Why does it stipulate that those aged 26-56 can enjoy discounts when applying for a tour group?

Central Broadcasting Network, Beijing, May 13 (Reporter Gao Min) According to the Economic Voice's "Tianxia Company" report, it depends on age and household registration. Don't think that this is signing up for a blind date conference. In fact, it is Sign up for a tour group and go out.

When applying for a tour group, we usually compare the product prices of different travel agencies. Even for the same route, the group price may differ by hundreds or even thousands of yuan. Take the Yunnan tour as an example. For a 6-day group tour departing from Beijing to Yunnan, most of the quotes are between 2,000 yuan and 3,000 yuan. Some quotes are around 1,000 yuan, and there are even special offers for four to five hundred yuan. Of course, the reason why it is a special offer is also subject to conditions, such as: limiting the customer's registered residence and limiting the age of the customer.

In this regard, "Tianxia Company" randomly consulted several travel agencies. Some staff said that low-price tour groups limit their age and household registration because they are interested in the purchasing power of these tourists. Some people also said that the recent travel After the Yunnan tour guide insulted tourists, low-priced tours are generally not recommended.

Staff: Because there is an age limit in Yunnan, from 28 to 56, this is a normal age with spending power. I am 26 years old. I went there last month. Those in my group who were 28 and above were 1,400 or 1,500 yuan, and mine was 2,400 yuan. Those who sign up for 3,000, sign up for 2,000 and sign up for 1,000 will definitely not be the same.

If you are under 28, the price will be very different between you two. You need to go shopping in Yunnan. Those over 28 years old can get off with 1,400 or 1,500. They have worked for a while and have a certain amount of savings.

Tell me your age. If you are older, it will not be easy to receive you. Including air tickets, the price is 2180. There is shopping, but there is no compulsory consumption.

What makes people laugh or cry is that some travel agency staff said frankly that tourists who bought a special shopping tour will need a stronger psychological quality to bear the bad attitude of the tour guide if they don't buy it.

Staff: To be honest, I won’t force the purchase, but it is a bit “semi-forced purchase”. If you don’t buy anything, the tour guide will say something like, what can you do with this little money, even a plane ticket is not enough. It's free there, and the tour guide will say, you see, I'm not a welfare worker, you don't give any money, and you don't give any blood, how can I make money from you. If you are a group with strong purchasing power, if you don’t buy, the tour guide will be confused. But unfortunately if your group doesn’t buy anything, the tour guide will definitely be impatient. No one can control whether the tour guide says something rude or looks ugly.

This is indeed true. In the widely circulated video of a Yunnan tour guide insulting tourists, the tour guide in charge of the Lijiang section of Kunming, Dali, stood on the bus and spent almost five minutes hurling bad words at the tourists.

Tour guide: If you have no conscience, no morality, and no virtue, you are not worthy of sitting in my car. If someone tells you that there is no need to buy anything, go to a travel agency. Why are you eating, drinking, and having fun with me? What kind of mentality do you have, are you cheating on me by cheating on people by eating, drinking, playing, cheating on flights? If you have this mentality, then I'm sorry, but the event is canceled tonight and I will buy my own plane ticket to go back. Our travel agency is not responsible.

The tour guide did not expect that this incident would cause an uproar. She once said that if the tour fee is enough and the travel agency has paid the tour guide his due, he can do whatever he wants. How could something like this happen? In other words, for low-priced tours like this, only if tourists shop and spend a lot can you get paid for leading the tour.
