[quote=CHRISTINE,619582]Dear all, We are now undertaking a survey relating to tours. Would you please share your ideas? Thank you. Our question is about stops for shopping during tours. It's common to see tour itineraries including a few shopping stops, usually in jade and souvenir shops. The designated shops make the tour price lower because they are willing to pay commission to the tour guides, which cuts the cost of the travel agency. Tourists are not obliged to buy anything but it will take some time lingering in these shops. Nowadays more and more tourists seem to prefer not to take shopping tours, but this may cost more money compared with tours including shopping stops. Take the following two itineraries as examples: 01: 8 Days Beijing – Xian – Shanghai Tour price with a few shopping stops: USD1159 per person No shopping extra: USD90 per person, USD180 for each couple 02: 11 Days Beijing – Xian – Guilin – Shanghai Tour price with a few shopping stops: USD1649 per person No shopping extra: USD120 per person, USD240 for each couple Based on the differences, may I know your opinion regarding shopping during tours versus no shopping? When booking a trip, can you accept paying a bit more to have a no shopping tour or do you think the price is the key issue? We shall be most grateful for any feedback. Thanks again.[mood1][/quote]
