early, and I hope they can have the first round of food, but the guests always think that the tour guide has arranged the meal and they can go and have fun on their own. I can't tell you how hard it is. It’s impossible for me to say that some of the dishes here are the same as those I had in the previous round. Why is this? Not enough money! The hotel you stayed in charged you 15 yuan/day for room and meal charges. The 15 yuan includes your one-night stay, breakfast, dinner at the hotel, and staff wages. You tell me how to make it, let you do it, how to make it! ! Isn't it true that Jiuzhaigou, which is called the world's top scenic spot, is not good? Breakfast at the Sheraton International Hotel is 88 yuan per person. No matter how bad a hotel like this is, it will not be like the hotel I just mentioned! But you can’t bear to spend the money. If you sign up and sign up for five-star luxury, you won’t have a bad meal!

2 The shady operation of Jiuzhaigou tourist routes

There are also road meals provided by many travel agencies in the scenic area for guests, which is dry food and water. The cost is 4-5 yuan/portion. You said how good the food is at such a price. Some guests said that the food on the road was too delicious. This is because the tour guide did not arrange it well! There is a restaurant in the scenic area. Why don't we arrange to eat in the restaurant? Eating road meals cannot be arranged by the tour guide. When you signed up, your registration point told you that you would have road meals in the scenic area the next day! You can eat while walking! The lowest meal price in the scenic area restaurant is 33 yuan/person. If you pay 33 yuan for the buffet, you won’t be able to part with it! ! If you think it’s expensive, check out some instant noodles in scenic spots for 30 yuan a bowl! Do you think the tour guide wants to take kickbacks from you? This 33 yuan is the price set by the Jiuzhaigou Administration Bureau, not as much as the tour guide wants to charge you!

Other meals on the way will only cost a few yuan per person, so naturally you won’t be able to eat well! A better tour guide will tell you that it’s because of the poor conditions in the mountainous area! I say this because I don’t want to hurt you and give you face! Some will tell you directly how much you paid! Have you paid enough? Of course this is all you can eat!

The Jiuzhai route’s food tips are:

If you are a friend who is very particular about food, don’t order a group meal and order your own food!

Stay! ! ! If you stay in a standard triple room in Jiuzhaigou, your contract will say 2-3 persons, which means it may be a double room or a triple room! But when you get to the hotel, you will definitely get a triple room. Sometimes I don’t know what to say if there are newlyweds in the group! Because the money you pay is the standard for a triple room! Men and women must live separately! Some guests said that tour guide, you deliberately harmed us and separated us as a couple! Do you know how much you paid? Standard hotels allocate rooms to tour guides based on beds! If you and your wife want to live in the same room, how will you arrange for the other tour guide to accommodate three people? Asking you to participate in the deluxe wait guarantees that two people will share a room and you won't be able to afford it! The tour guide can only tell the guests that there are too many tourists in Jiuzhaigou and the hotels are so full that they can’t even buy a room with money. This is a word of comfort to you! That's because the tour guide is afraid of hurting your self-esteem! As long as you have money, you can buy a house in Jiuzhaigou no matter how prosperous Jiuzhaigou is and how many guests there are. There has never been a situation where you couldn’t buy a house to live in! The key is whether you can afford it! Will you live in a room that costs more than one thousand per night?

Some hotels in Jiuzhaigou have water and power outages or hot water is supplied on a regular basis! Thin quilts, dirty quilts, small hotels, bad attitude of waiters, etc. are common in Jiuzhaigou! The receptionist was very mean and vicious to the tour guide! Ignore the guests! Some guests don’t understand why hotels treat guests like this to tour guides! Don’t the hotel want to do business next time? Hotels don't need to worry about this. Because the hotel booking is not something that the tour guides and guests can control. We tell travel agencies how to measure hotels from the perspective of profit. Travel agencies will not listen to tour guides. Go to the one with the lowest price. The hotel where everyone is staying has zero room charges, which means the accommodation is free. How good can you want something that is free of charge?

In order to get a good floor or try to let a group of people live on the same floor or in the same building, we often get angry with the receptionist and even quarrel or fight. It’s better to live in your own group! But when you are given the room key. Some guests thought it was bad because the floor was high, while others said the dampness on the first floor was bad. You know, in order to make your stay better, I had an argument with the receptionist right after I got the key. What else are you going to do? ! When you live in a five-star hotel, every floor is good and you don’t have to worry about it! !

The Jiuzhai Line's accommodation strategies are as follows:

It is best to stay in a five-star hotel if you stay in a four-star or above hotel. Now Samsung hotels have zero room charges! So now the quilts in Samsung hotels are not changed every day. Sometimes there is no air conditioning, so the hotels of Samsung and above have air conditioning!

Okay! ! ! Many people report that the journey to Jiuzhaigou is too long and difficult! Flights are now open! Why not take a flight! Arrived in 45 minutes! ! It’s hot and the driver doesn’t turn on the cold air. It’s cold and the driver doesn’t turn on the hot air! Do you know how much the driver charges? If you are a guest flying to Jiuhuang Airport, the tour bus will pick you up at the airport and take you from Huanglong to Jiuzhaigou to the hotel and then to the airport. These are zero fares, and the driver does not get a penny salary! ! That means you didn’t pay a penny! Put yourself in my shoes. You don’t know me. When I come to your place, will you pick me up for free? I don’t think so! If you are traveling from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou! The journey time is more than 1,000 kilometers in four days, and the fare is 800-1,200 yuan per day. The toll and gas expenses for these four days are about 1,600 yuan, and there are also road maintenance fees and management fees of the tourism transportation company. Drivers and masters also receive no salary.

This is operating at a loss! If you do not support the participation of self-funded projects during your itinerary, you will find that the master is very unhappy! Why? Because it is closely related to him.

Usually people think that tour guides will get kickbacks for participating in self-funded projects! If the driver doesn't take it, he won't drive the tour bus. Are you doing a loss-making business? So customers often say that self-financed project contracts state that participation is voluntary, and if you don't participate, forget it. Have you ever thought clearly about how often you need to go to the bathroom in your contract if this is the case? Didn't write it! That means the driver can let you use the restroom without stopping. It takes ten hours to drive from Chengdu to Jiuzhaigou. If you want to have lunch on the way, you will have to skip the restroom. The air-conditioned bus written in your contract does not say how often it will be turned on, when it will be cold and when it will be hot! It didn’t say how the driver should apply the brakes faster or slower? So go out and have fun, as Shenzhen tour guide Wu Jingmin said, the self-funded project is worth participating in!

3 The shady operation of the Jiuzhaigou tourist route

The Jiuzhaigou route's strategy for the car is:

Charge the car yourself and save the driver's hard work on the fare, tolls and gas Give enough! Or driving is best! Or like the tipping system implemented abroad!

Travel! ! When traveling, visiting tourist attractions is the key! And often a large amount of shopping time delays tourist attractions. This is a problem that exists in tourism all over China and the world! On the Jiuzhai tourist route, one day in Jiuzhai is too tight. Now there are two-day and three-day tours of Jiuzhai scenic spots, but guests do not join such tour groups. Why? Because an extra day will cost more and tourists don’t want to pay such a high travel fee! There is not enough time either because we set off late or because we live too far away. Sometimes guests stay at Songpanchuan Temple on the first day of the peak tourist season because the house prices here are cheap. So I went out early in the morning and arrived at Jiuzhaigou at eight or nine o'clock! In the scenic area, you are in a hurry! The morning of going to Huanglong was spent at shopping spots. I didn’t go to Huanglong until lunch. I didn’t arrive at the hotel until eleven or twelve in the evening. I had to have dinner at the hotel! If you don't use it, you have to pay. Because the hotel has zero room charges. If you don't eat in the hotel and don't pay for the meal, the hotel won't have a penny of income. Usually lunch is after 11 am and dinner is not served until around 11 pm. Do you think such a trip is tiring? Bitter or not! Do you think only guests are like this? Neither the driver nor the tour guide had dinner! But the driver drove late at night, which was very dangerous. He accidentally drove into the Minjiang River. Everyone in the car will be sacrificed. It's just that everyone doesn't know how dangerous it is, and the tour guide doesn't dare to tell everyone! Jiuzhaigou Valley is called the Road of Death and can be regarded as the most difficult and dangerous road in China! Tour guides are injured or die on this road every year! No positive media reports! The government also does not allow these news to be reported out, as this will affect the government's image!

Huanglong has a high altitude. People who live at low altitudes are a little uncomfortable suddenly going to such a high place, but the situation varies from person to person. It is better for you to prepare oxygen than not to prepare it. It turns out that the Tourism Bureau vigorously rectified the Huanglong Oxygen Market and did not allow tour guides to take guests to buy oxygen. However, there were no less than two cases of people dying from lack of oxygen in Huanglong. The Tourism Bureau has no choice but to allow tour guides to buy oxygen for guests now, but they must buy it on the oxygen street of Chuanzhu Temple. It’s 50 yuan for an oxygen tank. It’s actually the 5 yuan one in Chengdu! Why was it not allowed to buy it before but now it is allowed? It’s the tourism bureau that has the money here. So I personally think it is necessary to take oxygen when going to Huanglong. It is best to buy it in Chengdu or buy it at the place where you set off and bring it with you.

The tips for traveling along the Jiuzhaigou route are:

Go to Jiuzhaigou for two days! Go up to Huanglong and bring some oxygen, and go there in the morning and try to spend the whole day playing! But the Huanglong only looks good during the season when the water is abundant. Otherwise, when there is no water, the Huanglong is not worth the two hundred yuan ticket. It would be better to go to Muni Valley or Shenxian Pond! !

Buy! ! Travel and shopping has always been the last thing that guests want to do! But guests will think that tour guides like to take guests shopping the most! I dare say that any tour guide from the bottom of his heart is unwilling to take guests shopping! If you don’t believe me, you can ask which tour guide is willing to take guests shopping! ! That tour guide didn’t know if the items at the shopping mall were inferior or fake or if they were genuine but the prices were ridiculously high! ! Then I asked the tourism bureau, the industrial and commercial bureau didn’t know, and the travel agency didn’t know! ! Doesn’t Premier Wen know? Doesn’t the National Tourism Administration know? Doesn’t the Sichuan Provincial Tourism Bureau know? Doesn’t the Aba Prefecture Tourism Bureau know? They all know it! You can ask about the shopping spots that provincial cadres go to when traveling. They don’t do shopping during the entire trip.

Why aren't they shopping? I remember one year when a tourism law enforcement captain in Sichuan Province, who was also a government official, inspected a tour guide at a shopping spot selling beef! He went to the tourist bus and took the microphone and told the guests that the beef here was dead beef and rotten beef and asked everyone not to buy it! I would like to ask Kazakh government officials why shopping spots like this are not closed! This shopping spot for buying beef still exists after a few years! If you go to Jiuzhaigou, you can still see that it is still open for business! ! What is the reason for this? I still don’t understand! But this is the place where travel agencies must go to sign the tour guide when they want it! Give rebates to travel agencies when you shop! The tour guide who was investigated that year was fined more than 1,000 yuan! But the travel agency has not been fined, and the shopping spots have not been fined or banned! ! What kind of world is this? Just because the tour guide has no one to support you! The tour guide didn't give any gifts, so the tour guide had to swallow his anger and suffer in silence! ! Someone stand up and speak for them! !

Shopping spots along Jiuzhaigou Valley, the first shopping spot for tourists traveling to Jiuzhaigou Valley is the Crystal Store. All travel agencies require tour guides to sign at the Crystal Store, because the Crystal Store will give the travel agency a parking fee of 200 yuan! Or give the travel agency a 10% bonus on the total purchase amount! There are three crystal shops just outside Jiuzhaigou. You can only enter the crystal shop where the travel agency requires you to sign. These crystals come from Jiangsu or Chengdu and are wholesaled by the kilogram! Some are made of glass! Or synthetic crystal! Another way is to enter the crystal shop at Qixingguan when you come out of Maoxian County!

There are as many as five or six beef restaurants. But it is also indispensable to use yellow beef and horse meat as yak meat to sell to tourists! If it were real yak meat, the price would be surprisingly high! Travel agencies offer tiers ranging from ten to fifteen percent! You must also go to the place designated by the travel agency!

Medicine Store If the medicinal materials are good, the price will be extremely high! Travel agencies also charge tiers at 10 to 15 percent!

There are also jewelry stores that are purely fake! Usually it is a shopping store that customers choose to enter only if they have not made any purchases. The general rule is not to enter this shopping store! This is the place that Jiuzhaigou tour guides are least willing to enter, but the customers have been unwilling to spend money so they decided to give it a try.

However, if the tour guide does not take guests to these shopping spots, the tour guide will be fined. Do you think the tour guide is willing to take you there? Chengdu travel agencies now stipulate that if you don’t go to a place, you will be fined 2,000 yuan.

The Jiuzhai route purchase strategy is:

Pay special attention when signing the contract! It must be stated in the contract that you will not enter the shopping store during the whole trip! Don't let anyone in. If you do, I'll kill you without any negotiation! This is very important! Don't let travel agencies take advantage of you. Some travel agencies say they only accept a few, so you just have to see if you can buy them! At this time, the travel agency staff who receive you are setting you up! Is it okay not to buy it? You will know then!

Entertainment! Traveling is all about having fun! Of course, entertainment is indispensable! The entertainment projects in Jiuzhaigou include Tibetan and Qiang style party (which is what some office workers call a bonfire party. People who say this about bonfires have never been to Jiuzhaigou.), and walking into Tibetan houses to eat roasted sheep and drink highland barley wine. , and there is Minjiang River rafting. That’s all there is to play with. Now the Jiuzhaigou Administration Bureau is issuing leaflets to slander Tibetans who go to eat roasted sheep and drink highland barley wine. Why are they slandering them? They want all the guests to attend the Tibetan and Qiang style party (the government sets a price of 180 yuan per person) because this party is not just for tour guides and travel agencies. There are benefits. Both the Jiuzhaigou Management Bureau and the Jiuzhaigou Government have benefits! Some shows are not just where the tour guide wants to take you, but you just go to that house to watch them. There are eight first-class performance units and two second-class performance units classified by the Jiuzhaigou government. Which show should you go to watch the show? It also depends on which travel agency you join, because this trip requires a designated signature!

The entertainment strategy of the Jiuzhai route is:

Participate at your own expense The entertainment program is worth participating in. Tour guide Wu Jingmin said that you can participate in self-funded programs! But for the Jiuzhaigou party, ask first where you want to watch the show! There is no need to go to the second category, I think it is ugly.

Here we talk about signing. What does signing mean? That is, after joining a travel agency, all tourists must park at the place designated by the travel agency when going to the toilet. As a tourist, this must be incredible, but this is an indisputable fact! Eat and live in designated places, shop in designated places, and entertain in designated places! In this way, travel agencies can get more rebates to make up for the shortfall in tourist group fees!

So why do travel agencies that charge very low prices dare to accept customers! Take a look at the tickets for Jiuzhaigou, which are 310 yuan, and the tickets for Huanglong, which are 200 yuan. There is no discount for these attractions. Don’t think that there is a discount for this ticket. It’s 510 yuan here. There are also transportation expenses, food, and accommodation. There are also staff salaries, rent, management fees paid to the tourism bureau, and office sales expenses. Travel agencies still need to make money! Then the travel agency will ask the tour guide to charge a high head fee!

So as tourists to Jiuzhaigou, you know best how much you pay! Let you participate in entertainment projects at your own expense, but you will not participate. We will take you shopping, but you will not buy anything.

How to live as a tour guide and a master! The slogan of the Jiuzhaigou tour guide is to make your trip to Jiuzhaigou miserable and miserable for a few days! ! This is the travel agency tourism industry’s tourism system that forces tour guides to take you to participate in self-funded items for shopping!

Now there is a tour group that does not enter shopping malls during the entire trip to Jiuzhai! When you joined the tour group, you made a promise not to go into shopping stores. There is no guide fee, you will be paid according to the tour guide’s service and explanation! !

(According to international practice, the tour guide service fee is US$5/person per day) If you are not a tour group that does not enter the hotel, then you have not paid enough! If you want to participate in a self-funded project, you must go shopping! !

Here let’s talk about the stores and registration points that receive tourists! When guests join a tour group, they will tell them that they don’t need to bring a penny with them to Jiuzhaigou. They don’t need to participate at their own expense, and they don’t need to buy anything. Then the tour guide has to pay a capitation fee of 30-60 yuan/person to the travel agency! The result is that guests are afraid to use the restrooms in Jiuzhaigou because they charge 50 to 1 yuan to use the restroom without bringing money. The standard fee for real guests to go to Jiuzhai is 650-900 yuan per person, but if the registration point is handed over to the dedicated line in Jiuzhai, they only pay 520-580 yuan per person. If tourists don’t participate in self-funded projects when they come to Jiuzhai, then they shouldn’t go to Jiuzhai! ! Because I believe you must not be able to play well! ! Because you didn't pay enough for your travel.
