Joining a tour group to Xinjiang with a low price is not necessarily a good idea. Low-price tours often have many hidden issues and may not be as cost-effective as they seem on the surface.?
Firstly, low-price tours may earn kickbacks by arranging numerous shopping stops. Tour guides may force tourists to shop for various reasons or even threaten them with not being able to continue the tour if they do not buy. The prices of goods at these shopping stops are often several times higher than market prices, and the quality is also difficult to guarantee, thereby increasing tourists’ additional expenses.?
Secondly, to save costs, low-price tours usually significantly shorten the time spent visiting attractions, resulting in tourists spending most of the day traveling and having only half an hour to explore the attraction. Such a travel experience will obviously be greatly compromised.?
In addition, low-price tours may choose poorer accommodation and dining conditions, which not only affects the travel experience but may also jeopardize travel safety.?
Formal travel agencies provide better services and guarantees for tourists. Although the price may be slightly higher, the overall cost-effectiveness is higher.?
Therefore, when choosing a Xinjiang tour group, do not be solely attracted by the price. Instead, consider various aspects such as the travel agency’s qualifications, reputation, itinerary arrangement, accommodation, and dining. For a better travel experience, it is recommended to choose a qualified and reputable formal travel agency or opt for free-and-easy travel to better control the itinerary and experience local culture.?
