Why did the tour group go shopping? Didn't the tour guide stop it?

I remember what happened when my family took part in several shopping tours. I remember that it was around 28, when my mother took my cousin and me to Guilin, and our three children were still on vacation in junior high school. At that time, they signed up for a tour group.

As the saying goes, Guilin's landscape is the best in the world.

I have to say that Guilin's landscape is still very beautiful. What impressed me most during my several days' travel itinerary was a boat trip to the Lijiang River, which was really slow. Other scenic spots, as long as they were on land, were particularly busy. It has been many years, and I can't remember the specific itinerary. I only remember being dragged by the tour guide to go shopping for 3-4 times and taking us to buy local products on the last day.

There are jade shops, health care products shops and all kinds of shopping shops we want. Because we didn't meet a shopping group during our trip, we didn't have much preparation. At that time, the whole family didn't have a credit card, and everyone only brought a few hundred dollars in cash for emergencies. I remember only buying a string of colored glasses at the jade shop.

The experience of this trip was really poor, but the tour guide didn't force us to shop. He just took us to the shopping place, and then all kinds of good words advised us to buy things. Later, because we didn't have much money on us, the tour guide simply asked us to sit in the car and wait for them to finish shopping. I felt that the tour guide was okay!

Later, my mother went to Hong Kong to play once in 216, and there was also a shopping session. The experience was not bad. The tour guide didn't force everyone to buy things, but some of them reminded everyone to buy things. Later, my mother bought two watches, a jade bracelet and a video camera. Generally speaking, it was okay!

Although I have never met a tour group that forced shopping, I have also seen some news similar to Xiaomin's experience. Once I saw a news that a customer complained about the tour group because the tour group forced them to go shopping and buy things. If there were people who didn't buy things, the tour guide would cynically say that they were guarded at the door and wouldn't leave if they didn't buy them. After they traveled home, they reported it to the local authorities.
