How to avoid the "low price temptation" routine of travel agencies?

The routine behind the "low price temptation" of travel agencies is: tourism is fake, shopping is true; Announce free of charge and temporarily increase the price; The standard is lowered and the trip is discounted. Travel is fake, shopping is real.

Unreasonable low-price tour refers to the operators taking advantage of tourists' greed for cheap prices to attract customers at low prices, and then making illegal profits by cheating and forcing tourists to shop. Travel agencies are usually divided into two types: group agencies and land agencies. Travel agencies are responsible for attracting customers and making money according to the number of heads.

The land agency is responsible for the reception, and it has become one of the profit sources for many land agencies to let tourists shop more and earn commissions. Many so-called "attractions" are actually invisible shopping spots. All the shopping spots must enter the store.

If tourists don't buy anything, they may be "complained" by tour guides, or even ridiculed and insinuated, which will affect tourists' travel mood. Announce free, temporary price increase. Some illegal travel agencies still claim to travel for free, but temporarily raise prices.

If the travel agency doesn't sign a contract with you, or if you receive a flyer for a low-cost tour or even a free tour at the train station or on the street, you should be especially careful.

There is no such thing as a free lunch, and there will be no pie in the sky. Some tourists are greedy for petty gain, and may neglect to sign a formal contract with a travel agency for some benefits or discounts. In the end, it is difficult to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests because there is no evidence.

The standard is lowered and the trip is discounted. Li (pseudonym) is a senior this year. Not long ago, she worked as an intern in an international travel agency in Shandong. She told reporters that some travel agencies found it unprofitable after taking tourists to their destinations.
