Route arrangement and price of Chongqing-Yunnan tourism.

I have been engaged in tour guide activities in Yunnan, and I have been engaged in the planning and adjustment of Yunnan travel agencies. I know the whole process of guests from reporting to Yunnan reception until the end of Yunnan tourism.

Today, I will talk about the ugly process of Yunnan tourism and the gray high income of tour guides and travel agencies. I just published the process of being cheated by the tourists I have received for many years. Only in this way can I feel inner peace and give myself an inner peace, otherwise I will always live in self-blame. I will also use this money to do more good deeds and help people I can help. It is also the right for tourists to know the roots and sound the alarm for the tourism market. I hope to call on China Tourism Administration to make timely adjustments and give tourists a clear and reassuring tour.

Many guests don't understand why the price of traveling to Yunnan has dropped again. Even if the air ticket is removed, the reception price of a six-day tour in Yunnan is only a few hundred yuan, some are only tens of yuan, and some are simply tens of yuan for travel agencies that send their guests, including six-day accommodation, catering, tour guide services, scenic spots tickets, bus fares, etc. Is it enough to pay these expenses? Of course, the answer is not enough, so why do travel agencies repeatedly lower prices to receive tourists? Obviously, no one in the world will do business at a loss. Since you dare to take tourists, there are ways to make money.

Anyone who has worked in Kunming Travel Agency knows that picking up guests in Kunming is divided into A, A 1, A2, B, B 1, B2 and so on. Up to F, their prices are different. The reception price here refers to the price excluding air tickets. The more developed the city, the higher the consumption level and the higher the reception price. The more shopping in Yunnan, the greater the chance for travel agencies to make money. They gamble on the shopping level of a group in this way, so as to finally find out whether to receive this group to lose money or make money.

It is precisely because travel agencies lose money in receiving guests that they want to make money. They asked the tour guide to take the group out and let the tourists shop as much as possible. The tour guide tried his best to pay all the money to the guests and even let them borrow money to go shopping. Only such tour guides can be reused by travel agencies, and the commission is usually high. This powerful tour guide is often called "sharp knife", which means it is more convenient to kill tourists. Some tour guides can't reach that level, but because of good service or good luck, they often say that they are "lucky" when they meet groups with very good shopping. This kind of tour guide can also be used more. For other tour guides who are not good at shopping, travel agencies usually only send them F-level tours, because they lose less when they receive these pictures and their consumption level is poor, so they give these poor tour guides exercise. Travel agencies never take the initiative to care about whether guests are happy on the road, in scenic spots or in hotels. Only when they handle the complaint will the travel agency come forward.

In the eyes of Kunming travel agencies and tour guides, tourists only exist whether they have been fooled and how much they have been fooled. Their time at the scenic spot has been compressed and compressed, but the time spent shopping in the store has increased, so the most words that tour guides say at the scenic spot are: hurry up, hurry up, come with me, and when they enter the shopping spot, they usually say: We will get on the bus here in an hour and a half, and the doors will not open during this time, so everyone will look around more. This is why tourists who have been to Yunnan, after careful calculation, spend more time shopping than staying at scenic spots in one day except eating, sleeping and taking a bus. In the car, the tour guide constantly instilled the idea that Yunnan essential oil jade tea must be brought back.

Tour guides take tours for travel agencies, and they need to pay the fare, scenic spot tickets and meals in advance, so tour guides usually carry a lot of cash with them, and a better tour guide will know how much money he can refund from the shopping spot the next day when he sees the "water color" of tourists on the first day, and also know how much money he will bring. After the tour of the group, the tour guide will go to the travel agency for reimbursement, work out how much he paid, how much he took as a rebate, and how much he took as a commission, and then settle accounts with the travel agency. The income of tour guides is usually higher. For every 654.38+million yuan spent by tourists, tour guides can almost raise 654.38+million yuan, and some are even higher. So the average monthly income of tour guides is several times or even dozens of times that of ordinary white-collar workers. Making money is called "bitter money" in Yunnan dialect. Tour guides are generally called "a penny" when they suffer from 1000 yuan, and "a kilo" when they suffer from 1000 yuan, so when they hear a tour guide or a driver say how much they suffer, they are a few cents and a few kilograms.

So since the tour guide can get about 1000 yuan for every 1000 yuan he buys, how much rebate does the shopping store give the tour guide and the travel agency? Let's take the consumption of 10000 yuan in Chongqing Power Company as an example to explain the process and amount of commission. As soon as the guests arrive at the door of the store, they will first send a card to everyone, saying it is a visit card. Use these cards to record the number of people, how many cards are issued, and how many people are called. A man's head 10 yuan, which the store gives to tour guides and travel agencies, even if it doesn't buy a penny. Guests have to show their cards when shopping, and then they will know which group they belong to and which guide they belong to. Tour guides usually make an appointment with guests to get on the bus. When the guests get on the bus, they say I will get points, which means they can get points at the end of the month or the end of the year. If a guest buys 10000 yuan at Cuixi Jade Store or Jinglanyu Store (I believe tourists who have been to Yunnan know one of them), then the tour guide can take away 4,000 yuan on the spot and spend 2,000 yuan each time, giving the driver and tour guide a red envelope of 100 yuan, and which travel agency can refund 2,000 yuan at the end of the month. If this travel agency spends better, going to the essential oil shop is even more exaggerated. Tour guides usually give guests a discount card, saying that they can get a gold card by themselves, and they can get a 30% discount on the list price. When shopping, they use the tourist guide card to buy things, which saves a lot of experience for tour guides. Tourists think it's much cheaper, but the commission of essential oil can be raised by 50% on the spot, not counting the gifts and red envelopes for tour guides. At the end of the month, the money will be refunded to the travel agency by 20%-30%, which

Colorful Yunnan is a must for every tourist. Every tour guide here should welcome visitors here to taste tea. To put it bluntly, it is shopping. Colorful Yunnan is called a scenic spot, not a shop. Actually, everything is sold here. It's a shopping spot. Tour guides usually say that colorful Yunnan is a synchronous project of Expo 1999. From 1999 to the day when tourists came here, there were no fakes for sale, ranging from 1 bananas to 36 million jadeites. If you find a fake one, you will lose ten. And clearly marked, I hope you don't lose face because of bargaining. Therefore, tourists who spend money in colorful Yunnan are generally at ease, thinking that they are not shopping. In fact, things here are the most expensive. They are sold outside at 100, and they can sell for 800 here. Only cigarettes are about the same price as those outside, but there is no commission for cigarettes Therefore, even if you buy cigarettes for thousands of dollars, the tour guide will never give you a good look.

Usually tour guides are very, very eloquent. They say that jade is produced in Myanmar, produced in Yunnan, and processed in Yunnan. How cheap Yunnan is. In addition, they also conquered tourists in a series of stories such as breaking jade, raising jade and raising people. They convince tourists with various functions of Pu 'er tea, impress tourists with the extremely peculiar uses of essential oil products, and recommend medicinal materials with lies that tourists are poor in spirit and sexual function are not as good as before. Although they take tourists to buy them, they are not fakes.

Although I am not a great sage who worships Buddha, I am not a heartless person who is insatiable for making money. Every time I count money when tourists believe that I buy this and that, I feel a little uncomfortable, so that my explanation is deliberately shallow. Although I am not a poor tour guide, I have never been included in the list of "sharp knives".

It is precisely because of my growing sense of guilt that I chose to quit the tour guide circle and enter the travel agency to plan.

Working in a travel agency is not as easy as other office workers. There are various quotations every day, because there are too many categories of guests, and because the difference between the two-star standard and the three-star standard is too big, the consumption level may need to be re-examined, so it is extremely necessary to judge the situation by yourself when taking a tour. Let's not talk about this for the time being, just talk about the operation process after taking over a group and how our boss gets huge profits from gambling.

Running a team is nothing more than booking a car, a room, a meal and a tour guide. Of course, the garage is as cheap as possible according to the standard, and eating is not considered. You can eat it in any place where you receive a tour group for ten yuan a meal, mainly by arranging a tour guide. Only when I arrived at the travel agency did I know that a Beijing guest could leave 800 yuan for less than the cost. This concept scared me to death at first, which means that a Beijing team of 20 people will lose money if they don't shop 16000. But even so, it is still very hard to grab the group. When tourists arrive in Kunming, they are like commodities bought and sold by traffickers. If there is a price there and there is a price here, they can sell it to people with low prices. Some tourists even bought a dozen travel agencies from a travel agency and finally sold them to the cheapest travel agency. The boss said that if the competition with us is only 20 yuan, we will take the map to gamble and the price will be lower. The tour guide is also a full-time old tour guide of our club. This kind of group usually takes this "sharp knife". And I will operate the first tour group, and the shopping will reach 80,000, which means our total commission can reach nearly 50,000. Excluding the tour guide's commission of more than 8000 yuan and the loss of 65438+6000 yuan, the profit of our boss's tour group is about 25000 yuan. Before, I only knew that the tour guide's income was very high. I didn't expect this kind of "cut the gordian knot" to earn so much, and the gambling of travel agencies could be so high. Originally, I thought I was lucky to meet this group, but after staying in a travel agency for a long time, I realized that most of this gambling can be won back. Even if I don't make money, most teams can break even, and the travel agency doesn't care if I lose money occasionally. After a month, at least our boss can earn hundreds of thousands. And if you are lucky enough to meet a tourist who can put a "satellite", it means that you can make a lot of money by shopping more than 100 thousand. Put millions of "big satellites" and get rich overnight.

Of course, everyone is happy to meet a good group, but they will still be angry with the particularly poor group travel agency. Teams can be divided into regular groups, elderly groups, teachers groups, students groups and series groups. Because the consumption level of the elderly, teachers and students is relatively low, it is necessary to add money to receive such groups. If you don't increase the price, you will forcibly collect money from the guests, or confiscate your ID card to let the tour group increase the price, or simply coerce the tourists to call the tour group. Otherwise, if it really doesn't add up, let the tour guide and driver leave the guests on the road. It's called throwing a group. With the development, regular tour groups with poor shopping have gradually turned into group abandonment, and tour guides and drivers also boast about the process of group abandonment, taking pride in this experience of group abandonment. Series tour groups are cheated because people from a unit come shopping for the first time. If there are more places, they will leave a message by phone to tell the second or third group of people, so the shopping behind will be bad. Therefore, the series of tour groups also need to add money.

Watching tour guides go in and out of the office every day for reimbursement, I think their money is dirty. Although he didn't steal or rob, he cheated many kind people. Some tour guides don't even open the door for tourists in the scorching sun, saying that everyone has to buy things before opening the door. Some tour guides cry in front of kind-hearted old people and ask them to buy things that are ten times more expensive than outside. Others serve tea to the guests who have bought it, but those who don't shop ignore it. Even when we are together, the tour guide will compare who will insult the guests who don't shop in the car. They like to talk from east to west and cheat from south to north. Travel agencies are even more chameleons, grinning at good shopping guide reimbursement and sneering at poor shopping guide reimbursement. It is said that tourists are gods, but they want to empty their wallets.

After all, I don't belong to the gray high-income business. I chose to leave. Although every industry now has a way of making money that is unknown to outsiders, I can't stand the deception that my conscience is always condemned. I am now doing business in a shopping mall in Kunming. Although very tired, but my heart is very practical. It's just that my income is really small. I don't know if I will go back to being a tour guide, because this society is always so helpless. Originally, I heard that the country promulgated a new tourism law in May, and I am looking forward to seeing the arrival of regular tourism, but it has always been more thunder than rain. The tourism industry in Kunming is still selling tourists as commodities. The tour guide in Kunming is still fooling customers to buy things on the right, and it is fun to count money on the left. Travel agencies are still gambling, tour groups spend money lavishly and scold customers for "dung grass", and hold parties at night when satellites are put on.

I hope that people who read this article can take precautions when they travel to Yunnan again. I also hope that through this article, those kind tourists who have been deceived by me can forgive me and let me not be condemned again.

I hope that China's tourism policy can be promulgated and implemented in Kunming, so that every guest who comes to Yunnan can enjoy their leisure. I think this is a perfect interpretation of tourism and its original intention.
