How to prevent the tourist shopping trap?

First, what should tourists pay attention to before choosing a tour group?

1, you must choose a regular travel agency, and don't believe the rhetoric of soliciting customers from railway stations and bus stations. Everyone is the same.

2. Try to choose a trip that is purely fun and does not require your own money. This kind of travel is generally more expensive than similar travel, but it is relatively safe. If you have to choose a low-priced group, you should be mentally prepared. Nothing for nothing. According to the regulations of the National Tourism Administration, tourists who sign up for low-cost tours are not protected.

5. Travel agencies and tour guides know or should know that the operators of shopping places have records that seriously damage the rights and interests of tourists;

6. Travel agencies and tour guides collect kickbacks and other illegitimate interests from shopping operators;

7. The operators of shopping places are under the circumstances stipulated in Article 56 of the Consumer Protection Law;

8. Other acts of travel agencies, tour guides and shopping place operators that harm the legitimate rights and interests of tourists by arranging shopping as stipulated by laws and regulations.
