Today let’s discuss a very hot but sensitive topic on the worldwide travel, whether you can accept shopping stops in a travel itinerary because it’s cheaper.

Generally most travel agencies in the world arrange shopping stops in the itinerary, since the price is quite different from no-shopping tours and more customer-friendly. It’s usually lower because tourists pay less for the services of tour guide and driver. But some tourists may think it’s a waste of time to go shops and feel easily to be cheated. On the contrary, no-shopping tours may guarantee a more flexible trip but with a higher price.

Hereunder I have an example:
For a 10-day tour of Beijing - Xian - Guilin - Shanghai, travel agency A arranges a shopping stop in each city but no forced purchase, while travel agency B without any shopping stop. B charges 300 US dollars more than A.

If you are planning to join a tour, which one would you choose, A or B?

GUEST40882 I would prefer to choose travel itinerary with shopping stops arranged. Somehow, shopping is a part of travelling. The premise is that the agency should be trustworthy not to lead us to some shopping traps.
