Going to Macau and a group tour are all shopping groups. How to avoid compulsory shopping?

With the improvement of people's living standards, tourism has become the choice of most people for holidays. People like to travel independently, while others prefer to follow a tour group. Whether you are traveling freely or with a group, you have your own advantages. It's just that I often hear negative news about group tours on the Internet, and most of them point to compulsory consumption in group tours.

Compared with group tours, the biggest advantage of free travel is peace of mind. Paying money is equivalent to getting everything done, but the biggest disadvantage of traveling with a group is that the whole itinerary is set by others, and there are too many constraints on both scenic spots and time. In addition, the most important and controversial issue is compulsory consumption. Some netizens even broke the news that some people traveled with a group, and 70% of the time in the whole trip was in the mall.

In any case, personally, I have always believed that "a penny is worth a penny". It is often seen that some travel agencies will release extremely low prices as gimmicks in order to attract people, and even Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan only need a few hundred dollars for six days and five nights. This kind of tour group is obviously tricky. But if you are a little more rational, you will want to understand that a few hundred dollars' trip to Hong Kong and Macao is not enough for a round-trip ticket, not to mention accommodation and dining, no shopping and no compulsory consumption. It's impossible! What does the travel agency expect to make money?

Most regular travel agencies will clearly indicate whether there is shopping in the whole itinerary, so when choosing a travel agency, try to choose a regular travel agency with good quality and good reputation. Don't blindly report a low-priced tour for the sake of cheapness. Be sure to ask whether to enter the shopping store. Even if some tour groups arrange to enter the shopping store, it will be clearly stated that it is not compulsory consumption. These should be asked clearly, and the travel agency had better clearly write them into the agreement you signed.

Normal price consumption, according to the normal tour group, will still be forced to consume, and can strive for the best interests for themselves. It should be noted that if the resistance fails, try not to confront the tour guide. After all, people from other places and strangers should first protect their personal safety. Be sure to keep receipts such as shopping receipts at that time. When you come back, you can talk to your travel agency. If not, you can call the consumer protection hotline to complain.
