Please these unscrupulous travel agencies and tour guides, let go of the Chinese tourists!
The number of Chinese tourists to Australia is on the rise, and the scam of tour groups is getting worse and worse.
It is a free public scenic spot, but it has become an unscrupulous tour guide's "charging item"!
Even Australia government can not see, let everyone "meet with the police"!
The underdog is still a Chinese tourist group!
Why should the Chinese compatriots be embarrassed by the Chinese people?
In recent years, Australia's tourism boom and Chinese tourists can not be separated. The huge number of Chinese tourists with strong purchasing power have led to the progress and development of the whole Australian tourism industry.
From ordinary viewing projects to wine wineries, hot air balloons, chocolate factories, to a variety of cultural and cultural experience projects, more and more "Chinese characteristics."
More and more Australian tourist attractions have come to the Chinese shopping guide, plus the Chinese language promotional language and introduction manual.
However, most Chinese tourists to Australia still choose "tour group" as their own way of travel. It is always easy and easy to travel under the tour guide, and there is no need to worry about language barriers.
In addition to making profits from each tourist's paper fee, the tour guides are known to take tourists to some "shopping points" and earn the merchant's commission through customer spending.
However, some unscrupulous tour guides have not been satisfied with this mode of making money, even directly using the means of "cheating", public places are used as "ticket collection" tools!
In recent days, Australian tourism officials have criticized some tour guides for taking tourists to public beaches and parks on the Golden Coast and charging them tickets!
Australia has always been famous for its magical and unique natural landscapes, which are open to visitors free of charge, and most beaches are the best places for free leisure.
However, these tour guides deceive tourists, saying that these are "fee items"!
It is understood that this part of the tour guide specialized in deceiving a large number of Chinese tourists, Chinese tourists have been deceived thousands of Australian dollars. And most of them are made by Chinese travel agencies.
Even in some cases, these guides take visitors to public places within walking distance of the hotel!
But still on the pretext of "transportation expenses" and "guided tours" and other excuses, the passengers charge extra fees!
The most common target is the Golden Coast Beach, where a large number of visitors "pay" to visit free public attractions without knowing it!
Experts also warned that one of Australia's biggest tourism markets, the Chinese market, could be hit hard unless it stops before it gets out of control.
To avoid default, a travel agency, which declined to be named, said the massive scam was "completely out of control".
"it's a joke," they said, "because they can escape punishment and no one wants to say anything about it."
And even if tourists are taken to these free public beaches, they can only stay in designated safe areas, not even in the water.
The National Tourism minister Kate Jones has also strongly condemned the practice because it "tarnishes" Australia's tourism industry as a whole.
And she urged all those who encountered such fraud to contact the police.
Daniel Gschwind, chief executive of the Queensland Tourism Commission, responded, arguing that such behaviour should not exist in modern tourism.
"it will not only deprive the interests of tourists, but also damage our reputation. After all, tourists will complain to their relatives and friends about their unpleasant or unfortunate experiences when they return home."
Recently, Chinese tourists have overtaken New Zealand tourists to become Queensland's largest tourist market.
Five hundred thousand Chinese tourists visit Kunzhou every year, contributing A $1.4 billion to Kunzhou's economic.
However, how many of these tourists were cheated by unscrupulous tour guides?
01 false publicity, Harry Potter shot!
In fact, this is not the first time that the situation, but also most of the "Chinese pit Chinese."
Just a while ago, large numbers of Chinese tourists swarmed to the University of Sydney for a very "magical" reason.
Because the visitors think that the University of Sydney is the site of the Harry Potter movies, and that a building at the University of Sydney is the legendary Hogwarts School of Wizardry.
And the major travel websites are full of such publicity, attracting people to visit the University of Sydney.
Between 2017 and 2019, the number of Chinese tourists traveling to the University of Sydney surged, with countless Chinese tourists shuttling through the campus every day for the sake of Harry Potter.
"our tour guide told us it was one of Harry Potter's attractions," said one Chinese tourist.
However, although the building is similar to Hogwarts, the real setting is actually the Dalem Cathedral in England.

Actually, this movie
It's over! All! no! Yes!
Shot anywhere in Australia!
Sarah Butler, an Australian consumer expert, said the false advertising could be a violation of Australia's law rules.
"if a travel company is offering a tour program at the University of Sydney and promoting that Harry Potter was filmed at the University of Sydney, but that's not the case, it could be a violation of Australian consumer law."
However, when Australian media contacted one of the travel agencies that had falsely advertised, the agency was vague, saying it needed internal consultation and would correct mistakes.
02 New Zealand one-day tour, free of charge!
In addition to this, New Zealand next door also has the same pattern of "free attractions into pay projects" scam.
Jenny Xu's aunt booked a one-day trip to New Zealand for more than A $160 through a Chinese-language App.
As a result, I found that all the visitors were taken to free projects such as Cornwall Park, Western Spring and Mission Bay! And these projects all "charge $10".
Jenny told his aunt that free public attractions should not be paid for, but it is no longer possible to apply for a refund, and the tour guide has disappeared without a trace.
03 Dubai royal medical trip, cancer trip!
Even more magical is the story of Dubai.
A group of Chinese tourists took part in a tour to Dubai, where they could fly on a deluxe Lincoln plane, stay at a five-star luxury hotel, and then head to the Royal Hospital, which was personally welcomed by the hospital's director.
Not only can travel, but also enjoy one-stop "Royal physical examination service", is simply aristocratic honor!
When they got to the hospital, the tourists were shocked!
Because some "lucky children" have been told by "authoritative experts" that they have cancer, the limit is coming!
If you don't take the treatment, you'll be dead!
The tourists were also frightened and wept, immediately smashing millions of hospitals to receive "treatment", with one hundred and ninety eight thousand dollars of heavy metal detoxification, two hundred and ninety eight thousand yuan of kidney cell repair, and three hundred and ninety seven thousand nine hundred and ninety nine yuan of liver cell repair to control cancer attacks.
And next to "assistant" hilarious, infinite brainwashing propagandize a sentence: "after all, money is important or life is important ah!"
A long-eyed tourist smuggled home the infusion bags of the infusion treatment and found that it was a bag of hormone injections.
Moreover, the duped tycoons have lost more than 650 million, but no one is willing to call the police because of face.
It is true that all of them are taxed on IQ.
Tourist groups specialize in deceiving overseas Chinese tourists are common cases, I hope that when we travel abroad, clear eyes, clear guide, do not be fooled by these unscrupulous tourist societies ah!
