Why are travel agencies all low-cost groups?

Nowadays, more and more people travel abroad, and the trap of illegal "low-cost travel" is becoming more and more severe. So, don't be credulous, there is something fishy about low-cost tour groups! Of course, tourists also have the responsibility to prevent unreasonable "low-cost tours".

The tricks behind low-cost tour groups are summarized as follows:

1, attracting consumers at cost price.

The ground agency only accepts the cost price when accepting tour groups, and is even willing to give money to tour groups to attract price-sensitive customers.

2. Choose tourists when organizing a group.

In order to minimize the risk, low-cost tour groups will consider factors such as occupation, gender, age and region, and tour guides will use the potential comparison psychology of tourists from different regions to stimulate consumption.

3. False promises not to consume.

When low-cost tour groups attract tourists, they claim that there will be no shopping projects, but most of these promises are only verbal and will not be written into the contract. In the event of a dispute afterwards, it is difficult for tourists to defend their rights.

4. Reserve funds.

Low-cost tour groups will ask tourists to put some money first for various reasons and promise to return it when they come back. If tourists spend less than a certain amount during the purchase, the money will be detained.

5. Reduce travel costs.

Tour guides save money by lowering the standards of catering, accommodation and transportation as much as possible.

6, arrange the purchase link to eat kickbacks.

Generally speaking, the land agency will cooperate with the shopping point, and the shopping mall will pay the travel agency a fixed head fee whether shopping or not. Shopping stores give kickbacks to travel agencies and tour guides, and provide profit space for travel agencies with zero negative group fees.

7. Induce tourists to spend.

In order to shop, the tour guide will use 18 kinds of martial arts to make use of the tourists' trust in the tour guide, and it will naturally come when the shopping store induces consumption.

8. Force tourists to spend.

If the induced consumption is not smooth, and some people are unwilling or explicitly refuse to shop, tour guides will generally complain and threaten, which is very insulting and abusive.

9. Increase fees.

Some low-cost groups will add items to their itinerary and charge fees, and even take advantage of tourists' ignorance of the market to charge admission fees for free attractions.

10, invisible consumption.

Tourist attractions require tourists to pay money in the name of praying to God, worshiping Buddha and raising money. There are also some well-known hotels that rob scenic spots, fireworks parties or water-splashing festivals that are temporarily attended, and most of them have problems.

Conclusion: Greedy for petty gain may lead to big losses. There are too many things falling from the sky. There is something fishy about this low-priced tour group at first glance, and I don't understand why many people will still be fooled.
