Net exposure! A tour guide in Xining, Qinghai complained that tourists did not shop in the car. Should such a tour guide be punished?

Under normal circumstances, tour guides in Xining, Qinghai will be fined. Because there is a precedent for this. On August 9, 2022, a tour guide in Zhangjiajie, Hunan Province ridiculed tourists because he disliked tourists spending less money. Finally, he was severely punished by the travel agency, and the tour guide was suspended and fined 2000 yuan. What's more, he was blacklisted by his peers. The tour guides in Xining also hate tourists shopping and complain less in the car.

The whole incident was filmed by Ms. Zhang and posted online. Ms. Zhang and her family traveled to Qinghai with a group. When they were in the group, they were explicitly told not to shop. However, during the tour, the tour guide strongly recommended Kunlun jade to tourists, clearly telling herself that it was a commission and an opportunity for tourists to repay her for so many days of companionship. But because the purchase did not meet her expectations, she was very dissatisfied. In the car, I accused the tourists of having no conscience. Tourists are strangers and dare to speak out. After the incident, Ms. Zhang told the travel agency that the travel agency would handle it.

China's Tourism Law has clear legal provisions on the behavior of tour guides. If tourists encounter the forced shopping by tour guides, they can complain to the relevant units and ask the travel agency for compensation. According to different situations, different regulations have been made. According to the relevant regulations, after the tour guide's behavior is verified, he will be fined at least 2000 yuan, and his tour guide card will be temporarily suspended or revoked. Although the tour guide thinks that she didn't force tourists to shop, because she stayed in the shopping store for a long time and complained and scolded tourists because their shopping didn't meet expectations, in fact, her behavior also constituted forced shopping.

After the behavior of female tour guides was exposed on the Internet, it caused a heated discussion among netizens. Let the tourists who are preparing to join the group have concerns. A good tour guide can be said to be a place's business card. If you have an excellent tour guide to travel with you, it will make people feel happy. A tour guide like Xining in Qinghai can be said to be a disgrace to the whole tour guide industry.
