"Liupanshui Line" National Tourism Administration issued a warning to travel agencies, prohibiting the collection of old tour surcharges.

It has become a "hidden rule" for Japanese tourism to charge extra fees to the elderly over 60 years old and teenagers under 18 years old on the grounds that their consumption level is not high. The No.3 Tourism Service Warning issued by the Quality Supervision and Management Office of the National Tourism Administration yesterday emphasized that in the same tourism team, travel agencies should not raise extra fees because of the age or occupation differences of tourists, otherwise they will be punished.

Travel warnings remind consumers that according to the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Travel Agency Regulations, unless the travel agency provides more services than other tourists or tourists require, in the same travel team, the travel agency shall not ask other tourists for different contract items such as paying extra fees on the grounds of age or occupation, and offenders will be punished. In this regard, tourists can complain to the tourism administrative department of the tourist destination and demand that the behavior of travel agencies, tour guides and tour leaders be stopped immediately. You can also complain to the tourism administrative department where the tour group is located after the tourism activities, and demand compensation. Tourism administrative departments can be punished according to relevant laws and regulations.
