Holiday scam spots

-

Many tourist hot spots are getting ready for the National Day holiday surge when people go out with their families and spend a lot of time outdoors. A recent report from Zhangjiaji­e, a famous tourist scenic spot in Hunan Province, said that shops were selling products at sky-high prices. In most cases, the cost of the items was just 10 percent of the selling price. Local authoritie­s pay less attention to shops selling items at exorbitant prices as they prioritize income from tourism. It is also a failure to protect the rights of visitors that will affect the image of the spot, thus affecting the local tourism sector in the long-run.
