Why Do We Always Worry About Being Scammed and Ripped Off While Traveling Domestically in China, Unlike When Traveling Abroad?

Here is Cool Girl's Walk and Talk Shop.

Now with the progress of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people's pursuit of quality of life is also getting higher, and tourism has become more and more a way of life. But even frequent travelers are always worried about wasting money, especially domestic tourism, which seems to be led by tour guides and Chinese overseas Chinese guides to shopping stores, free travel may also happen of staying being deceived, even being threatened.

However, if you have been abroad, we will find that in foreign tourism, this situation is rare, even if there are shopping 'pit', it is often because of the Chinese guide or Chinese overseas Chinese guide, so it is much better. Staying and eating feel more reassuring than domestic, this is because of what?

First of all, I think it is also because of the domestic tourism model. Especially the tour guides don't get wages, only by encouraging tourists to buy things to get income, they have to survive, so they naturally want to make money, even if they use methods to achieve this. Not talking about the tourists who are unwilling to spend money, most tourists don't want to spend money or be forced to spend money, the most direct and effective way for tour guides is to lure and persuade to buy, and even develop into intimidation and threat. This tourism model's consequences, for tour guides, if they want to make money, the simplest and most direct method is to let tourists buy things, as long as tourists spend money on things, the tour guides can get a commission or other names, which allows the tour guides to have 'living expenses'.

Similarly, it's also about the tourism model. Our travel time is almost concentrated, short holidays, Golden Week, popular tourist attractions include the catering, hotels and shops related to these tourist attractions, the annual income is based on a few months or a few days, if it's not 'duping' a knife, it's hard to convince people.

And foreigners' tourism is a comprehensive, all-time tourism. What is 'whole-area tourism' is a new concept in recent years. When people have been abroad, they know that foreign tourist attractions have cheap tickets or no tickets, which is the opposite of the domestic high-priced tickets. This makes it easier for people to visit and tour. As long as you come, it's okay to eat and stay, and then buy some souvenirs to take back, forming a mutually beneficial and mutually promoting cycle between the tourist attractions and surrounding businesses, 'duping' is self-destructive, so no one would do it.

Besides, as mentioned above, our holidays are fixed and concentrated, either the tourist attractions are overcrowded or deserted, and the tourist attractions cannot take effective measures to attract wealthy and leisure people, without income sources, they can only rely on selling tickets, and the merchants are good at short-term gains, and there are many Chinese people, so one 'duping' can cover enough.

Of course, Chinese people don't dislike spending money, 'poor family, rich road' is not willing to spend money to make money, not to be 'taken advantage of' to spend money. When traveling abroad, everyone has a sense of spending money, even if it's a budget travel, you still need to consider meals and lodging. Self-driving tourists don't care about a little money, the problem is that 'sky-high lobster' is not worth the money, self-driving people wouldn't have this money, the key is being deceived, being cheated, feeling cheated and embarrassed, which is unacceptable.

Spending a little more money on travel might regret it later, but it doesn't matter, after all, travel is about having fun, as long as you feel it's worth it, you'll still enjoy traveling next time.

The high ticket prices are acceptable, and 'luring and selling' and 'duping' are intolerable, so in recent years, more and more people have traveled abroad, so many countries have regarded Chinese tourists as economic development savers, and they have taken many measures to cater to Chinese tourists, one sentence: Chinese, come and shop!

In fact, China's population is large, and there are various travel needs, such as 'silver hair' (elderly travel), 'parent-child travel', and 'couple travel', which can all be done in a comprehensive and all-time way, especially with the increase of car ownership, families can drive anytime, and the tourist attractions have fewer tickets, so merchants can sell them for a long time, and promote the overall development of the area, which is not impossible. Foreign countries have more mature tourism models, which are standardized and operated, which is worth learning.
