Except for a small number of people who use travel as their job, most people only classify travel as a leisure activity, and it is also a high-consumption activity. According to the logic of ordinary people, you must make money first, and then travel, because the purpose of travel is to "sigh the world": stay in luxury hotels, taste local delicacies, and go shopping. The designated action every day during the trip is "get on the bus to rest, get off the bus to take pictures, and go shopping in the middle". The reason for the emergence of "duck-catcher-style tour groups" is to cater to the needs of such travelers who think that it is worthwhile to see and run more.
