How can we prevent tourists from shopping traps?

Fake regular travel agencies to accept customers at low prices

In places where foreign tourists are concentrated, such as Tiananmen Square, there are always a group of people holding leaflets and enthusiastically asking if you want to go to Badaling Great Wall.

100 A chartered car can buy tickets, and you can also pick up and drop off passengers for free to watch the flag raising.

If you ask him what kind of travel agency he is, most of them will say China Travel Service or Youth Travel Service, and some will say that they are staff of Beijing Tourism Distribution Center. They come out just to facilitate tourists and attract customers.

Some people have leaflets with fake seals of travel agencies, insurance companies and consumer associations to confuse tourists and reduce their vigilance in joining their illegal groups.

Open your mouth to collect money as soon as the car starts.

If you join their individual group, the money will be charged to 100 yuan immediately, and then you will be asked to wait for other individual guests in the car.

After waiting for an hour or two, we can finally start. The black guide's horn rang.

The original 100 yuan covers everything. When you get to the bus, you can only pay part of it, so you will have to pay again. If you don't pay, you can't play.

It's impossible to quit the group, and the car won't even let you down.

Don't talk about scenic spots, advocate shopping.

The tour guides of regular teams all introduce scenic spots, related knowledge and precautions to tourists in the car.

This kind of black group introduces shopping around scenic spots. What's good? It's cheap and can be returned for free. Anyway, it just makes you feel that if you don't buy it, you will lose.

The time to visit scenic spots is compressed, and there is no explanation service.

When you arrive at the scenic spot, the black tour guide will tell you how many minutes it will take for xx scenic spot.

This time is usually only two-thirds or even half of the regular team, so it is impossible to have fun.

So either hurry back and forth, or just stroll around and come back. The tour guide took you to the scenic spot and disappeared.

On the way back, there was fraud in my hometown shop.

The real "mystery" of fraud is on the way back: the tour guide will tell tourists that all vehicles entering Beijing need "security check".

On this ground, I parked my car in the so-called "resting place" along the Beijing Expressway, which is also the "hometown shop".

"Hometown shop" is a kind of name for "roadside shop" near scenic spots in this tourism industry. As the name implies, it is to pretend to be a legitimate tourist shop. This kind of "hometown shop" specializes in "low-cost tour" travelers.

After entering the "rest place", there are always several commentators at the scene, who use the time of "vehicle security inspection" to sell jade to tourists with the tour guide.

In the process of promotion, "Hometown Store" will "transform" into a formal and famous jade company, whose bosses are all jade experts and are very famous at home and abroad.

With enough preparation, the "boss" can finally make a grand debut.

And "bosses" always have "happy events at home" every time. They not only generously gave all tourists a piece of "Myanmar Jade", but also sold the jade in the store to tourists at a 10% discount to induce tourists to buy it. As everyone knows, these "cheap" precious jade articles are fakes.

In the face of these routines of scammers, how to break the game?

120 yuan, 30 yuan, 50 yuan, 80 yuan and other ultra-low prices, or 100 yuan, 120 yuan, 150 yuan, don't go at all.

Remember this sentence is enough! Don't go ... don't go to any one. ......

Try to smile and sweet talk. The purpose of soliciting customers is to gather people. Small advertising leaflets on the street, such as asking price 100 and 120, can be counteroffered to tens of yuan for profit.

There is an extra charge for changing your face immediately after getting on the bus, and you will definitely take it to jade shops and other places for shopping.

Same car, different price. Because if you are soliciting on the street, some people make a counter-offer, and some people don't, so everyone in your car pays different money.

Even in the Beijing Tourism Distribution Center, there are online booking prices, and the prices of the elderly and children are different.

The places that really "pay the tour fee" are: jade shops such as Ruixiang, local products shops, buying Ping 'an brand to worship Buddha and exorcise ghosts, Shenxian Cave fortune telling, free consultation with Chinese medicine practitioners, and high medicine fees. . . . .

5. Kidnapping and joint selling-if you buy tickets, you have to buy ropeway tickets, explanation fees, tickets for small scenic spots inside the scenic spots, and photo copyright fees for the Ming Palace Museum ..... Be wary of this kind of bundled ticket purchase.

When consumers participate in tourism, they should choose a regular travel agency with good reputation; At the same time, when consumers eat and stay in the suburbs by car or self-help, they choose qualified farmhouses to eat and stay.
