Why don't tourist shops accept locals and individual travelers?

Deep in the street near a famous scenic spot in Zhangjiajie, the reporter walked into a tourist shopping shop called "Crown Latex" with a low face. At the reception desk on the first floor, the staff are very vigilant. When they saw only two or three reporters and their party, they stopped at once.

"Which travel agency are you from? Which tour guide brought it? " The staff said that the store only serves tour groups, implements VIP reservation system and does not accept individual customers. At the same time, the staff quickly turned out the brochure for registering the name of the travel agency, tour guides and the number of tourists at the front desk. The reporter said he was a tourist from go on road trip. It feels good to listen to tourists from other tour groups buying latex products and really want to buy them. After the receptionist whispered to the compartment for instructions, the general manager of the store personally went downstairs to receive it. The business card was printed with "Pure Natural Latex Mattress/Latex Pillow from Thailand".

Follow the manager through the reception hall and enter through an inconspicuous small door with a hole in it. Showed a beautifully decorated shopping mall with several layers of latex products. Milky white pillow, waist pad, mattress, etc. It is neatly stacked on the shelves, and countless tour groups and shopping guides shuttle through it. The reporter noticed that all kinds of latex products on the shelves were not clearly marked, but the staff had a "promotional price list" for circulation. The price of latex mattresses ranges from several thousand yuan to several hundred thousand yuan, and the price of latex pillows is mostly in 580 yuan.

The general manager told the reporter in a low voice: "If you really want it, we can give you a discount at the VIP price of the tour group." The reporter inquired about the price of a mattress with a thickness of 7.5cm, a width of 1.5 m and a length of 2 m, and the price was 8580 yuan. The general manager said that the minimum discount is about 6000 yuan, which can provide home delivery service. The shop assistant is "well-trained", as vigilant as the receptionist, and keeps an eye on the individual visitors. Once the general manager leaves, reporters will be surrounded by many salesmen.
