How to treat low-cost tour groups?

There are many tricks behind the low-priced group. It seems that you can travel with a small amount of money, but in fact, you can't eat well, you can't live well, you haven't seen many tourist attractions and you haven't been to many shopping stores. In the end, it's not only more expensive than others' pure tour, but also I don't know what I visited.

At present, it is the peak season of summer tourism, and travel agencies or online platforms focus on launching products, which is dazzling. Some tour groups attract attention with "low prices". How low is the price? Playing by yourself is cheaper than a round-trip ticket!

Low-cost travel itself is a way for travel agencies to promote sales. The main reason is information asymmetry, especially tourists' one-sided understanding of tourism and unclear internal income operation of travel agencies. If the travel cost is lower than the cost price, the travel society will make up for the loss by inducing forced shopping and increasing self-funded items.

Now let's take a look at the tricks behind the "low-cost tour group"!

There are shopping shops in the name of scenic spots in the itinerary, such as: Tibetan grass is suitable for living, Tibetan legends, Tibetan family visits, characteristic folk village, XXX experience hall, XX villa, XXX Expo center and so on. , are all shopping groups.

In order to reduce costs and necessary expenses. To the same scenic spot, there will be cable cars or cruise ships to pick up and drop off pure tour groups, but low-cost tour groups or pseudo-pure tour groups need to walk or ride at their own expense.

Today's tour guides will not force you to shop, but will recommend local silver ornaments, local products and other commodities, shops in your hometown and so on. As long as you buy it, you can get a rebate, which means that the cost of the product itself is extremely low, there are quality problems, and the price is too high. Most of the money is earned by tour guides and travel agencies.

The tour guide will take you to see some recreational activities, such as horseback riding and archery. Although it will not be mandatory, the tour guide will strongly recommend it to you and get kickbacks from these projects.

By adding free attractions, shopping groups and pseudo-pure play groups will add many free attractions. A day's visit seems to be rich in scenic spots, but the cost is low, deliberately creating the illusion of many sightseeing projects and missing the places that are really worth visiting.

In short, the unreasonable low-price tour means that operators use tourists' greed to attract customers at low prices, and then make illegal profits by cheating and forcing tourists to shop.

For example, tour guides will keep PUA tourists, constantly control the language, innuendo, spend money generously, and listen to publicity while eating lunch. . In order to brainwash everyone and make a good introduction to shopping, the tour guide tells endless stories of not believing in ghosts and a few self-moving proverbs. The introduction of human scenery has been passed down from generation to generation, and everything he says will be introduced to jade, Tibetan medicine and Cordyceps. If you keep talking for hours, you won't have a moment's rest.

Don't ask me how I know, I don't want to recall!
