Why is it so cheap to travel to Thailand in a group?

Thailand is known as the land of smiles, and it has become extremely popular in the past two years. Searching for travel to Thailand on the Internet, the prices are all mixed up, ranging from three thousand to four thousand, and two to three thousand. Part of the reason why travel agency prices are cheap is that the travel agency has a relatively large number of tour groups, including air tickets, hotels, entertainment and other items. , you can get relatively favorable prices. However, the editor feels that if the price is too cheap, don’t quote it because there may be risks of high hidden consumption, forced shopping, and low quality. Why is it so cheap to travel to Thailand in a group? You must know the tricks inside!

First of all, let’s talk about round-trip air tickets. Travel agencies and airlines have signed agreements. If you get a ticket, you have to get it for a whole year, and the airline will make different plans according to different periods. Regarding the fare system, if it is the peak tourist season, the price offered by the airline will be higher, and if it is the off-season, the ticket price will be lower.

Travel costs are generally high during holidays and low during normal times. Of course, we do not rule out the possibility that travel agencies may release low-priced tours during the peak tourist season. Because the prices are high, they cannot be sold and they lose money. You also need to sell them, because if you don’t sell the tickets, you will lose money. If you sell them, you can get back a little bit of your money.

Secondly, travel agencies, hotels, and chartered cars also have one-stop service cooperation, and the price will be cheaper than buying it individually. Another reason for the low prices of travel agencies is that there are several must-visit shops and shopping spots in the itinerary. Generally speaking, as long as you bring people there, the shopping store will get a rebate, because most of the people who go there will buy things. of. The other thing is commission. A relative of mine signed up for a group trip to Thailand and bought tens of thousands of dollars worth of useless jewelry. She was deceived. Travel agencies must have made money by having tourists like her. Usually the rebates can reach 30%. --50% as much.

The Royal Jewelry Center of Thailand is known as the best pit in the world. It is probably designed specifically for Chinese people. The tour guide on the car will tell you that each gemstone has an appraisal certificate, and you can also pay 30% upfront and wait until you return to China. After the appraisal is completed, you pay the remaining money. Only Chinese people come to this jewelry center, only Chinese people, Chinese people! ! ! As soon as you enter, you first go to a spherical dome hall. The most advanced spherical digital large screen, rich in technology, will play you a five-minute short film, all in Chinese! ! The promotional video was played in a closed environment. After it was played, the door to the mall opened, and people started to pick various gems crazily after being brainwashed... They were all fake!

The disadvantage of joining a tour group is that it will take you to some shopping spots, including the Royal Thai Latex Center. This time you are going to buy latex pillows and mattresses. Like the previous two, these shopping places are all Specially designed for Chinese people, specially! ! ! But I just want to say that things are too expensive. A pillow costs 568 yuan, and no counter-offer is allowed. I have asked for the same thing in two latex pillow stores in downtown Pattaya, and it only costs 300 yuan, which is a little better. More discount!

Thailand’s economic development is not as good as that in China, so Chinese people will feel that prices are very cheap when they go there. Chinese tourists can't resist the urge to buy whenever they visit tourist spots. They want to try anything they have never eaten or done before. After they have more things to do, they will feel that traveling abroad is like a domestic trip to Yunnan. So many people don’t worry too much about money. Many locals can speak Chinese. After all, there are too many tourists from China. On the streets of Thailand, you can hear Chinese everywhere, even if you choose to travel independently, it doesn’t matter.
