[Reminder from the Chinese Embassy in South Korea: Please stay away from the low-price group consumption trap for group tourists coming to South Korea] October 23rd, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea reminded on October 23: Please stay away from the low-price group consumption trap for the group tourists coming to South Korea. China and South Korea are each other’s largest sources of foreign tourists. Benefiting from visa facilitation measures, the number of tourists from the two countries continues to increase, which is conducive to increasing understanding and friendship between the two sides. It is worth noting that several Chinese tour groups recently encountered compulsory consumption during their visits to South Korea. Because tourists were unwilling to spend or did not meet the consumption limit, they were rejected by travel agencies, and some tourists were forced to interrupt their itineraries, causing personal losses. The above situation has also disrupted the normal travel order between the two countries. The Chinese Embassy in South Korea hereby reminds Chinese group tourists visiting South Korea: Choose travel agencies and tourism products carefully, be wary of unreasonable low-price tours that include compulsory consumption, and avoid getting into travel disputes due to compulsory shopping, which will affect the travel experience and personal safety. It is recommended that Chinese tourists should understand the qualifications of group travel agencies before traveling. For details, they can refer to the "List of Travel Agencies Operating Outbound Tourism Business" issued by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Read the terms of the contract carefully and confirm with the travel agency whether consumption items are included and whether there are minimum consumption requirements, etc. After arriving in South Korea, it is recommended to pick up the travel agency in the same place to confirm the above information again.
