Can China Consumers Association report the "age surcharge" charged to the elderly for consumption warning?

This is illegal. Of course you can report it.

Some travel agencies charge extra for the elderly, not because the elderly need to provide special services, which increases the cost of travel agencies, but because the elderly have low spending power and less shopping or no shopping will bring income to travel agencies, so they use over-age fees to make up for the losses. This discriminatory practice is illegal in all countries.

The "age surcharge" is prohibited by the state. When signing up for a tour, you should carefully read the contents of the travel contract, check whether the additional fees, itinerary and charging items are reasonable before signing the payment, and beware of the trap behind the group purchase price.

Some travel agencies attract tourists with advertisements such as "group purchase price", "low-priced group tour" and "free travel", and their services in terms of itinerary, transportation and accommodation conditions are greatly discounted. Therefore, when choosing travel agencies and products, elderly consumers should pay more attention to the quality of tourism products and choose tourist routes according to their physical condition and affordability.

In fact, non-travel agencies are not allowed to travel with groups. Health products companies organize "free tours" to promote their products, and most of the time they are selling. If the elderly have a travel plan, they should choose a regular travel agency and never take advantage of this "free travel".
