6 taels of blueberries are sold as 1 catty, and parking fees are arbitrarily charged in parking lots without complying with government-guided prices... During this year's May Day holiday, the consumption chaos in some scenic spots has attracted attention. Today, relevant experts said in an interview with a reporter from the Workers' Daily that the dishonest behavior of individual vendors and merchants may affect the image of the entire scenic spot and even the entire city. All localities should adopt a "zero tolerance" attitude toward such behavior that disrupts market order.

Chen Yinjiang, deputy secretary-general of the Consumer Rights Protection Law Research Association of the China Law Society, said that some vendors and small shops do not have a strong sense of integrity and law-abiding and only care about immediate interests, unaware that it may affect the image of the entire scenic spot or city.
How to control illegal vendors and consumption chaos in small shops? The reporter learned that with the popularity of many tourist cities, Harbin, Sanya and other places have launched mechanisms such as one-click complaints and advance compensation for tourism consumption. Government departments advance compensation first and then investigate and recover from merchants, effectively reducing the cost of protecting tourists' rights. .
Chen Yinjiang suggested that all localities should adopt a "zero tolerance" attitude towards such behaviors that disrupt market order, and strictly investigate every case they find. At the same time, relevant departments should urge relevant operators to operate with integrity and abide by the law, and open after-sales service channels to facilitate consumers to report problems in a timely manner.
Currently, consumers’ awareness of rights protection is also increasing. A survey report previously released by the China Consumers Association showed that consumers’ initiative to protect their rights continues to increase. In this regard, Chen Yinjiang said that it is now easy for consumers to retain evidence by taking photos or recording videos and exposing it online. This has significantly enhanced the effect of social supervision and is important for safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and urging operators to operate with integrity and law. , Creating a good consumption environment is of positive significance.
