May Day, where are you going to see people?
People who have been confined for three years because of the epidemic can finally travel properly.
This year's May Day has also greatly released everyone's enthusiasm for travel, and the orders for hotels and homestays are full.
But what is infuriating is that many businesses want to "slaughter customers" through this peak tourism period
Even CCTV personally criticized those merchants: "Eating is really ugly."
After the epidemic passed, May Day this year was the first small holiday. Consumers want to take advantage of May Day to travel and relax.
But some tourists have not yet come out, and the blockage is added first.
Many netizens complained that the homestay booked in advance temporarily received a call from the boss to unsubscribe. The reasons given are even more varied, what room is being renovated, the homestay is leaking...
There are even more ridiculous reasons why the B&B went out of business before the holiday. What is the reason why these merchants find this outrageous reason to let tourists check out?
Now that they are asked to check out, they are basically booked a week or even a month in advance, and tourists want to book in advance so as not to be able to book during the peak travel period, and it is cheaper to book in advance.
The reason why the house price was cheap was because merchants did not know that this year would usher in the peak period, when they saw that all attractions were sold out online.
Merchants have found that this year is different, this year's tourism industry has returned to life, and their opportunity to make money has arrived.
But when they looked back at the room, they found that it had already been booked and there was no vacancy. They came up with the bad idea of "checking out."
After checking out, they will increase the room rate, so that they can make a big profit on May Day.
A lady booked a homestay on the platform in advance, the price was more than 300 for 3 nights, and when she was told that the house needed to be checked out during renovation, she found that this homestay was on the same day on other platforms, and the price increased to 500 a night.
Price increase price comparison successively, this is "naked" to increase the price by more than six times.
Some bosses have decided that consumers want to travel but do not want to be spoiled, and maliciously force consumers to make up the difference.
Some netizens booked hotels in advance, but recently merchants said that if consumers check in on May Day, they need to make up the difference.
Merchants also repeatedly urged consumers to make up the price difference as soon as possible when consumers did not reply.
It is understood that the price of this room ordered at that time was 198 three days and two nights, and now it has risen to 699 three days and two nights, which means that consumers also need to make up the difference of 500 yuan.
If the consumer does not make up the difference, the merchant will definitely let her unsubscribe, then the travel plan will be disrupted, and most consumers will still swallow this breath to make up the difference.
But if consumers are unwilling to make up the price difference and choose to unsubscribe, there is no loss to the merchant, because May Day is not worried about customers, and they can order it again at a higher price.
It is worth noting that the phenomenon of most merchants breaking contracts continues.
I believe that many netizens will complain to the platform in such a situation, so what is the attitude of the booking platform?
The platform imposed penalties on merchants for forcibly returning orders, and promised to arrange consumers to stay in rooms of the original standard or above, and the resulting price difference would be made up by their platform, and the upper limit of the price difference was three times the price of the original order.
But why do merchants still insist on breaking contracts when they know that they will be punished by the platform for breaking dates?
Because they don't care about the money they fine, to put it bluntly, they will earn more after raising the price.
Even if they are really fined, it will take a while for the platform to review, and in the end, if they are judged to be removed from the shelves in violation of the law, it will be after May Day, and it will not affect them to make money on May Day.
After being banned, they will still be released in a few months, and by then there will be another peak period, and they can still repeat the operation of breaking the contract.
If the punishment of the platform is a little greater, will there be repeated broken behaviors by merchants?
The reason why the platform will not punish these merchants is because they can also benefit from it, because consumers are not customers of the platform, merchants are.
In fact, the platform wants to raise the room fee more than the merchant, so that the platform will get a higher profit.
When May Day comes, we can actually think that in addition to hotels and homestays, taxis, scenic spots, and restaurant food will appear in the behavior of slaughtering customers.
Everyone knows that May Day is a good opportunity to make money, and no one wants to miss this good opportunity to make money.
This kind of sitting and starting price behavior is not only on May Day, but also during the National Day holiday, Spring Festival, and college entrance examination.
Just at the beginning of this year, some tourists said that they were taken by taxi to a restaurant in Guangxi Beihai Yintan and spent 1,500 yuan on four dishes.
According to tourists, the group was stopped by a taxi driver who recommended that he could take them to a place where they were affordable but not slaughtering. He also successfully persuaded tourists on the grounds that they were unfamiliar with the road and there were too many people, and took them to a seafood restaurant.
Before getting out of the car, they also specially confirmed to the driver again whether they would kill customers, and the driver assured them that they would not enter until they did not.
But who would have thought that they would spend 1,500 yuan on ordering four dishes, and found that the merchant was still missing two pounds.
After investigation by relevant departments, it was found that the store paid taxi kickbacks to solicit customers, and rushed to place orders without communicating with consumers, and there was a problem of small portions of some seafood.
The Beihai Market Supervision Bureau issued penalties such as suspension of business for rectification and rectification within a time limit. Penalties have also been imposed on taxi drivers.
It can be seen that no matter when and where there will be slaughter.
Is there really no city in our country that does not "slaughter" customers? There is - Zibo. To ask which city is the hottest after the epidemic, it is Zibo.
After Zibo caught fire, there were no customers during the tourist season, and the small traders and vendors on the streets did not lack two pounds.
Does everyone go to Zibo because of the Zibo barbecue? No, there are more delicious barbecues all over the country, why is Zibo on fire.
In fact, it is because Zibo treats tourists honestly and sincerely. Their hospitality is what really attracts tourists.
In order to attract tourists, Zibo has opened a barbecue special train, and added 21 Zibo barbecue bus lines, inviting tourists from all over the world to experience Zibo.
Not only that, Zibo hotels also offer discounts, and taxi drivers do not detour to serve passengers warmly.
Even now the common slogan of Zibo locals is: who dares to bully the slaughterer and bully the customer, you can report it, we will let him close the door.
A woman lived in Zibo, and the price of the original 268 yuan room was raised to 529 yuan by the shopkeeper, and the woman immediately reflected the matter just like the relevant department.
Unexpectedly, the local government quickly helped the lady solve the matter.
Not only did the merchant refund the difference, but it also penalized the merchant. It's really a good government that solves real problems for tourists.
This image takes place in Zibo, and it is not the waiter who grills the skewers for the guests, but the shop owner. Since this guest was in a hurry to catch the high-speed train, in order to help the guests save time, the owner took the initiative to help the guests grill skewers.
From these details, we can see that the Zibo fire is not because of barbecue, but the hospitality of the people and government of Zibo.
The tourism industry has been depressed a lot in recent years due to the epidemic, but this is not the reason for the price of sitting on the ground.
Many businesses may rely on the tourist season to make profits, and it is understandable that appropriate price increases are appropriate.
If all cities can treat every tourist with the same enthusiasm as Zibo, then there will still be many tourists who will go even if it is not the peak tourist season. Isn't it better than how much you earn every peak period?
Only by putting ourselves in the shoes of tourists like Zibo will more people travel there and there will be a more sustained flow of people.
If the room that has been booked can be arbitrarily destroyed, this will not only greatly reduce the tourists' sense of travel experience, but also greatly reduce the image of the city.
And slaughtering customers and breaking contracts are illegal acts, do not put yourself in it in order to obtain benefits.
It should also be reminded that the regulatory authorities should strengthen management and punishment, only in this way can the interests of tourists be better protected and a good market environment formed.
