Why do some tour guides take you shopping?

I used to travel a lot, too. I think traveling in some places can really bring tourists a very good travel experience, but in some places, it is not satisfactory, which makes your whole trip very unhappy.

First of all, there are too many shopping arrangements during the trip, which makes people very disgusted. For example, once we traveled to Xi 'an, we just arrived in Xi 'an, and after a cursory look at a scenic spot, the tour guide took us to the shopping place. After that, a person gave us a plastic bag, saying that it was reserved for us to hold things. Because I was particularly disgusted, I didn't want that plastic bag, and the tour guide was very dissatisfied. Later, they said that the merchants gave the tour guide a commission according to the amount of plastic bags sent out. And took us to two or three shopping spots in succession, but I didn't buy anything. Other people bought a lot of things, and the tour guide's face was full of joy.

Secondly, the guide will take you to some temples. In some of our long-distance tours, almost every time the tour guide will take you to the temple, you will be asked to burn incense to worship Buddha and give incense money when you arrive at the temple, and you will also say that this is good for your future generations. Because of this statement, everyone would rather believe it and pay for it in succession and put it in the merit box. However, everyone still has a feeling of being cheated, which has brought a very bad experience to their journey.

thirdly, there is a big gap between tourist attractions and propaganda. On some posters, the tourist attractions are particularly well described and beautifully photographed, but when they arrive at the scene, they are quite different from their own imagination. Such a tour will definitely leave a very bad impression on you, and you won't go to such tourist attractions again in the future.

fourthly, the residents of the tourist destination leave a very bad impression on you, which will also have a bad impression on your tourist destination. Because we haven't traveled to a place, many local residents are soliciting tourists or selling some local souvenirs or souvenirs. In this process, some people with no quality will have a coercive behavior, which will greatly reduce your mental mood and produce some bad impressions on local people.

In short, a good trip can bring you a happy feeling, and at the same time, you will be moved by the ethnic customs there, and you want to travel here again. If there are things that make you feel bad during your trip, you will not only feel the joy of traveling, but also have a conflict with your destination and don't want to travel here again.
