Japanese black tour guides earn as much as 3 million in three months?

A few days ago, some media inquired about nine tour guides who accompanied the China tour group in the Ginza business district of Tokyo. As a result, only 1 person holds the qualification certificate, and others are "unlicensed tour guides". Some people even said they didn't know to research. According to the estimation of relevant Japanese institutions, there are thousands of tour guides who receive tourists from China in Japan, most of whom are "unlicensed tour guides".

A veteran of the Japanese tourism industry, who did not want to be named, said that after receiving the list of tour groups, Japan Land Agency usually contacted tour guides and people commonly known as "Big Brother" in the industry, and entrusted it to the "Big Brother" at a price of 20,000 to 30,000 yen (about RMB1.20,000 to1.80,000 yuan), and then the "Big Brother" distributed it to the "Little Brother".

Most of these "little brothers" are from Chinese mainland, Hongkong and Taiwan Province, and some of them are from the mainland. Most of them are not qualified as regular foreign language guides (interpreters). They only received short-term training as "accompanying readers" and rushed to work after graduation. A "black tour guide" revealed that working in Japan for three months can earn 3 million yen (about 6.5438+0.8 million yuan).

Japan's Foreign Language Tour Guide Law clearly stipulates that, except for volunteers, people who do not have foreign language tour guide qualifications may not engage in tour guide work such as explaining tourist attractions. In addition, according to the law, tour guides are not allowed to sell goods to customers or force tourists to visit scenic spots or shops; It is forbidden for tour guides to take kickbacks in any name, and offenders will be arrested.

However, "black tour guides" often brainwash tourists on unsupervised buses, and when they arrive at the scenic spots, they pretend to be accompanied by ordinary groups without any explanation. This makes it impossible for many Japanese investigators to trace it.

The Embassy of China in Japan reminds Japanese tourists to be vigilant against the persuasion of tour guides, the propaganda of merchants and verbal promises when traveling and shopping, and not to listen to their exaggerated propaganda and buy health food as medicine. Before buying health care products, you should do your homework, fully understand the price and efficacy of the products through various channels, and make rational consumption.
