the above part is understandable
that last part though is no, i've seen so many case that tour bus will divert to some place they called rest stop and stop there for a very long time
some even ask u to buy things
hence why the package look so cheap

this is also the thing that made me lost hope to travel agency and do my own travel

That is if you join the cheap tours. And also depends on the country and tour.

The one I mentioned which we do for 30-90 pax and the company pay one, that one we call Incentive, is custom made and of course no shopping stop one.

That's called shopping stop, not rest stop. Rest stop is like you travel KL to Penang and the bus stop at highway rest area for 30 minutes. (It may seem long, but if you go to Europe its compulsory for long distances-driver welfare)

Also nowadays you can ask travel agency custom, tell them "No shopping stop please" then they will understand.

But rest stop, bo bian lah, even you travel from Bangkok to Pattaya by road also got rest stop mah, driver need get down and rest legs awhile.

Hmm you do your own travel, but if your boss belanja you go travel for hit sales target leh?

QUOTE
count on travel agency, bring you many places within shorter period of time.


Example is if you go for a Europe tour that takes 8 days, but you get to see Paris, Belgium, Amsterdam, Cologne (Germany) and Zurich before flying back. Because its one whole bus.

If you travel on your own maybe you take around 14 days to cover those cities.

And ask you buy things, again, no, its nothing to do with the "shorter period of time", rather its the tour price, any "hidden" charges or not. China tour is notorious for these shopping stops. Japan totally no.

(Ask me next time you want to buy from travel agent/got see travel agent package, I can give you advice and teach you so you don't kena tipu)

As long as MATTA still exists. And don't forget there is MITM as well by MCTA.

Went to matta fair yesterday.

1. 90% price & packages same if you find online. Only few offer exclusive matta price and worthy gifts like luggage bag
2. Entrance opposite of Sunway putra mall you will be swarmed by credit card people BEGGING you to apply. literally begging.
3. so many agent open Airasia & MAS booking counter.

and most dissapointing of all alot of them dont know what they're selling. When ask in detail about the packages, hotels they dont even know. Only know this one 3 star hotel, this one 4 star hotel.

1 funny moment was when i ask this girl about semporna islands and she straight told me KUNDASANG got nicer beach and a more fish then in semporna.

Nowadays MATTA Fair alot agents don't wanna sell domestic already, unless its their main business. Reason? 2 different sets of reporting to Kastam. You sell domestic 1 report, international another report. Troublesome.

GST is the cause.

Exactly, it started from there and became worst in Hong Kong. Thankfully now China government did pass a law saying no more "cheap tours". China tourists themselves against this kind of "shopping stop". Even got people died over it.
