"Yunnan luxury double tour for 6 days and 5 nights, as long as 299 yuan", is this true? Or a scam?

A luxury double tour in Yunnan for 6 days and 5 nights is only 299 yuan, which is really not a scam.

Last year, my aunt took a similar trip to Yunnan. She flew back and forth by plane. Their tour fare from Tianjin to Xishuangbanna is 200 yuan. When traveling, I visited many scenic spots, and of course I went to many shops to shop, and I was not forced to spend.

The so-called low-cost tour in Yunnan now is actually because by the end of the year, the flights of major airlines are not full, and the long-term cooperation agreement signed by travel agencies and airlines has given travel agencies a vacancy at a lower price. Travel agencies attract tourists to Yunnan at low prices. There are 1~2 scenic spots in the itinerary that are national toll attractions, and other scenic spots may be free of tickets. Local hotels and buses are long-term partners of travel agencies, so the prices are also very low. After arriving in Yunnan, local tour guides will show tourists around the scenic spots. Shopping time will be arranged every day, and tourists will make profits when shopping. Because everything sold in the store is a local specialty, after packaging and publicity, the price will be much higher than the cost of this specialty when it is sold to tourists, and the profit is very considerable. Tourist associations get commissions from merchants. It should be noted that this shopping link is voluntary and there will be no forced consumption.

Customers with strong economic strength will buy a lot of precious jewelry, gold and silver jewelry, which will generate considerable profits. Travel agencies make money through this model.

Another mode is that travel agencies all over the country are responsible for attracting tourists for local travel agencies in Yunnan. In this process, the principle of complementary resources is used, which greatly reduces the cost. The salary of the tour guide will be drawn from the total shopping expenses of the tour group. Everyone * * * completed the task of organizing a group of tourists from all over the country, so as to obtain corresponding profits.

So this kind of low-cost tour is really not a scam.
