A
[Direct conclusion] 【Usually difficult.
Key points to keep in mind:
1. Damages for distress face a high threshold in practice and require serious consequences.
2. More realistic routes are a partial refund of the service fee, a written apology, and in serious cases replacing the guide, terminating and claiming actual losses.】 Feasible claims: Rather than pursuing distress damages, aim for compensation that can actually be obtained.
3. | Claim | Feasibility | |---|---| | Written apology | high | | Partial refund | fairly high | | Replace the guide | possible on the spot | | Distress damages | high threshold | ◆ Tip: ask for a replacement guide on the spot, then keep evidence and negotiate later.
4. We take service attitude seriously and act immediately.
Note: The earlier you raise a change, the more options you have.
