After a YouTube video showing a Hong Kong tour guide abusing three elderly women from the Chinese mainland went viral, China's National Tourism Administration (NTA) issued a travel advisory. The video captured a tour guide "abusing" three tourists and forcing them to shop.
Tour agencies often have arrangements with local shopkeeps who give the tour guides a kickback; this is common practice throughout China. The NTA has vowed to investigate the Chinese tourism trade and enact laws to protect travelers and consumers.
In May, a 65-year-old tourist died of a heart attack following a heated argument with a shopkeep who was forcing him to shop.
