Why is it so cheap to sign up for a tour group?

In fact, the reason why there are some tour groups with very low prices is because they all have tricks. The main reason is that the meal budget of tour groups is low. I believe everyone who travels with group tours knows that the food is usually not delicious. Although the cost of a meal is clearly marked on the tour group, during the actual trip During the process, the meals arranged were not that high. Ultra-low-price tour groups flood the entire travel market, impacting the psychology of travel consumers. Low-price group consumption traps range from forced consumption and contract fraud to word games, compressed itineraries, black tour guides coercing purchases, etc., making it difficult for tourism consumers to guard against.

Trap 1: The ultra-low price is "tempting" and the itinerary adds self-paid items

The most direct purpose of the ultra-low quotation is to lure consumers and use word games to make the entire offer The travel itinerary is advertised in a gargantuan way, and then the details are changed, allowing consumers to add money and prices or add self-funded items at will in the travel itinerary.

Trap 2: Using contract fraud to "shrink" the itinerary at will

Some travel agencies hide mysteries in contracts and change or compress itineraries at will. Some tour guides are vague and use various excuses. The purpose of compressing tourists' time to visit scenic spots is to free up more time to go shopping. Once a dispute arises, contract stipulations will be used as an excuse to shirk responsibility.

Trap Three: Forced Shopping, "Rip" You Without Negotiation

How to make a profit by organizing a group trip at a low price? The only way is to induce tourists to shop in large quantities. Some tour guides will even force tourists to shop. If tourists' consumption does not meet expectations, bad situations such as "dumping the group" or "dumping the customer" will occur. In some shopping spots in scenic spots, fakes are everywhere and the prices are high. Shopping at the so-called "designated sales venues" and "stores with trustworthy quality" introduced by tour guides is often a "rip-off" without negotiation. Consumers must be wary of low-price gimmicks. Once they fall into the "low-price group" trap, travel agencies will take advantage of it. Once the method of attracting tourists at low prices and making profits has been tried and tested, travel agencies will naturally flock to it. And up. Generally speaking, many low-price tours are very low-priced, but there seem to be a lot of attractions. Many people think it is a good deal, after all, they do not know much about the attractions. In fact, there are tricks here. Many travel agencies will add many free attractions to the itinerary, such as an ancient town, a park, or a landmark building. When he added a few more free attractions like this, it gave tourists the impression that the group was very good and visited a lot of scenic spots.

But in fact, most of them are free of charge, and only a few of them charge money. At the same time, there are also some travel agencies that buy tickets for the cheapest attractions when signing up for a group tour. For example, Suzhou Gardens, many travel agencies will take tourists to the Lion Grove Garden instead of the Humble Administrator's Garden. Although Suzhou Gardens and the Humble Administrator's Garden are both 5A scenic spots, they are more attractive than the Lion Grove Garden. All in all, there are many ways to travel with a group tour, but the advantages it brings are indeed incomparable to self-driving tours and other methods. After all, it saves time and effort, so this is also the necessity of its existence. For us, the most important thing is to keep our eyes open and avoid being tricked. Of course, we must know: there is no free lunch in the world. Be careful when choosing that kind of super low-priced tour, otherwise you will regret it for taking advantage of it.
