It also happens on Chinese tours in the US. The tour operators often get a percentage of the sales made at a stop. So the visit to a store may be extended till enough items have been bought. A cousin's wife was a tour guide for a summer back East. Another relative of mine had an argument with a tour guide when this was tried on her.
