10.8 food poisoning incident in Hailuogou, Sichuan, industry chaos

"10 8 food poisoning incident in Hailuogou Scenic Area" is not the first case in China. In recent years, food poisoning incidents have occurred frequently in scenic spots: in 2004, more than 100 people were poisoned by food in Guilin "Nongjiale" Hotel, and in 2008, food poisoning incidents occurred in Nanchang Xinhujing Food City, which made people worry. How can I eat with confidence when traveling?

"It's only a matter of time before something happens in the tourism catering market. This poisoning incident should attract the attention of government departments. " According to a professional manager who has been engaged in tourism for a long time, the chaos in the tourism catering market is mostly caused by tour guides, because the biggest source of income for tour guides at present is the fees deducted from tourists' catering and shopping links.

As long as the tour guide takes the tourists to dinner, the hotel will pay the tour guide a rebate per head, which has almost become the "hidden rule" of the tourism industry. However, wool comes from sheep, and some restaurants try their best to "save money" on ingredients: choose inferior ingredients, hogwash fat, overnight stale meals and so on to deal with tourists. Therefore, the occurrence of food poisoning in Hailuogou Scenic Area is not accidental.

On the one hand, it is the black-hearted behavior of businessmen who only pursue interests and are irresponsible; On the other hand, the lack of food safety supervision is also the main reason for this poisoning incident. "During the Golden Week holiday, there were more tourists in the scenic spot than usual. In addition to maintaining the normal public order in the scenic spot, the last thing managers should ignore is food safety, because once something goes wrong, it is a big deal. " Zhou Wei, a professor at Sichuan University Law School, suggested that relevant departments should introduce effective food safety policies in tourist attractions to prevent similar poisoning incidents from happening again.
