How do low-cost tour groups make a profit?

1. Attracting consumers with cost price, the land agency only accepts cost price when accepting tour groups, and even is willing to give money to tour groups to attract price-sensitive customers.

2. Choose tourists when organizing a group. In order to minimize the risk, low-cost tour groups will consider factors such as occupation, gender, age and region, and tour guides will use the potential comparison psychology of tourists from different regions to stimulate consumption.

3, false promises not to consume, low-cost groups will claim that there will be no shopping projects when attracting tourists, but most of these promises are verbal and will not be written into the contract. Once there is a dispute afterwards, it is difficult for tourists to defend their rights.

4. Reserve funds. Low-cost tour groups will let tourists put some money first for various reasons and promise to return it when they come back. If tourists spend less than a certain fee during the purchase process, the money will be detained.

5, reduce the cost of tourism, tour guides save money by reducing the standards of catering, accommodation and transportation as much as possible.

6. Arrange the purchase link to eat kickbacks, and the land agency will generally cooperate with the shopping point. Whether shopping or not, shopping malls will pay a fixed head fee to travel agencies. Shopping stores give kickbacks to travel agencies and tour guides, and provide profit space for travel agencies with zero negative group fees.

7. Force tourists to spend. If the induced consumption is not smooth, some people are unwilling or explicitly refuse to shop, and tour guides will generally complain, threaten and even insult.

8, increase the cost, some low-cost groups will add items in the itinerary and charge fees, and even take advantage of tourists who don't understand the market and charge admission fees for free attractions.

9, invisible consumption, tourist attractions in the name of Buddha worship, fundraising, etc. There are some famous places that are crazy about grabbing strong scenic spots, and most of them have problems with fireworks parties or water-splashing festivals.
