Yunnan tourism industry reporter undercover for months, a lot of guides, travel agencies and shops, know they cheat all visitors inside and grasp how they carve up the dark industry chain of shopping money.
Kunming Fukun building a jade store boss told reporters that in the industry, Emerald into is a relatively high percentage of the proceeds of sales in travel agencies. Fukun jewelry Manager Yoon, is generally divided into two blocks, regular price, special price, regular price 85%, special 70%, 75%. But they rarely discounts, only specials below 1000 Yuan.
While shopping for travel rebates is an open secret, but such high commissions still surprised reporters expected, visitors spent thousands of Yuan and tens of thousands of Yuan to buy jade, that 85% is shopping money secretly paid to travel agent rebates.
According to yin, Manager, "sell 1000 Yuan yu, purchase price is about 100 Yuan! "Count down, such a shop selling jade, doubled its price at least 10 times.

Shopping return difficult lies in the black chain
It's hard to imagine a piece of Jadeite jade, shopping for travel rebates as high as 85%, if planing to go shopping the store's rent, salaries of sales personnel and store profit, this jade the real value or how much is left? 1%? 5%?
According to press reports in Yunnan province, the tourism industry, not only is the Emerald, huanglong jade, silver, chocolate, coffee and rebates. Rebate rate is normally 60% or 70%, and less 20%. Because there is such a huge black interests behind chain, Yunnan tourism industry insiders say, visitors want to return is difficult because return means that the relevant chain of all beneficiaries to spit into his mouth and flesh eating out, they would find other reasons to block. Of the new tourism law has been implemented for two years, but tourist return difficult problem can not be resolved, the reason this is important.
