How about a low-cost tour of Guilin for 8 yuan?

The "low-priced group" has once again become the focus.

Only this time it's lower. You only need to spend 8 yuan to visit Guilin, but you have sufu rice for lunch.

A few days ago, a video exposed online was widely spread. On the bus, a male tour guide responded to the tourists' dissatisfaction. "Do you have a good conscience when you take this money to travel without spending or buying anything?" He even called tourists "cheating on food!" Cheat to drink! Fool! It is a tourist hooligan. "

After the incident caused a heated discussion on the Internet, the Guilin Tourism Commission intervened and sent three messages in response on the same day. At present, the tour guide involved has been locked.

According to the official investigation, the go on road trip delegation, organized by Xie, came from Guangdong and attracted local tourists to Guilin for a three-night and four-day tour, with a total of 56 people. The charge per person varies from 8 yuan to 1 19 yuan.

Several staff members of Guilin Tourism Commission told Red Star News that the incident was still under investigation. After verification, the relevant responsible person will be severely punished.

However, there are more than one case of "low-cost tour", which has been frequently exposed by the media in recent years. On March 22nd, a tourist who was traveling in Guilin told his regret about traveling with a group in 99 yuan.

As low as Guilin in 8 yuan for 3 nights and 4 days.

Official: Suspected of unreasonable low-cost travel will be strictly investigated.

From the online video, most of the participants in the tour group are middle-aged and elderly people. At lunch, dozens of tourists looked sad when faced with a pot of white rice and a can of fermented bean curd on the round table. In the video, the surrounding environment is noisy.

In another video, the tour guide stood in the bus and responded to the tourists' dissatisfaction. "You are an adult. Think with your head. 1 19 yuan is enough to travel. "

Some tourists in the car pointed their mobile phones at the tour guide, but the tour guide was still very confident. "Whether you record it or not, send it to the Internet for exposure and see how much you spent on your trip."

An advertisement in the video shows that the group purchase price in 8 yuan includes:

Transportation: round-trip air-conditioned bus transfer; Dining: 3 am and 2 am; Accommodation: 2 nights hotel room; In shopping, Journey has four shopping spots, all of which are "voluntary consumption".

On March 22nd, Guilin Tourism Commission reported that it had locked Jiang, a tour guide involved in the event of "8 yuan Guilin Sufu Rice Lunch Tour". According to the official investigation, the go on road trip delegation came from Guangdong, organized by Xie Mou, a Cantonese, to attract tourists to Guilin for a three-night and four-day tour, with a total of 56 people. The charge per person varies from 8 yuan to 1 19 yuan. Guilin Huashi International Travel Service is responsible for receiving and providing reservation services for scenic spots, hotels and tour guides, and Xie is responsible for all the reservation fees for scenic spots and accommodation.

The official initially determined that "the tour group is suspected of unreasonable low-cost travel. Once verified, the Municipal Tourism Commission will seriously deal with the travel agencies and tour guides involved in the connection of responsibilities in accordance with relevant tourism laws and regulations, revoke the travel agency's business license, revoke the tour guide certificate, and be included in the blacklist of travel dishonesty. "

A staff member of Guilin Tourism Commission told me that the incident is still under investigation and the exact news will be announced in time.

On the morning of 23rd, I contacted the relevant person in charge of Guilin Huashi International Travel Service, and the other party refused to be interviewed.

This matter immediately triggered a heated discussion. Some netizens also believe that since the tour group has made a promise, it should not force others to spend. However, some people criticize the lucky psychology of tourists who are "greedy and cheap". "There is no such thing as a free lunch."

99 yuan! 3 nights and 2 nights Guilin "purchase"

"I have been locked in my room, and I won't let it out until the time."

Zhang Qing (a pseudonym) and her two friends are also participants in the "low-cost tour". They took part in the "Three Days and Two Nights Tour of Guilin".

On March 20th, they set off from Guangxi Beiliu and took a bus to Guilin. The distance between the two places is about 450 kilometers, and the round-trip bus fare only reaches 270 yuan, but the tour fare is only 99 yuan.

Zhang Qing said that on the first day, he didn't go shopping; But the next day, I was taken to a silk quilt promotion center and bought a silk quilt for 4000 yuan. "Many people in the group are buying." On the third day, she was taken to a jade shop again. "I was cheated badly. Pay first, then give things, no receipt. I brushed 600 yuan and my heart was full, but thinking about those who were cheated of 3999 yuan, (I feel) better. "

Zhang Qing recalled, "Although the tour guide didn't force the tourists to shop, he closed the door as soon as he entered the room, and the whole group was inside. For about an hour, unless you go to the toilet, you are not allowed to go out at that time. " She added, "The students in the group are all middle-aged and elderly people over 50 years old. The tour guide stopped at the door and said there was a camera in the store, so there was not enough time. The boss who sponsors them will check them and will not create difficulties for their work. She let people out when she bought something. "

At that time, don't shop, "the tour guide has a bad attitude." But Zhang Qing bought it anyway. She said, "Brainwashed."

After returning home, Zhang Qing took out the silk, but rummaged through the packaging and found no information such as quality inspection. "There is no trademark."

Ms. Ling, the tour guide of the group, told me: "This group has three shopping spots. Take them in, usually 40 minutes. If we have to go out, (we) will not stop it. "

On the evening of 23rd, I contacted a staff member of the travel agency. The other party said that there are indeed shopping spots in the low-priced group, and tourists need to visit the store for a certain period of time. "There should be no situation of leaving tourists in the store now, otherwise they will complain." He said that Zhang Qing's experience is unknown for the time being.

The staff of Guilin Tourism Quality Supervision and Management Office said that if the low-cost tour is true, the tour guides and travel agencies will be punished.

Now, Zhang Qing has returned to China. Thinking of this tour experience, Zhang Qing said with emotion, "I regret it, don't take part in the tour again. This time it was because my friend reported it first and said that he knew the manager. "

Low-cost tour groups often "lose money and don't quit the group"

Tour guides make a profit by inducing consumption.

In recent years, the government's crackdown on "low-priced groups" has gradually increased.

On the day of the "8 Yuan Tour to Guilin" incident, the Guilin Tourism Commission sent three messages in succession, responding to this and reminding tourists that "shopping and self-funded projects should be clearly stipulated in the contract. Any' unreasonable low-cost tour' will increase self-funded and shopping items in the itinerary, and even force consumption. Don't be deceived. After purchasing goods, you must obtain vouchers such as invoices (receipts) in order to defend your rights afterwards. "
