Why can’t tour groups force consumption?

1. Choose a reliable travel agency

In the final analysis, some tourists are just looking for cheap deals and offer tour groups with unbelievably cheap registration fees. There will definitely be tricks in such tour groups. For example, tour guides are actually connected with tourist attractions, and you can get very high commissions when purchasing items from tourist attractions. Otherwise, why would the registration fee be so cheap? The wool still comes from the sheep. So, what should we do in the face of the dazzling travel agencies? As for the choice, the first one is to choose a qualified big hotel. You can pass through some small hotels with no license first, and then there are tour groups organized by some illegal organizations. Choosing a qualified travel agency can avoid the above situations to the greatest extent. Another thing is to choose a tour group with a price that meets the actual situation. There must be tricks in low-priced tours. We all know this truth. For example, would you sign up for a seven-day Yunnan tour for two people for only 300? 300 yuan is not even enough for a plane ticket. Faced with this situation, we must refuse the temptation and not be greedy for small gains and suffer big losses. In the end, if you can travel independently, don’t choose to travel with a group. This is the safest way.

After returning home, immediately go to the travel agency with evidence and materials to complain about the tour guide's compulsory consumption behavior. If the travel agency turns its back and refuses to recognize the person, it can also expose its behavior in the media and the Internet. If that doesn't work, you can also take the evidence and materials to the court. Prosecution.

According to the provisions of the "Tourism Law", if the situation is true, tour guides and travel agencies will be fined 1-5 times, suspend operations and make serious rectifications, their business licenses will be revoked, and they will also be listed as bad in the tourism industry. Credit list.

Finally, let’s summarize:

First, don’t be greedy for petty gains, don’t believe in pie in the sky, read the contents of the agreement and contract clearly before traveling and sign up for a tour, whether it is written clearly Shopping point.

2. If you really encounter it, you can buy some local specialties. It doesn’t matter where you buy it. If the tour guide asks you to buy something you don’t need, then act according to the situation and buy it first or resolutely. If you don’t buy this, it depends on the tour guide’s attitude.

3. Try not to conflict with the tour guide. If you run out of money, you can go back and complain to him. Personal safety is the most important thing. If you are unfamiliar with the place, don’t do anything too dangerous.
