When traveling under certain circumstances, you need to bring a good safety manual. What are the five tricks to make you travel smoothly?

As the saying goes, "Travel is to discover beauty", but safety is the biggest prerequisite. In today's frequent outbound travel accidents, China tourists need to enhance their risk awareness with the mentality of "nip in the bud".

The reporter found that five aspects, such as entry barriers, natural exploration, transportation, social security and religious customs, are the key links to ensure "safe outbound travel". It is very important for China tourists to follow the rules of "high-risk links" for their safe travel.

Homework before departure is indispensable.

In recent years, in Jeju Island, South Korea, as well as the "new favorites" of Sri Lanka and Madagascar, some China tourists have encountered difficulties when entering and leaving the country.

"At present, there have been many cases in which China citizens brought cigarettes into Sri Lanka and were seized by Sri Lankan customs, confiscated, severely punished or even detained." On the eve of the peak of outbound travel during the Spring Festival this year, the Embassy of China in Sri Lanka issued several announcements to remind tourists that Sri Lanka has very strict control over the entry of cigarettes, and only enterprises authorized by the Sri Lankan government can import them. "Passengers are forbidden to bring cigarettes into the country, or once caught, they will be punished as smuggling."

In Madagascar, known as the "Island Forgotten by Time", many exotic creatures, such as stout baobabs and dexterous lemurs, are increasingly sought after by China tourists. At the same time, however, there are more and more incidents in which China tourists are caught and punished by airport customs for carrying prohibited items.

"According to the law, Madagascar is forbidden to bring turtles, crocodiles, seahorses, precious wood and other animals and plants and related products out of the country." Mr. Chen, who has just returned from a local tour not long ago, told reporters that China tourists must not illegally carry prohibited items when traveling in this "world-independent" island country, and must declare truthfully when necessary.

It is worth noting that the number of cases in which China citizens have been prevented from entering Jeju Island has also increased recently. "'visa-free entry' does not mean' leave if you want'." Li Wei, director of customized tourism products in Shenzhen Han Ying, told the reporter that China tourists must do their homework before leaving the country, carefully check the local visa policies and entry and exit conditions, prepare the travel itinerary, hotel reservation forms, round-trip air tickets and other materials, and make full preparations.

Natural environment:

Don't invade strange places.

In the past week, the crash of a hot air balloon in Cappadocia, Turkey, caused widespread media concern. On March 14, local time, three hot air balloons suddenly encountered strong winds over Capadocia and crashed into the ground during an emergency landing, resulting in injuries to 49 tourists on the hot air balloons, including 23 tourists from China.

Cappadocia is famous for its magnificent karst landforms, and taking a hot air balloon has become a "must-play project" for many tourists. However, the changeable local weather has brought many challenges. As early as the end of 20 14, in a hot air balloon crash, 1 tourists from China were killed and four people were injured.

At present, China tourists have traveled all over the world. While exploring the beautiful scenery, tourists in China need to pay attention to the unfamiliar natural environment, climatic conditions and the potential safety hazards.

New Zealand, rich in tourism resources such as snow-capped mountains, lakes, forests and canyons, has become a paradise for hikers. But beyond the beautiful scenery, the danger is approaching. According to New Zealand Tianwei. Com, an average of 6 people in the local area are in distress when hiking in the mountains every year. According to statistics, in the past 65,438+00 years, about 34,000 people were injured while hiking in the local area, and 3,000 people were rescued and returned safely.

Besides islands, there are mountains. During the Spring Festival this year, a 5 1 year-old China tourist from Inner Mongolia died of altitude sickness while hiking in Sagamata. According to reports, an official of the Nepalese Tourism Bureau said that the China hiker was not registered with the Tourism Bureau and did not seek services and support from an officially authorized hiking agency.

Recently, the Embassy of China in Israel also handled two consecutive incidents of China tourists drowning in the Dead Sea. "When swimming in the sea, don't stay away from the crowd. Pay attention to the changes of waves and tides. " The embassy reminds tourists to pay attention to local safety tips and choose to swim in safe waters when there is life-saving care. Regarding the "safety of wading", the Embassy of China in Sri Lanka also suggested that the Indian Ocean is rough and undercurrent. "Tourists should recognize the warning signs before swimming, and inserting a red flag on the shore means that it is very dangerous. It is strictly forbidden to go to sea. "

Transportation:

We should tighten the string of safety.

In recent years, traffic has increasingly become a key factor in the safety of outbound travel.

In 20 13, the bridge connecting Sun Hui, Laos and Qingkong, Thailand was successfully opened to traffic, and more and more tourists from China entered Thailand by bus from Qingkong Port via Laos. The data shows that in 20 13 years, the number of China cars entering Thailand from this port was 3 1 17, and the data increased significantly in the following years.

However, China tourists are not familiar with the traffic situation in Thailand. For example, in 20 15, 33 China citizens were killed in a traffic accident in Thailand. The Embassy of China in Thailand said that the core reason is that vehicles in Thailand drive on the right, and the traffic rules are just the opposite of those in China. In some car accidents, China tourists habitually observe the vehicles on the left before crossing the road, but the vehicles hit from the right.

"When I first arrived in India, it was difficult for me to adapt to this. China tourists are new here, and they are definitely not used to the right rudder. " Mr. Wei, an employee of China enterprises who has been stationed in Mumbai all the year round, told reporters that most local public transport is not closed, so China tourists should pay special attention to safety.

In Sri Lanka, the "mountain train" that shuttles through tea gardens and the "sea train" that floats by the sea make this Indian Ocean island country "the country with the most beautiful train lines in the world". However, I don't know when "hanging the train" in the local area has become a unique experience that some China tourists yearn for.

Some trains in Sri Lanka have no doors, outdated facilities and are very crowded. In the second half of 20 16, at least three tourists from China died in the train. Visitors to Sri Lanka should be cautious about "hanging the train" or taking photos outside the car mentioned in some travel guides, and must stay away from the car door to avoid accidents.

Social security:

Don't get involved in the war epidemic easily.

As a highly competitive destination, France has always been favored by China tourists. However, a series of terrorist attacks in recent years have made French tourists hesitate to go to China.

"In 20 16 years, museums and places of interest in France rarely attracted tourists. In addition to the Pompidou Cultural Center, places of interest such as the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre and the Palace of Versailles have all suffered from Waterloo. " France's "European Times" quoted AFP as saying that the Paris region lost 6.5438+0.5 million tourists last year, especially those from China and Japan. "A series of terrorist attacks have chilled their hearts."

When traveling abroad, safety comes first, and the level of social security has become an important consideration for China tourists to choose overseas destinations.

"Burundi, Chad and Rwanda are good places to observe endangered mountain gorillas. If you want to meet African chimpanzees on foot, please go to the Kibalai forest in Uganda. " Overseas Chinese in Africa Weekly reported that some tourists have ventured to experience local tourism, but there are still security threats of war and terrorism in some areas. In this regard, China tourists should try to avoid going to emerging tourist destinations.

In addition, the raging epidemic also needs extra care. Recently, the Department of Consular Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs forwarded the tips from embassies to remind visitors to Namibia to take precautions against the "Congo fever" epidemic; China citizens in Congo (Brazzaville) should guard against monkeypox epidemic and try to avoid contact with animals, especially wild monkeys; The cases of yellow fever infection in Brazil, Suriname and other countries continue to increase, so China citizens should pay special attention.

Religious etiquette:

Do as Romans do in Rome.

When traveling abroad, it is also important for tourists to respect local customs and religious etiquette.

According to Thailand's World Journal, Cha Chai Lin, the owner of the White Temple in Thailand, said that some western tourists like to cuddle and kiss Iron Man when taking photos with him in the temple chair, which caused him serious harm. Some tourists even point their feet at Buddhist sculptures for friends to watch, which is forbidden in Buddhist places.

Respect for religious etiquette has become a "compulsory course" for outbound tourists. In Sri Lanka, many tourists were punished for shooting lion rock murals. The Embassy of China in Sri Lanka reminds that taking photos of local cultural relics is prohibited, and visitors should pay attention to the restrictions on taking photos. You must dress appropriately and take off your shoes when visiting the temple, and you usually need permission to take pictures in the temple.

From February 16 this year, Tunisia, known as the "back garden of Europe", has implemented visa-free entry for China tourists. The policy is favorable, and the upsurge of going to China can be expected. Tourists should make more preparations before going, especially to understand the local religious etiquette. "Except for a few mosques that are open to tourists, non-Muslims are generally not allowed to enter mosques." The Embassy of China in Tunisia reminds tourists that they can shake hands when greeting Muslims, but some women with deep traditional ideas do not shake hands with men. If you want to take pictures of local residents, please ask their permission first.

Respect etiquette, do as the Romans do, be a "well-behaved" China tourist, and exercise self-moral restraint, which will not only help to cultivate a tolerant character, but also win the respect of the world.
