On April 6, according to a video report from Jiupai News, recently, a woman broke the news that she spent 2,880 yuan to travel in a group tour of Hong Kong, Macao, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, and Zhuhai, and during the Macao itinerary, the tour guide took the group to a jewelry store, and all tourists were detained for 2 hours, which attracted widespread attention.
Ms. Bian said that some tourists were dissatisfied and were stopped when they rushed out of the store, "There is no compulsory consumption, it is not allowed to go out, we will not let a group go out, and the shopping place is a small house." ”
Ms. Bian said that the mall that the guide took them to was just a jewelry store, not the "outlet" mentioned earlier. "I bought two necklaces there, spent more than 3,000 yuan, bought them and said I could go out, he still wouldn't let it, said wait enough time."
"Some old people are anxious and angry!" Ms. Bian said that she rushed out with other elderly people once during this period, but was called back by the tour guide.
On the 6th, the staff of the travel agency responded that there was no compulsory shopping, only required to stay for 2 hours, and the shopping mall items were regular items in the itinerary, and they had been informed in advance before traveling. "You have to give people a chance to sell something."
Regarding the claim that the stores visited were not "outlets", the staff member said that Macau is very small, so there are two "outlets", and it is one of the stores called "Kim Luk Fook" that contains not only jewelry but also other goods.
In this regard, netizens have said, "It's too much!" "It's outrageous!" "Strong buying, strong selling?"
