thats why go for legit travel agency la apa lagi

last time also my friend went taiwan tour with his family, they stopped at this suspicious traditional medicine place.

then the "doctor" there be like showing off some magic trick of some electric bolts coming out from his hands that "heals" the negative energy of the person he touched. my friend fadder buy into the person allegation that he is "ill" and needs healing, buy this dunno what negative energy sucking stone + treatment that cost like after conversion RM5k?

legit travel agency also did this
and they have been doing this for decades

this is also the very reason why people chose to DIY travel...to avoid such things from happening

yah, but its lesser ed compared to the past thus you see the "not shopping tour" tags nowadays. they are less brazen liao now since people are complaining a tonne

heck, my friend in taiwan tour years ago he and other group members super heated argument with the tour guide because they all angry too many shopping stops instead of visiting visual scenic places

last time when i 2" follow parents to tours they also stop in every single shop for "shopping", and this isnt just china tours mang, but europe also  doh.gif

for me DIY is best, but most headache since every route/itinerary sendiri plan which can be a huge learning curve (but productive!)

but reputation that's ruined is hard to recover
that's why most people don't believe it even if put there big big no shopping tour...people still have doubt and rather not risk it

just like those korea trip recently, still got scam time and time again...paid everything but cannot fly, everybody disappear

dunno le if their reputation actually damaged, i saw those tour agencies recent roadshows still damn alot people signing up

i guess the amount of people who still want hassle free all spoonfeed to them still exists in droves

from my view, especially the mid valley ones
they're not there to sign up anything, they're more like there for the freebies and getting the brochure only
after taken all the freebies, they just walk out and away...not really there to sign up anything
