BEIJING tourism authorities are hunting a tour guide videotaped threatening sightseers with a knife and vile language because they didn't buy enough from shops where they were taken.
A tourist from Tianjin filmed the 25-second video while on a tour to visit the Badaling Great Wall and Thirteen Tombs of the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644) on Wednesday. But the group spent seven hours at six shops where they were hounded to buy, Beijing News reported.
By noon, they group hadn't spent enough, so the driver refused to transport them and the tour guide, surnamed Meng, started spouting dirty words. The video shows Meng shouting at a tourist, "You get off! I will kill you," while trying to reach the tourist with a knife.
The whistleblower said the group signed up for the tour, which purportedly operated by China International Travel Service. Several officials from Beijing CITS said they didn't employ Meng or operate the bus the tourists took, and suspected Meng illegally started the business under the name of CITS, the paper reported.
The Beijing Tourism Development Commission had determined whether the one-day Beijing was an illegal operation, but said the bus was not authorized for tourism.
