Are there any hidden rules in tourism?

First, tourists' consumption is linked to tour guide's salary. Most travel agencies offer tour guides a low basic salary, and some even have no basic salary. When a tour guide travels with a group, he will take the tourists to some shopping spots. If the tourists spend money at the shopping spots, the merchants will take a certain percentage of the tourists' spending as a rebate to the tour guide. Guided by economic interests, it is inevitable that tour guides will reduce tourists' playing time and try their best to get tourists to buy things.

Second, the threshold of the tourism industry is too low, and the phenomenon of "black tourism" is rampant. Frequently appearing near railway stations and some tourist distribution centers, people and advertisements soliciting illegal "day trips" can be seen everywhere. This kind of illegal "one-day tour" is ridiculously cheap. Before the tourists "take the bait", the service is thoughtful, but once the tourists who are not alert enough are fooled, they will encounter price increases, changes in scenic spots and compulsory shopping.

Third, tourists have a "greedy mentality", which means they will suffer big losses if they try to get cheap. Tourists believe in tourist business cards, small advertisements distributed on the street, illegal tourist advertisements published on non-genuine tourist traffic maps and bus stop signs, and feel cheaper than regular companies. Unwilling to sign up for travel and sign contracts through formal channels. "Greedy for cheap, too troublesome", this "greedy for small" mentality has contributed to unhealthy trends in the tourism industry.
