The China Guide Goes Hassle-Free with No Unplanned Shopping on All Tours
BEIJING, May 5 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Tour-goers in China have long found problems with travel operators stopping at factories or markets for unplanned forced shopping. These markets are usually disguised as a cultural activity by demonstrating how goods such as jade or silk are produced, followed by a warehouse-sized shop of expensive fixed price goods. The guide and tour company get a large commission on how much tourists spend which is always much higher than the norm. The China Guide (http://www.TheChinaGuide.com ) is making a policy of no unplanned shopping stops on all of their China tours.
Factory shopping stops are an unexpected detour which take time out of seeing the actual sights, create a rushed felling and compromise the traveler's experience and trust. Companies can receive money just for bringing guests to factories, even if they do not buy anything.
"We only follow what's on our guest's itinerary and if they are interested in shopping we will help them find good local markets that offer proper prices and a chance to bargain," says Judy Huang, Travel Manager of The China Guide. "There is so much to do and see in China, nobody wants to waste their time at tourist markets. We want all of our guests to have a relaxed and exciting experience without some kind of hidden agenda."
If tours companies offer too-good-to-be-true prices, they will undoubtedly have shopping stops to make up for the costs. It has been a common practice for China travel operators to lure clients in with low prices and then expect them to spend hundreds of dollars in tourist shops making up the difference with commission earnings.
The No Shopping Policy applies to all of The China Guide's tours. China travelers can design and customize tours without having the shopping hassle to worry about. Individuals, families or groups can map their route and pick their top destinations or select from one of The China Guide's multi-city itineraries including their famous Sleep on the Wall tour: http://www.thechinaguide.com/sleeponthewall/
