What should I do if the tour guide forces shopping?

If you meet a tour guide who is forced to shop, you can consider the following methods:

Refuse to shop: You have the right to choose your own consumption behavior. If you don't want to shop, you can tell the tour guide and refuse to participate in shopping activities. You can express your position, such as "I don't want to shop, I just want to visit tourist attractions".

negotiate with other passengers: if you don't want to refuse shopping alone, you can negotiate with other passengers. If enough passengers object to shopping, the tour guide may change his plan.

negotiate with the tour guide: you can explain your position to the tour guide and ask if you can take part in other activities or go to other scenic spots. If the tour guide insists on the shopping plan very much, you can ask the tour guide if he can leave the shopping place by himself or wait elsewhere.

Complaint: If the tour guide insists on shopping, you can complain to the travel agency or the local tourism department. This is usually the last choice, but if you think your rights and interests have been violated, you can consider taking this method.

It should be noted that if you want to refuse shopping, you'd better inform the tour guide in advance and make a clear agreement with the tour guide when arranging the itinerary. If the tour guide doesn't inform the shopping plan in advance, you can raise an objection to the tour guide. When dealing with such problems, we should keep calm and respect the opinions of tour guides and other passengers.
