How to prevent scams and scams when traveling during the Spring Festival?

The name "Snow Country" is very poetic. It not only has pure snow, but also has a friendly local atmosphere-if you are also a person who likes to travel, this simple idea is dangerous.

The tour guide actually confidently said to tourists, "Nine months to sharpen a knife, three months to slaughter a sheep." , who is the sheep? Everyone is a sheep." The incident of forcibly selling package tickets has not yet been settled. A recording of a male tour guide cursing and beating tourists while leading a group to Xuexiang has gone viral on the Internet.

In order to get tourists to buy the 1680 rides, this female tour guide not only hinted that tourists are lambs to be slaughtered, but also threatened the consequences of not renting snow suits: "The men were frozen to the extreme Paraplegia, female infertility. "Under these circumstances, who dares not to buy a package?

Guide to prevent sky-high price tour groups

Routine 1: Travel is fake and shopping is real

Travel agencies are often divided into two types: group agencies and local travel agencies. The tour group organization is responsible for attracting customers and making money based on the "head count". The travel agency is responsible for reception, and allowing tourists to shop more to earn commission has become one of the sources of profit for many travel agencies.

Many so-called “attractions” are actually invisible shopping spots. All shopping attractions must enter the store. If tourists do not buy something, they may be "taunted" or even "threatened" by the tour guide.

Routine 2: Claiming free travel and temporarily increasing prices

Some illegal travel agencies also claim free travel, but temporarily increase prices. Be especially careful if the travel agency does not sign a contract with you, or if you receive flyers for low-price travel or even free travel at the train station or on the street.

In addition to traveling in a group, you should also be careful when traveling independently. There are always traps you can’t think of waiting for you. Please read the following guide carefully:
