What is a low-price tour group? What are the tricks?

There may be the following tricks behind low-price tour groups:

1. Hidden consumption: When travel agencies promote travel routes, they usually only list basic service fees, such as Air tickets, accommodation, meals, etc., but in fact there may be other hidden consumption in tourism activities, such as attraction tickets, tour guide tips, self-paid items, etc. These hidden costs may not be disclosed until departure or during the trip, causing travelers to pay additional fees.

2. Dumping goods: Some tour groups may forcefully or vigorously promote goods during the tour, such as local specialties, medicines, jewelry, etc., resulting in tourists having to spend extra money to purchase these goods.

3. Marketing routines: In order to attract customers, some low-price tour groups will use some marketing routines, such as false price reductions, misleading publicity, etc. For example, some travel agencies may reduce the price of tour groups when promoting travel routes, but will charge additional fees to passengers through various methods during the travel process.

4. Group-joining trap: In order to ensure the price, some low-price tour groups may put together multiple different groups. However, the size of such a group is too large, which leads to a decrease in the quality of the tour and the group-joining. The travel itinerary may be changed later, resulting in travelers being unable to travel as originally planned.

5. Poor service: Some low-price tour groups may reduce service costs, such as reducing the number of tour guides, reducing accommodation standards, etc., resulting in a decline in service quality. In some cases, travelers may be subject to improper treatment, such as forced shopping, violation of travel contracts, etc.
