Chinese Travel Police - back to the old days…
Who said the old China is over?
I recently read in the Travel Daily News that the Chinese government has decided to intervene in the travel regulations and habits of the Chinese People. Who will suffer? the people of course.
Some operators have found the old system where you bring a group for shopping and enjoy lower prices, moreover, from vast experience I can say - when you have a group going shopping the shops will be subsidizing your tours / hotels / buses etc which means tour operators can under cut market prices of tours and become attractive price wise.
Whats this different from Ryanair or EasyJet or any other low cost airline which is subsidized by the local city of arrival just to bring over as many tourists as possible?
Is it any different from the free nights you get if you come for a 1 hour speech about the hotel time share scheme?
Would you go on a tour if you know that its subsadized by a shop and you will be taken there as part of your tour?
