Despite the vigorous campaign in Jiangcheng City to rectify the chaotic situation in the tourism industry, eliminating a number of tourist traps and rogue guides, the performance of the tourism sector actually encountered a significant decline, with both the number of visitors and the total consumption experiencing a large-scale drop when compared to the same period in previous years.
The impact of the vicious incident where a pregnant woman was beaten until she miscarried by a rogue guide could not be smoothed over in a short time.
The influence of the event continued to spread, and the affected areas were no longer just Jiangcheng City; the tourism businesses of many well-known tourist spots around the country suffered as well.
Rogue guides, compulsory shopping, and irresponsible travel agencies—these perennial problems had been breeding resentment among the populace. This incident ignited public fury, completely unleashing the pent-up anger of travellers who had been deceived.
