What are the tricks of low-cost tour groups?

the tricks behind low-cost tour groups are summarized as follows;

1. Attracting consumers at the cost price. The land agency only accepts the cost price when accepting the tour group, and is even willing to post money to the tour group to attract price-sensitive customers.

2. Choose tourists when organizing a group. In order to minimize the risk, low-cost groups will consider factors such as occupation, gender, age and region, and tour guides will use the potential comparison psychology of tourists from different regions to stimulate consumption.

3. False promises not to consume. When low-cost groups recruit tourists, they claim that there will be no shopping projects. However, these promises are mostly verbal and will not be written into the contract. Once there is a dispute afterwards, it is difficult for tourists to defend their rights.

4. Reserve money. Low-cost tour groups will ask tourists to put some money in advance for various reasons and promise to return it after returning. If tourists spend less than a certain amount of money in the purchase process, the money will be detained.

5. Reduce travel costs. Tour guides can save money by minimizing the standards of catering, accommodation and transportation.

6. arrange for kickbacks in the purchase process, and the land agency will generally cooperate with the shopping point, and the shopping mall will pay the travel agency a fixed head fee whether shopping or not. Shopping stores give rebates to travel agencies and tour guides to provide profit space for travel agencies with zero negative group fees.

7. Induce tourists to spend money. In order to shop, tour guides will use 18 kinds of martial arts to take advantage of tourists' trust in tour guides, and it will come naturally when they are induced to spend money in shopping stores.

8. Force tourists to spend money. If the induced consumption is not smooth, and some people are unwilling or explicitly refuse to shop, tour guides will generally use both complaints and threats, which is very insulting and abusive.

9. Add charging items. Some low-cost groups will add items to their itinerary and charge fees. They even take advantage of tourists' ignorance of the market to go to free scenic spots but charge entrance fees.

1. Invisible consumption. Tourists are asked to pay for tourist attractions in the name of praying to the Buddha and collecting donations. There are also some famous places that are madly robbed, fireworks parties or water-splashing festivals that are temporarily attended, and most of them have problems.
