Is "low price" the fundamental reason why old people are cheated in travel?

At present, due to the frequent business trips of the elderly, some unscrupulous businesses have taken advantage of this opportunity to start targeting the elderly. "Migratory bird tourism" should have become a lever to incite "sunset tourism" and "off-season tourism" and bring vitality to the tourism market. However, criminals are also eyeing the "cake" of the elderly market, taking "low price" as a gimmick to attract the elderly to participate in group tours. During the trip, poor service and forced shopping ... the elderly should have "gone out to enjoy" but turned into "going out to suffer".

The relevant person in charge of the Beijing Tourism Commission pointed out that travel agencies publish low-priced tourist routes or declare "tail orders", "off-season" and "promotions" to attract tourists and organize tourism activities at low prices. After tourists "shop around", most of them will choose lower-priced tourism products in the spirit of "low price", especially elderly friends.

However, in the actual itinerary, travel agencies often gain benefits by adding extra paid travel items and arranging tourists to shop, which makes it difficult for tourists to ride a tiger. At the same time, if tourists do not participate in paid tours, the travel society will arrange tourists at the gate of the scenic spot and on the bus. Visitors will wait for several hours and can only leave after other tourists in the same group who have participated in the paid tour have finished. Other travel agencies force tourists to shop and threaten to get on the bus with shopping receipts. In desperation, tourists have to pay for things. Sometimes, the quality of the things they buy is not satisfactory, and the money is not happy. Therefore, when choosing tourism products, tourists should not be deceived by travel agencies with words such as "tail list", "off-season" and "promotion". Remember that "the wool is on the sheep", making money and making profits is the fundamental purpose of these unscrupulous businesses.
