How can they make money when the prices of outbound and group tours are so low?

Haha, I just signed up for a shopping group on the Bangkok-Pattaya traditional route 1999 yuan. You can answer this question. Tour fee 1999 yuan, which is an open price. Actually, I only paid 1500 and found an acquaintance. This 1500 yuan includes a round-trip air ticket, four nights' accommodation (staying in a small hotel in Bangkok and changing to a five-star hotel in Pattaya), nine buffets (the last meal is in a duty-free shop, so you can eat any salmon, so you know where it won't be bad), three tour guides accompanying a driver, round-trip bus fare, and 230 visa fee. Can travel agencies make money like this? Nonsense, of course, it is not enough to make money. Therefore, they will have the following ways to make money. First of all, a volunteer tour guide will send you a price list, which shows the prices of thai massage, fruit dinner, SPA, shemale show and adult show. A is 1600, b is 2000 and c is 2300. Our members went rough cutting and finally cut the B package to 65438. I chose a, but I can deduct items I don't want to go to from the set meal. Before I came, an acquaintance greeted me and said that the tour guide basically earned money by this package. If you don't choose a tour guide, you will be unhappy. You can get rid of more than 400 spas and pay 1250. Then someone asked, what if you refuse to choose? There is a couple in our group, but no matter what the tour guide thinks, he just doesn't choose. Then the tour guide made many unsuccessful efforts in private and had to give up. We went to participate in the self-funded project, and they stayed in a hotel (in fact, they left as soon as we left, and went out to play by themselves), but there was no taxi in Pattaya, only a bus, so it was difficult for them to walk and explore in the hot sun. Then the tour guide was very angry in the car and said that the two men owed him just to get something they didn't want to pay, and they had no conscience. Our tour guide is older and more stable (he says he is the son of a senior official and doesn't want to be the manager of the administrative office. He prefers to be a front-line manager. He is a little old and invested in a hotel in Chiang Mai with his friends. He is covered with Buddhist cards and likes watches. He chatted that his most expensive watch was 280,000 yuan, which was quite professional. As soon as I got on the bus, I kept saying that I would get a pension visa after 50 years and go to the immigration cover after 3 months. Hangzhou), flew to Thailand on the 27th, and then my friend flew to Thailand on the 28th. In 87, I took a tour guide, which was very fierce. I went up to bargain, and in 2000, when I got to 1700, I refused to pay less. Someone asked if it could be reduced to 1000, and I was scolded by the state. There is also news that a group of 25 people refused to participate at their own expense, then left their cars and people in the wild for four hours, only to call the embassy to solve it, and changed to a Thai tour guide the next day. Then, the tour guide will show his gem ring, snake oil pills and leather bags in the car, saying that these are all Thai specialties and worth buying. But if the economic conditions are not suitable, don't force yourself to go in and look around before coming out. No one will blame you for having to buy them. On the second day of the next trip, I went to the leather jewelry center (a crocodile belt is 2500 yuan and a jewelry ring is 15000 yuan). On the third day, I went to the latex boutique (a 7.5 cm thick latex mattress, size 1.8 * 2, charged us 9500 RMB, and later someone inquired about the bottom price, 5000 RMB). On the fourth day, I went to the snake medicine center and sold a bottle of Jiedu Dan for 300 RMB. On the fifth day, I went to the Buddhist temple and asked for Buddhist cards ranging from 2000 to 40000 RMB. Don't say nobody bought it. Although we are a low-priced group, some guys still have spending power. We bought 8,000 mattresses, snake oil pills, Buddha cards and belts, but not precious stones. In these places, China tour groups are crowded with people. These days in Thailand, it's hard to feel out of the country. When I eat, I listen to Chinese everywhere. The waiters all speak Chinese, and I listen to Chinese when I shop. The scenic spots are all from China. Even the shemale speaks fluent Chinese (the first shemale I met was myself, sir, please touch it). Finally, I passed the customs in Thailand, and the official handed me the certificate. The third is tourism, which is estimated to make little money and tour guides don't like to push. I spent 2400 baht on water skydiving and diving. Diving is not a common free diving, but a hood for you to go down in swimming trunks and breathe freely. Several people are holding hands underwater, feeding fish with bread and touching coral reefs. I brought a diving watch and watched it for about half an hour. Next time, someone will take your picture over there. A painting costs 100 baht. If you don't want to be photographed, you can turn your head and put your mobile phone on your face, so people will know that you don't want to take it, but the tour guide says you must take it with you, otherwise it's a bad idea. It's called a photo. The fourth is a normal tip. Every day, I have to put 20 baht when I leave my room, 100 baht when I go to the SPA, and 70 baht when I massage (I am very old, 185). My brother pressed it carefully for two hours, and everyone commented well, so I added 20 baht to him. ) When we finally left, the Thai female tour guide and the driver each gave 100 baht. (Some people give it and take it back, which shows that they look down on it. They have been with you for five days, and they are not willing to give up 20 yuan, which is too much. The fifth is the self-funded projects of various scenic spots. I shot one shot, fired six bullets, collected 300 plants, took photos with tigers 100 plants, rode 20 elephants, took photos 100 baht, presented flowers for photos 100 baht, and the guide took us to the ghost street. Sixth, the tour guide sells things by himself. Just said that the tour guide strongly recommended snake oil pills and so on. He said that he ate it every day (indeed, he ate it every morning and evening) and recommended it to us. He also bluntly said that he would make some money, such as dried durian, green grass oil and soap. Everyone should take care of them and say that there are many repeat customers. You can directly add him to WeChat and tell him what you want in the future. He will buy them and earn some commission. L 'Oré al in duty-free shops can buy it for free (Thailand is the origin of L 'Oré al, a set of elite suits 105 RMB, which is very cheap compared with domestic ones). Then I bought his green oil. I mean, four bottles of 480 plants, one hundred RMB, and four bottles of 600 plants for my friend, but the weight is nearly half. Taken together, making money means self-funded projects plus shopping rebates and the profits of tour guides selling their own things. My wife and I spent 8000 yuan on a week-long trip to Thailand. If my ability is good, I suggest doing a good job in raiders, traveling freely, or recruiting peers on the poor travel network. The cost is similar, but there is no such thing as 7788, which I know better. However, if the elders want to go, they suggest that I sign up for a pure tour group instead.
