Do you remember the movie “Bad Luck”? Something similar began to happen to tourists as soon as they got off the plane, “- so the Russian travel agent began his story about the trip of his clients to Hurghada. She told in a blog about walking through torment and deception at every step in Egypt.
According to an expert in the field of tourism, the couple with a child went on vacation to a family hotel. A 10-day tour from Samara to the 4-star ALBATROS JUNGLE AQUA PARK hotel cost them 65,000 rubles (UAH 24,000). However, instead of a carefree vacation, a streak of failures began immediately, and immediately after they got off the plane. So, when paying for a visa worth $ 25, a local representative of the tour operator TUI took commissions from them, without warning. “The guys were confused by this pressure and did not immediately realize that he takes $ 27 from each, not 25. Understood the delivery,” – wrote the travel agent.
Then the tourists saw other well-established schemes of pseudo-entrepreneurship. So, the driver of the transfer bus persistently demanded money for loading of luggage, thus tourists didn’t even get on the bus yet. Then, when settling in the hotel, the Russian family almost fell for the tricks of the next fraudulent scheme – under the guise of a standard number, the registrar tried to sell them a large family room and demanded a surcharge of $ 10 per night, $ 100. However, tourists refused.
Two hours after arrival – a new scheme, but from a local taxi driver, who rightly or wrongly tried to persuade tourists to use his services. According to the author, he brazenly and defiantly deceived the guests of the country, saying that the store they need is closed and ready to take to another. However, as it turned out, the large Senzo Mall was open. “At that moment, I wanted to pack my bags and go home for any money.” “Gypsies” rest “in comparison with Egyptians”, – the travel agent was indignant.
Deception on deception was waiting for tourists and after buying tours from the hotel guide. “The disgusting behavior of hotel guides has long caused outrage among agents. Sometimes you have to stay away from these people! – the author reported.
In summary, the employee of the travel agency, who sent tourists on vacation to Egypt, she did not expect widespread audacity from her colleagues and locals. “Shocked by the behavior of the local population! Against the background of “hospitable Egypt”, Turkey looks like an elite resort, because such impudence has never been encountered there! “, – she added after learning about the details of the rest of her clients.
In addition, with the same tourists on the same 10-day vacation there was another unpleasant situation with a criminal connotation, which “finally” undermined the credibility of at least the tour operator TUI. ” Details in the article “Because of the lost phone in Hurghada, tourists were intimidated by prison.”
