Can I choose not to go shopping when I meet a shopping spot when traveling with a group?

You can choose not to go, because shopping is not compulsory, and you can choose to do it according to your own ideas.

That's what I did when I traveled last year. I didn't go shopping. When signing up for a tour group, you should ask whether it is compulsory shopping, because compulsory shopping is generally much cheaper to sign up for a tour group.

For example, some regular tour groups will make it clear to customers in advance whether it is because activities or shopping are cheap. Of course, it does not rule out deliberately attracting people to travel and buy things.

Before, a friend's mother traveled to Yunnan, and when she went there, she said she didn't buy anything, but when she came back, she brought a lot of big bags and small bags. Because this kind of tour group will take people to various shopping spots after going, and others will be moved if one person buys it, because people just think that not buying it is a loss.

Moreover, the goods at each shopping point are different, and buying the same thing will buy a lot. The prices of things in these shopping spots are not cheap, and sometimes you have to pay before you think clearly.

So be sure to ask before signing up for a tour. I asked very clearly when I signed up for a trip with my friends last year. At that time, the tour guide said that it was not mandatory to buy things, but it was up to her to decide whether to buy them or not.

Then we didn't go to the shopping spot she said. Some people followed the tour guide through the shopping spot, but the tour guide just casually mentioned it and didn't say that they must buy it.

And many people, like us, choose to leave the tour guide team, say hello to the tour guide, agree on the meeting place and the subsequent itinerary, and then go to the scenic spots they are interested in.

Therefore, tour groups can choose not to go in when they meet shopping spots. Don't buy expensive things that you have to go in. If it's cheap, you can buy some if you need it.
