Fake event exposure tours "zero tour" hidden rules

World marketing comments (http://mkt.) from the beginning of April, the fake unannounced visits to the exposure stretches for a month the event a storm. The latest development is the Chairman of the Board with Tien related officials went to Beijing to consultations on supervision.

One to many and not strange "fake" exposures reported how can cause such a big media effects, has a deep-seated reasons.

"Zero tour" hidden rules to surface

"This tour of ' zero ' tour up there for several years. The tour has come to attract, but they want to Commission is too high, we simply can't afford to pay. "The face of potential zhouzhiqiang large numbers of tourists, who had heart, but etiquette as iron.

In addition to the commercial environment, fake events caused by the tourist industry seems to be greater. concussion In this fake events, visitors are invited to participate in Shenzhen, a travel agency out of low price Hong Kong tours and "hook". In the tourism industry has a long history of "zero tour" this is not standard but widespread competition practices, are pulled out of the water.

"Hong Kong is bad luck", a well-known travel agency senior experts that the so-called "zero tour" or even "take the tour" travel phenomenon has a long history, the oldest in the mid-1990s, in the fierce competition in the background. "What line fire someone come out to do the tour of the ' zero ', as in previous years, the hottest of Thailand tour, the earliest a tour of the ' zero '. ”

Among the first to come up with ideas and implementation of the business itself, and travel agencies to bring costs passed on to shopping consumers. "Cost cannot be relied on, the lower the prices you want visitors to squeeze more money, not how to make money selling fake?"

From another perspective, the regular operation of the tourism industry that fake events or have a certain positive radiation effects. A typical phenomenon is that in this year's tour of "labor market has news —" leisure tour "and" pure play "high quality corporate registration conditions generally have more, some mission already packed; on the contrary, the" shopping "," price ", and so adversely effect, applications generally fell.

The model of the governmental crisis PR

"Fake multiple common Ah, how storm a constantly?" this is a lot of people on our fake events direct feeling, even when the deities of CCTV reporters themselves did not think that the Government event in a series of "desperate measures" so high — not only in the event that occurs on the following day, the departments concerned in relation to the first time to Beijing, to collect information back to Hong Kong to investigations, and have issued a statement. Because of government relief to shopping return period from 14 days to 180 days, will lead the tour industry's collective resentment, ready to strike during the "labor day".

"This is a Government crisis PR capability review, the Government in the event of timely and ' high profile ' reaction is well worth learning. "Sun Yat-sen University Department of sociology, Ph.d supervisor Prof. believes that economic development, and good faith is a very important factor. "Maintaining economic order is itself an important function of Government, for a community to fake the events themselves, but the Government has not put this as a minor matter, ' make ' shows the Government's long-term strategic vision. ”

He believed that any Government, protection market is a vocation, but mainland maybe fake rampage for too long, it is not commonplace, Hong Kong. Hong Kong has always been the economic freedom of the "shopper's paradise," the good faith as the focus of consciousness to commercial fraud will have immeasurable impact. Government departments, community, in the case of a positive act, can be used as a processing model for related crisis events.

"Hong Kong and the Mainland economy continues integration continues to impact and penetration, but how this integration gradually contributed to a better system, killing against market factors, retention specifications and positive factors, which are the two Governments will need to cope and in-depth reflection on the issue. "He said.
