Nearly 40% Of Visitors To The Expo Park; Shanghai Will Crack Down On "Black Clubs", "Black Guides" And "Black Cars"

Since the opening of the Expo, 47 designated travel agencies of the Expo have organized 120000 groups and more than 4.5 million person times to visit the Expo. Team tourists have accounted for 38.2% of the total number of visitors to the Expo. Yesterday, the Municipal Tourism Administration reiterated the "four haves" standard for travel agencies to receive the Expo team - "pick up a car when arriving in Shanghai", "show people when visiting the park", "ensure accommodation and meals", and "manage when difficulties occur".

Since the operation of the World Expo, the vast majority of travel agencies have made efforts to provide tourists with corresponding services to ensure the safety and quality of tourism. However, some travel agencies and tour guides still operate in violation of regulations, and complaints have occurred from time to time. For example, when some travel agencies sell Expo tickets, they promise to provide supporting services such as vehicles and guides, but actually sell tickets alone, and other service responsibilities will be put on the designated agencies; Some tour guides often take people into the park, and do not enter the park or the museum as scheduled. In addition, there have been "fake guides" taking tourists into the park recently.

The Municipal Tourism Administration said that it would further strengthen the supervision of the tourism market and resolutely crack down on the illegal operation of tourism "black clubs", "black guides" and "black cars"; Strengthen the acceptance of tourism complaints, achieve rapid acceptance, rapid disposal and rapid response, and "find one violation and seriously investigate and deal with one violation" for each travel agency.
