韩旅强制消费惹争议 中国使馆发提醒
近日，多个中国赴韩旅游团向中国驻韩国大使馆反映，在旅游途中遭遇强制消费，部分游客因不愿消费一度被中断行程。
据了解，这些旅游团通过旅行社预订了赴韩行程，但实际行程中却出现了强制购物、高价消费等情况。游客反映，导游带团前往指定商店购物，并要求游客购买高价商品，如人参、化妆品等。若游客不愿消费，导游便会以各种理由拒绝继续行程，甚至威胁取消后续安排。
中国驻韩国大使馆对此高度重视，并发布提醒，呼吁来韩团体游客谨慎选择旅行社和旅游产品。大使馆提醒，游客应选择信誉良好的旅行社，并仔细查看行程安排，警惕包含强制消费的不合理“低价游”。
大使馆强调，游客在韩国旅游期间，应坚持理性消费，避免冲动购物。若遇到强制消费或其他不合理对待，可及时向导游、领队或旅行社反映，并向中国驻韩国大使馆求助。
大使馆还建议游客在出行前做好功课，了解韩国的购物文化和消费水平，避免因信息不对称而陷入消费陷阱。此外，游客应注意保留相关证据，如购物小票、导游威胁记录等，以便维权时提供佐证。
目前，中国驻韩国大使馆已与韩国相关部门沟通，要求韩方重视中国游客的合理诉求，加强对强制消费行为的监管。大使馆将继续关注事件进展，并为中国游客提供必要的协助。

**Headline: South Korea’s Forced Spending Stirs Controversy, Chinese Embassy IssuesWarning**
**Keywords:** Forced spending, low-cost tours, safety warning
**News Content:**
Chinese tour groups visiting South Korea have recently reported incidentsof forced spending to the Chinese Embassy in South Korea. Some tourists have had their itineraries disrupted due to their refusal to spend money.
According to reports, these tour groups booked their trips to South Korea through travel agencies, but encountered forced shopping and high-priced consumption during their actual itineraries. Tourists reported that tour guides ledthem to designated stores for shopping and demanded that they purchase expensive items such as ginseng and cosmetics. If tourists refused to spend, tour guides would use various excuses to refuse to continue the itinerary or even threaten to cancel subsequent arrangements.
The Chinese Embassy in South Korea has taken this matter seriously and has issued a warning, urging Chinese group tourists to choose travel agencies and tour products carefully. The embassy advised tourists to select reputable travel agencies and to carefully review the itinerary, being wary of unreasonably “low-cost tours” that include forced spending.
The embassy emphasized that tourists should adhere to rational spending habits while traveling in South Korea and avoid impulsive purchases. If tourists encounter forced spending or other unreasonable treatment, they should promptly report it to the tour guide, team leader, or travel agency, and seek assistance from the Chinese Embassy in South Korea.
The embassy also recommended that tourists do their research before traveling, familiarizing themselves with South Korea’s shopping culture and consumption levels to avoid falling into consumer traps due to information asymmetry. Additionally, tourists should keep relevant evidence, such as receipts and records of threats made by tour guides, to support their claims in case of disputes.
Currently, the Chinese Embassy in South Korea has communicated with relevant South Korean authorities, requesting that they take Chinese tourists’ reasonable demands seriously and strengthen regulations on forced spending. The embassy will continue to monitor the situation and provide necessary assistance to Chinese tourists.
