China tourists often complain about being cheated when they go to Hongkong. China tourists come to Japan, believing that Japan is an honest society and will not be cheated. As a result, I was cheated, and I was cheated all over with blood.
Travel cheat
For example, a "five nights and six days trip to Japan", domestic travel agencies in China don't arrange flights that leave in the morning at all, but arrange flights that leave in the afternoon and arrive in Tokyo in the evening. As a result, tourists have no place to travel after arriving at Tokyo's Narita Airport and are directly taken to airport hotel to rest.
You know, "Tokyo Narita International Airport" is not in Tokyo, but in Chiba Prefecture. This distance is equivalent to the distance from Suzhou to the center of Shanghai. It takes one and a half hours to drive from expressway.
As a result, domestic travel agencies in China collect tourists' money for one day, while travel agencies in Japan don't spend any money for one day. The profits of this day were quietly divided up by travel agencies in China and Japan. China tourists are just suckers.
However, on the day of returning to China, the travel agency specially arranged the morning flight, and took the tourists to airport hotel the night before, so that the tourists had no chance to travel and shop on the morning of returning to China, and were directly sent back to China. In this way, the so-called "five nights and six days tour to Japan", the real stay in Japan is only four days.
Travel expenses cheat
Travel agencies often offer so-called "low-cost tours to Japan". The so-called "Japan Golden Tour Line" from Tokyo to Mount Fuji to Kyoto Osaka has a minimum price of only 4,111 yuan.
However, when tourists arrive in Japan, Japanese tour guides have to collect money wherever they find them. Go to Disneyland, charge 11,111 yen (about 811 yuan), and go shopping in Ginza, and also charge 4,111 yen (about 321 yuan). As a result, in a few days, the money actually paid to travel agencies and tour guides was 1 times more than the travel expenses, exceeding 8,111 yuan.
Entering from Tokyo Narita Airport, passing through Tokyo, Mount Fuji and Hakone, reaching Kyoto and Osaka, and leaving Kansai Airport, it is called the "golden line".
NHK TV revealed in the program that many tourists are reluctant to spend another 4,111 yen, as long as they cancel the opportunity to go shopping in Ginza, but the tour guide threatened the tourists: "If you don't go, we will inform the Japanese Embassy, and you won't get a visa to Japan in the future."
Finally, the tour guide throws the tourists who really don't want to pay for shopping in Ginza directly into Hibiya Park in Tokyo, which is far away from Ginza, so that the tourists who don't know Japanese and don't know where they are can bask in the sun in the park.
NHK pointed out in the report that these travel agencies that receive tourists from China are basically travel agencies run by Chinese mainland people, Taiwan Province people and Hong Kong people. In a word, they are all "China travel agencies".
Second deception: The tour guide cheated
Shopping deception
Almost all China tourists who arrived in Japan were put on the tourist bus, and the tour guide took the microphone. The first sentence was: "Although Japan is a country ruled by law, there are also liars. Therefore, you must go to the duty-free shop to buy things, where things are the cheapest and safest. "
So, all tourists trust the tour guide, and the next day they are taken to a remote place that is not a commercial street at all, and to a so-called "duty-free shop" opened in a building to buy things.
However, tourists never thought that the price of goods in the "duty-free shop" here was several times higher than that of ordinary Japanese shops, and the tour guide asked for a high rebate from the duty-free shop according to the total shopping price of tourists, with the rebate ratio as high as 25%.
another means of exploiting tourists is to extort money from tourists in disguise under various pretexts. In order to encourage the enthusiasm of tour guides, Japan's travel agencies leave the tourists' meals and travel arrangements to the tour guides' own revenue and expenditure management
, so there is a problem that tour guides rip off tourists indiscriminately. For example, if the "Japan Low-cost Tour" takes shopping in Ginza, each person will be charged an additional 4,111 yen. If a group of 31 people takes a trip to Ginza alone, the tour guide can earn 121,111 yen (about 1,111 yuan). At the same time, the food and beverage expenses of tourists are also the usual practice of these tour guides.
A tour guide confessed to the NHK reporter that in one month, the income from shopping kickbacks and various fees charged by tourists under various pretexts can reach 1 million yen (about 81,111 RMB).
The tour guide said that an unlicensed tour guide from Hong Kong and Taiwan can bring back millions of yen after working for three months.
qualification cheating
Japan's travel law stipulates that tour guides must pass a rigorous examination and obtain the "interpreter (tour guide qualification certificate)" issued by the government before they can take up their posts.
At the same time, the law stipulates that tour guides are forbidden to take kickbacks in any name, and offenders will be arrested. However, NHK reporters asked 21 tour guides with China tour groups in front of the Japanese Imperial Palace. As a result, only 1 of them had qualification certificates, and the others were "unlicensed tour guides".
according to the p>NHK survey, two-thirds of the tour guides come from Taiwan Province and Hongkong.
So, where did these "unlicensed tour guides" come from? According to NHK's investigation, most people are from Taiwan Province and Hongkong, and some are from Chinese mainland.
Some people who are engaged in tour guides in Taiwan Province and Hongkong have the advantage that they can stay in Japan for three months on arrival visas with their passports. They are linked to travel agency bosses and work illegally in Japan as unlicensed tour guides, earning high incomes.
Generally, a person working in Japan for three months can earn 3 million yen or more. And this money is obviously the hard-earned money of China tourists.
Third deception: Duty-free shops tricked p>NHK TV reporters into following the buses of many travel agencies, and found that the "duty-free shops" where China tourists were taken to shop were not home appliance stores or drugstores run by some big Japanese commercial companies (these stores are basically tax-free), but were taken to a remote building that few people usually know about, where they arranged shopping, and were told in advance that "this is the cheapest and cheapest place".
who owns these duty-free shops? Most of them are run by China people (including Hong Kong and Taiwan people) and Koreans.
NHK reporters investigated a kind of health food that tourists in China buy more. The average price of a tablet sold by big Japanese companies is 11 yen, but in these "duty-free shops", it is as high as 69 yen. That is to say, the price of these "duty-free shops" is actually six times higher than that of regular Japanese shops outside.
A tour guide testified that the original price was only 2,111 yen, but it was sold to China tourists at the price of 21,111 yen.
These "duty-free shops" employ a large number of employees from China, and print advertisements exaggerating the effects of healthy foods, promoting that these healthy foods can cure various diseases or improve IQ, and enticing China tourists to pay for these profiteering goods. Of course, in Japan, selling healthy food as medicine is a criminal act that violates the Japanese Drug Administration Law.
So, why do duty-free shops set the prices of goods so high? NHK uncovered the inside story of the profit sharing of these duty-free shops: 51% was withheld by itself, 25% was distributed to travel agencies and 25% to tour guides.
I have no choice but to speak the language, and I don't know the east, west, north and south. Even in Japan, China tourists whose passports have been taken away by tour guides are like a lamb to be slaughtered and put on the chopping block in Japan. Travel agencies and tour guides can slaughter them as they like.
Countless tourists who were slaughtered all over the place insisted on "never going to Japan again" when they returned to China. However, they may not have thought that it was not the Japanese who killed you, but your compatriots!
