Original title: Consumer Association of China releases "May Day" holiday consumption tips
The China Consumer Association recently released the "May Day" holiday consumption tips, reminding consumers to pay attention to transportation and accommodation, shopping and recharging, food and meals and other issues when traveling.
Transportation and accommodation shall be planned. The China Consumer Association reminds that during the May Day holiday, there will be a large flow of people and vehicles, and the scenic spots and roads may be congested. Consumers should plan their travel in advance and reasonably arrange their travel routes and accommodation hotels. Consumers who choose self driving tours and long-distance buses should always pay attention to the road conditions and try to travel off peak. Consumers who choose to travel by air or high-speed rail should purchase round-trip tickets in advance and purchase tickets through formal platforms and websites. Do not trust "special fares" and "internal channels" to prevent being cheated. When selecting a hotel, we should compare prices in many ways through the formal platform, carefully check the hotel's rating and other consumers' comments, and pay attention to the traffic and environment around the hotel. Before selecting a travel agency, you should check the qualification and registration information of the travel agency through the national tourism supervision service platform, ensure that the travel agency has complete qualifications and clear business scope, sign a formal travel contract, and carefully review the contents of the contract.
Be alert when shopping for recharge. During the May Day holiday, many businesses will carry out various promotional activities. Consumers should choose carefully and consume rationally to avoid falling into various consumption traps. For prepaid consumption that needs to be recharged by purchasing a card, consumers must carefully review the contract terms, clarify refund, breach of contract and other matters, and avoid excessive amount of one-time recharge. In addition, don't listen to the phone calls, text messages and platform information claiming that China Consumer Association helps to handle refund and refund. This is a fake of an outlaw.
Eating and dining should be hygienic. When dining out, consumers should try to choose restaurants with complete business qualifications, clean and hygienic dining environment, high food quantification level and the implementation of "famous chefs light kitchen", pay attention to whether the dishes are fresh, and do not eat "game" and unprocessed "fresh" food. When purchasing food, choose the food with complete package and label information, and keep and eat it according to the instructions.
Leave evidence for consumption disputes. The shopping voucher is an important proof of safeguarding rights according to law after consumer disputes with businesses. Consumers must pay attention to obtaining and properly keeping consumption vouchers such as purchase invoices, receipts and payment records when purchasing and using goods or traveling. When their legitimate rights and interests are damaged, they should first negotiate with the merchants to solve the problem based on the principles of legality, justice and fairness. If the settlement fails, they can complain to the relevant departments, or complain to the consumer association organization through the smart 315 platform of the National Consumer Association.
