Is it necessary to travel with a group in Taiwan Province Province?

I think there are many tricks behind low-cost tour groups, the most important of which are the following three tricks: some black tour guides are abusive and force tourists to shop.

It is clear that the customer is the emperor, but there have been many tour guides in China who abuse the customer and force the customer to shop for a specified amount, otherwise they will not let go of the door of the shopping store! In order to attract people and earn commissions, some tour guides of low-priced groups will vilify tourists with the words "If you have money, you won't shop", while others will start to scare away the little black house. Some tourists spend a lot of money to buy jade jewelry, but when they come back for identification, it is not the pure natural material that the merchant said before buying it. When requesting a return, the merchant will handle the return for the tourists at a low price in the name of deducting the handling fee!

Trick 2: the low-priced group is limited in age and needs to pay a surcharge.

For many years, there has been an unwritten rule in the tourism industry to charge an age surcharge for the elderly over 60 and the teenagers under 18. This phenomenon mostly occurs in low-priced tours, such as domestic tours, Hong Kong and Macao feeder tours, and Southeast Asian tourism products. From the perspective of travel agencies, the mobility of the elderly increases the travel risk, and children and students have no spending power, which are all factors that affect the recovery cost and increase the royalty income.

Trick 3: I went to the mall many times during my trip and stayed for a long time.

Friends who often travel with groups must be very familiar with shopping stores! Like local products shops, watch shops, jade shops and silk shops, not to mention the quality of things, they won't let you go out until you shop for an hour. Originally, I went out to travel with a pleasant mood, but I spent a lot of time visiting scenic spots on shopping. Tour around the island in 8 days and 7 nights, there can be at most 7 shopping shops, and the stay time is between 1- 1.5 hours!
