What you usually buy during low-price group travel shopping are related to local specialties, including food, clothing and other items. I believe that many people have the shopping experience of low-price tours. It is not so much a trip as a shopping trip. After getting on the bus, the tour guide starts to sell various things. After getting off the bus, he goes directly to the designated shopping point. These processes It really gives me a headache. Some elderly people like this kind of low-price shopping group, mainly because the price is cheap.
1. Local specialties
Take traveling to Huangshan Mountain as an example. Because Huangshan Mountain is famous for its tea, you will visit various tea-related places when traveling with a low-price group. After visiting the factory and museum, there will be sales promotion by the staff. In addition, there are bamboo charcoal, various local specialty snacks and a series of other things. All in all, most of the things purchased by these low-price tour groups are related to local specialties. Some of them are not even local specialties. They feel like they are completely out of reach, just to make tourists spend more money.
2. Disadvantages of low-priced tours
Compared with higher-priced tours, the price of this kind of low-priced tours is indeed very cheap, but it also has constant troubles. Tourists need to waste a lot of time shopping. If they don't spend money, they will look at the tour guide's face and come out to play happily, and finally buy a lot of useless things. In recent years, some netizens have revealed that tour guides often force tourists to buy things. If they are unwilling to buy, they will insult and threaten them. Since we are going out for fun, of course we should follow normal tour groups and should not be greedy for cheap tours like this.
3. Low-price shopping groups are expressly prohibited
In order to rectify this chaos, the state has explicitly prohibited the appearance of low-price tour groups. Once similar problems are found, you can go to the local tourism Department makes a complaint. We must also pay attention when applying for a tour group, try to find a regular tour group, sign the relevant contract, carefully read the above regulations, and never be blinded by the price. Although low-price tours are cheaper, it is the tourists who suffer in the end.
