The major pitfalls that may be encountered when traveling in Xinjiang mainly include unreasonable itinerary arrangements, poor service of travel agencies, poor accommodation conditions, and encountering informal travel agencies.?
Unreasonable itinerary arrangements:?
Some travel agencies arrange overly compact itineraries, severely compressing tourists’ playtime within scenic areas, resulting in an inability to fully appreciate the beautiful scenery.?
There may be long driving hours during the itinerary, without considering road conditions and driver safety, causing discomfort for tourists.?
Poor service of travel agencies:?
The travel agency does not fully inform tourists of relevant precautions before the trip, such as reservations and border pass processing, leading to unnecessary troubles for tourists during the trip.?
The attitude of travel agency personnel is irresponsible, ignoring tourists’ questions and needs or providing unreasonable solutions.?
Poor accommodation conditions:?
Some travel agencies arrange poor accommodation conditions, which may be old hotels or hotels under renovation, negatively impacting tourists’ accommodation experience.?
Some accommodation locations may even have potential safety hazards, such as excessive formaldehyde levels.?
Encountering informal travel agencies:?
Some informal travel agencies may conduct false propaganda through social media and other platforms, attracting tourists with low tour fees, but there are a large number of shopping stops or poor service quality during the actual itinerary.?
Some travel agencies may even face risks such as capital chain ruptures, leading to tourists’ itineraries being forced to be interrupted, causing economic losses and mental distress.?
To avoid encountering these ‘big pitfalls’, it is recommended that tourists carefully screen the qualifications and reputation of travel agencies when choosing to travel to Xinjiang, and select formal and reputable travel agencies for bookings. At the same time, fully understand the relevant precautions and itinerary arrangements before the trip to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey.?
