Shopping: shops
"Shub-tours" in Kastorju are of two kinds: with obligations and without. The program they have the same, the difference is only in the payment of the tour and its terms. Duration - from three to five days in winter and from five to fifteen in the summer.
Tours with obligations have been proposed for a long time, they were jointly developed by tour operators and manufacturers of the city of Kastoria
Most of the costs are borne by representatives of fur associations . . Accordingly, the manufacturers compensate for this by increasing the price of fur products by the difference between the actual cost of the tour and its selling price, and the tourist, when buying such a tour, signs a paper in which they fix their obligations to buy during the trip zdki fur products for a certain amount or pay some money if the purchase does not take place .
Tours without obligations differ in that in their case the fur coats do not compensate the expenses of tour operators for the organization of the trip. Accordingly, the price for them is higher, but the fur products offered in them have a real price. Tours with obligations should not be considered an "unfair game" - fur coats do not go up in price more than the difference in the cost of these two travel options, so that in the end, tourists pay in both cases approximately the same. However, they must be notified about the difference in prices, so that later there should be no complaints because of misunderstanding.
In "Edik" tourists coming to them are given yellow tags for those who bought tours with obligations, red ones - without obligations. Prices correspond to the tags: as soon as sellers see red tags, they reduce the price by 400-500 EUR
