Yunnan Kanghui Travel Agency’s one-day tour of Stone Forest costs RMB 180 including tickets and accommodation. Is it trustworthy?

Don’t go, I’m just in the tourism industry.

Actually, think about how it is possible to visit Stone Forest at such a low price. Let me do the math for you. The entrance fee to the Stone Forest is 175 yuan, and three meals a day. No matter how cheap it is, it’s still 35 yuan. Plus the round trip fare is 20 yuan, and the accommodation is 80 yuan cheaper. You can calculate it yourself. How much does it cost? It’s at least the same for everyone. With a direct cost of 310 yuan, the driver, tour guide and travel agency still make money, so why would he quote you such a low price? Let me tell you the trick.

Every time a tour guide picks up a person, he loses more than 100, so he must get the money back, and he wants to make more, how can he make it. Make money by entering shopping stores, bathhouses, temples, etc. to collect head fees, parking fees, shopping commissions, etc. If you take the bus from Kunming at 8 o'clock in the morning, you have to go to at least three or so various stores along the way, some for shopping, some for tea, some for handicrafts, etc. Wait until almost 1 o'clock in Shilin and eat in 30 minutes Good food. You can only enter the Stone Forest Scenic Area at 2 o'clock. That is, you can visit the Stone Forest scenic spot very close to the gate for up to two hours. Then you get on the bus and go shopping all the way from Stone Forest to Kunming. When you arrive in Kunming, it will be around 7 or 8 o'clock. This is the itinerary for a day trip to the Stone Forest. You will not spend more than two hours in the scenic spot, and the rest will be spent in shopping malls. If tourists buy less and the tour guide gets less commission, the tour guide’s service attitude will be quite bad because he will lose money. Do you feel comfortable with such a tour? Let me tell you, it is quite unpleasant.

In fact, the Stone Forest is very close, so why bother to join a group? You can just take a car and wander there by yourself. You can go to the scenic spot to your heart’s content and admire everything. You can go wherever you want and rest wherever you want. , If something looks good, just look at it. If something doesn’t look good, change places immediately. This way, you can be more casual and follow your heart. This is called traveling. With a travel agency, you will be very angry! ! !
