Current commentary on uncivilized tourism

This is supposed to be an aesthetic leisure trip, but there are frequent uncivilized scandals. "Appraisal of ugliness" is a kind of collective introspection. Only when public opinion creates pressure on the uncivilized will changes come faster.

Many scenic spots during the National Day holiday have become a journey of "ugliness review" that has to face the shortcomings of the public morality of the Chinese people. A large amount of garbage was left in Tiananmen Square after the flag was raised. Tourists ignored warnings and climbed the ruins of the ancient wall of the Old Summer Palace. Tourists got into group fights at the Miaozhai Scenic Area in Guizhou. Passengers who were stuck in a traffic jam on the Ningbo Expressway got off their cars and "carried" large winter melons from the farmland next to them.

News about these uncivilized travels frequently appeared on the Internet and in various media throughout the long holiday. It seems that during this golden week when the Tourism Law was first implemented, uncivilized phenomena have not been significantly reduced. Is it that tourists’ moral standards are declining year by year? Of course not.

Due to the development of self-media, any clues of uncivilization may be "reported" by Weibo, thus forming an "amplification" effect in the communication process. We need to see the ugly side, but we cannot ignore the improved side. For example, the amount of garbage in Tiananmen Square has actually been significantly reduced compared to previous years, proving that the quality of tourists is improving year by year.
