The travel agency said that foreigners must add 150 yuan to join tour groups and stay in four-star hotels. Is it true?/You don't say.

There is no strict rule that foreigners must pay more for tour groups to stay in hotels above four stars.

Because for a long time, the minimum accommodation standard for receiving foreign tour groups is above four stars, so foreign guests can get used to it.

There are many hotels in China that are below the four-star standard. Maybe they are not used to living outside, and the conditions are poor.

If foreigners join a tour group and are accompanied by China people, it is ok to inform them in advance that the accommodation standard is limited and there is no need to add money. But usually, the accommodation standard for individual tour groups is the lowest. I wonder if your foreign friends can get used to it? In order to prevent this from happening, the travel agency suggests that it is safer to add money to stay in a four-star hotel.
