Many tourists have been asked to buy things when they travel to different places here. And now more and more people know such things because of online videos or friends around them (who have traveled to other places and asked to buy things.) If they don't buy, the guide will not feel happy and will do something to punish the tourists.

My friend asked me to travel to relax. She's working for a travel agency. After she said that, I jokingly asked her:

Will I be pushed and forced to purchase there?

Is my question natural?

Most of that is poorly worded. I could only make some sense of it when I read the last sentence.

Again, that doesn't make much sense!

No. See suggestion.
 
"Rich" is not the correct antonym here!
That was a joke though a bad one.

Please help me with the poor worded paragraph when you're not busy, teechar.

Much appreciated!
 
You should try to write it yourself. Focus on the main idea, and keep out irrelevant details.
