Some tour guides don't like to join teacher tours. What is the reason?

Why don't some tour guides like to take their teachers on tour groups? The following is the analysis of several netizens:

User 1: Haha, this question is very interesting. But the reality is really like this. Some of my tour guide friends also said that they don't like taking teachers' groups. In their words, the general group of teachers represents "mothers" and there are many things that are particularly troublesome. In fact, many teachers are also very good, so why do tour guides generally have such an idea? I summed it up and think there are the following reasons.

First of all, most teachers are more literate. No matter what kind of teacher, he always has his own sense of superiority and feels that he is teaching and educating people and belongs to a higher level of culture. Therefore, ordinary teachers are confident in their cultural level and will have certain objections to the tour guide's explanation. Indeed, sometimes the tour guide's explanation is flawed, because many tour guides themselves don't know much about the local area, so they can only say that they have memorized the commentary. But teachers are probably professional habits. She is used to explaining what she knows. So sometimes I will correct the tour guide. Do you think it's embarrassing and humiliating for a tour guide to be corrected in public? Do you have a bad impression of the person who humiliated you? Secondly, the overall income of teachers is not high. Although many people think that teachers are iron rice bowls, in fact, many teachers are really hard-working and have limited income. Their consumption habits are also more cautious. As we all know, tour guides often rely on commissions and shopping guides to increase their income, so they must go out to let people buy more things. However, teachers' consumption habits are relatively good, and they rarely buy things indiscriminately when they go out, which affects the income of tour guides, so it is very strange that tour guides can like teachers. Thirdly, teachers will feel that their social status is higher than that of tour guides at the right time. In addition, most teachers boast that they are literate, so their awareness of rights protection is also high. Usually they argue with the teacher, and you can't argue with them. Therefore, the tour guide will feel tired and nervous when taking the teacher group, because if he accidentally offends the teacher, he will not let it go like the general league members, and the teacher may cling to it.

I have never noticed that tour guides have a preference for sightseeing before, and I don't think all tours are the same. It shouldn't make much difference whether you take them or not. But once I chatted with a tour guide friend and accidentally talked about the topic of taking a tour group, which made me understand a truth. My friend is doing ground connection abroad, and he is not the kind of person who meets many people, only in one place, usually only for one or two days at a time. But even so, according to him, there are still teachers' groups that he doesn't like to bring, and it's hard to say that all tour guides are like this, at least colleagues around him are like this.

As we all know, tourists shop and tour guides get commission. But to be fair, this is not immoral, but normal. Of course, this doesn't include what should have been sold at 100. The tour guide cheated tourists with the merchants and sold 1000 to share with each other. Some ordinary shops and duty-free shops abroad can be visited by both group guests and free travellers. It is a custom that if there is a guide to take the guests, the guests can provide the guide number when spending, and the guide can be rewarded with a commission. For tourists, there is no need to spend more money, and there may be a discount. For shopping malls, tour guides bring tourists, and tour guides make profits, which is a win-win situation. Therefore, in order to stimulate consumption, while introducing scenic spots, tour guides will naturally spare no effort to introduce local specialties to their guests. Among these guests, if there is a delegation, it will usually be more enthusiastic and easy to form a situation of buying everything; Teachers are usually calm, and some teachers are used to seeing problems critically. This kind of rational thinking is undoubtedly a big obstacle to the development of tour guide business, so it has become a group they don't like to bring.

Netizen 2: I think there are several reasons why some tour guides don't like to take their teachers around. First of all, teachers are good at calculation. When I say "careful calculation", I mean that teachers are very careful when shopping. It can be said that quite a few tour groups led by tour guides are not real sightseeing tours, but genuine shopping activities. Why are tour guides so keen on shopping with tour groups? It's no secret, after all, it's a fact that tour guides seek personal gain in the name of traveling. I have participated in several tour guides, and I hate these behaviors of tour guides. As for teachers in teachers' tour groups, most of them are resistant to excessive shopping activities. Even if they are dragged to a shopping place, most of them are unwilling to actively cooperate. In this way, the shopping share won by tour guides will naturally not be rich. Finally, the play directed by the tour guide has been turned into a farce by the calculating teachers.

Second, the teacher's knowledge is profound. It can be said that teachers are a relatively knowledgeable group, knowing astronomy above and geography below; The reason why a teacher is called a teacher is that whenever he meets a topic of interest, he will talk like a flood and never stop; In addition, because of their professional habits, teachers like to be loyal to wrong knowledge or statements. As for tour guides, most of them graduated from higher vocational colleges, and their academic qualifications are generally not high, and their knowledge is relatively lacking. Facing the teacher, they also have a bite to eat, and naturally panic in their hearts, for fear of showing their timidity in front of the teacher and losing their ugliness. Third, teachers have a strong awareness of rights protection. Teachers are generally systematically and comprehensively educated and have a systematic understanding of various laws and regulations. They generally have their own clear and rational judgments about various events in their lives, which are illegal and which are legal, and they have a strong sense of safeguarding their rights and interests. If there is any infringement on the tour group led by the tour guide, the teacher tends to unite as one and be * * * external. At this time, the tour guide's situation is more embarrassing. Stealing chickens does not eat rice, and tour guides are prodigies. Well, since they can't be provoked, can't they hide? When the tour group gives birth to a child, the teacher tour group, sorry, have a rest.

Netizen 3: I have been engaged in the tourism industry for 7 years, doing ground connection business in Beidaihe, being a tour guide for 2 years, and doing office planning for the remaining 5 years. The following views are only for Beidaihe market. Teachers' teams and doctors' teams are really difficult to form in the tourism industry. Most tour guides take tours for two reasons: one is to make money. After all, everyone has to support their families, and it is human nature to want to earn more; Second, if a tour group is full of contradictions, the tour guide must have encountered problems during the tour, and bringing it down will break his heart. The above two points rarely hinder the ordinary tourism team at the same time, sometimes there are many problems, but they can also make money as a whole; Some groups are not so tired even if they don't earn much money. Most of the teachers' groups and doctors' groups don't make money, and the tour guides are heartbroken. In Beidaihe tourism market, the tourist peak season is only July and August, and the actual peak season is only forty days. At this stage, the demand for tour guides is greatest. Tour guides almost need to work continuously from 4 am to 2 pm 12 pm every day, which is the only time they can make money in a year. Therefore, based on the above two points, Beidaihe's tour guides are very resistant to bringing such teams.

In the process of leading the teachers' group and doctors' group, tour guides often face the following problems: talking over words, being skeptical about the explanations given by the tour guides, and refuting you from time to time by looking up information on mobile phones. It is required to explain the whole process. During the tourist season, the itinerary is intensive, and the time spent in the car every day is longer than that in the scenic spot. Traffic jams are also common, and ordinary teams will understand the tour guide and take the initiative to let the tour guide rest when explaining, while the teachers' group will always think you are lazy, but if you don't explain for a while, there will be complaints. Without listening to the explanation, some teachers think they know more than tour guides. The tour guide kept talking during the explanation, but looked at you eagerly when he didn't understand, just like the students at school, which made the tour guide feel at a loss (I experienced it personally). Requirements for details are high, and the resources of restaurants and hotels are tight during the tourist season, which will inevitably lead to defects. Moreover, the particularity of the tourist area, the conditions are worse than those of similar hotels in the living area, and the price is high. Teachers' groups are extremely demanding on details and often live in homestays, but they require five-star standards and are often unable to coordinate.

Rational consumption, tourism shopping belongs to a kind of passionate consumption. Being in a foreign land, I am curious about the local characteristics. Coupled with the repeated bombing of tour guides and merchants, it is natural to consume, while the teachers belong to a super-rational group and hardly buy anything in shopping stores. Even if they can cooperate with the store, they will burn high incense and earn a commission, not to mention. With a high awareness of rights protection, ordinary people have to muddle through many small things when traveling. After all, they are out to play, and the team of teachers will hold on to them. They always take these little things as a handle to complain about the tour guide, and they are wary everywhere, afraid of being beaten by the tour guide, and have no trust. Therefore, the spirit of the tour guide leading the teachers' group is always tense, and a mistake is easy to be complained. These are the reasons why tour guides are unwilling to take teachers' groups. This view does not include all teachers. After all, no one is perfect, ordinary teams are picky, teachers are considerate, and tour guides are mercenary.
