Warning signs in foreign streets and alleys are written in Chinese. Why?

Because the quality of China people abroad is too poor!

People who do uncivilized things are all from China.

In the 199s, if someone told their relatives and friends that they had traveled abroad, they would often attract envious eyes. But now if someone says that again, what they get may be a casual "Oh". According to the statistics of the National Tourism Administration, in 25, the number of Chinese citizens traveling abroad reached 31 million, ranking first in Asia. According to the prediction of the World Tourism Organization, by 22, China will become the world's largest tourist receiving country and the fourth largest tourist source exporting country.

Tourism, as a sunrise industry in China, is increasingly winning huge business opportunities for China, and is increasingly becoming the first choice for Chinese people to relax.

However, when Chinese people open this "window of the world", not all the "wind of modesty and gentleness" that once swept the world is displayed. From 25 to now, from Paris to new york, from Hongkong to Taiwan Province, domestic and foreign media have repeatedly disclosed and reported various uncivilized behaviors of China citizens when they travel. In Paris, Washington and other places, shameful Chinese signs such as "Don't make noise", "Don't spit everywhere" and "Please flush with water" have been erected specifically for China tourists. Some countries have even taken extraordinary measures such as not accepting Chinese tour groups and letting Chinese tour groups eat in isolation. The tourism quality of Chinese people was criticized for a while, which triggered a war of "sharing the same enemy" to attack uncivilized travel.

3, letters "report" uncivilized behaviors

In August, 26, the Central Civilization Office and the National Tourism Administration began to implement the action plan to improve the civilized quality of China citizens' tourism in view of the seven uncivilized behaviors of "slovenly, unhygienic, ignorant of etiquette, unruly order, disobedient laws and regulations, careless about the environment and public facilities, and noisy". It is planned to draw up a guide for China citizens' outbound tourism behavior and a convention for China citizens' domestic tourism behavior (hereinafter referred to as the guide and the convention), and in mid-August, a joint announcement was issued soliciting "uncivilized behavior of China citizens in tourism" and "suggestions on improving China citizens' quality of tourism civilization".

these measures have received enthusiastic responses from all walks of life. In just half a month, I received more than 3, letters, emails and messages from people at home and abroad, and the page views of related websites reached more than 3 million. On September 23rd, the National Tourism Administration announced the "uncivilized behaviors of China citizens in tourism", in which seemingly insignificant behaviors such as littering, spitting, blowing your nose, spitting gum, and not flushing in the toilet have become the most uncivilized behaviors at home and abroad. In addition, enthusiastic netizens also listed in detail the typical uncivilized behaviors when traveling abroad, such as "picking one's nose, picking one's teeth in public, wearing too much clothes, men shirtless, and women bare their backs and thighs".

formulate improvement measures to "encircle and annihilate" tourism bad habits

In addition to the enthusiastic response of the people themselves, the Central Civilization Office, foreign affairs, public security, transportation, tourism and other relevant departments have also formulated improvement measures in a timely manner.

In view of some tourists' behaviors that touch the edge of the law, such as "keeping non-disposable tableware at will and not respecting local folk customs", the Central Civilization Office proposed not to rule out the addition of relevant punitive clauses in the Passport Law in the future.

the national tourism administration has decided to carry out the theme practice activities of "civilized tourism image ambassador, civilized tour guide, civilized travel agency, civilized tourist, civilized post and civilized tourism reception service unit" to guide Chinese people to cultivate good travel habits with a positive image.

More than 1 tourism enterprises in Beijing collectively signed a declaration of war against the uncivilized phenomenon represented by "lack of public morality, neglect of public hygiene, untidy clothes and indecent manners". China International Travel Service (CITS) has set more than a dozen points for attention about how citizens should abide by local culture and customs when traveling overseas, and posted posters related to the Convention to all shop fronts, requiring tour guides to give them good quality training before traveling.

The leaders of more than 17 national scenic spots and more than 4 provincial scenic spots in China have also actively changed their areas from extensive to legal and institutionalized management according to the requirements of the Convention and the Guide. Enhance the consciousness of tourists' civilized tourism by collecting civilized tourism terms from tourists and selecting "civilized tourists". In addition, some scenic spots have also strengthened the construction of hardware facilities to reduce the dilemma that tourists complain that "it takes dozens of minutes to find a garbage can" and create a good external environment for tourists to travel.

A foreign power commented: "The relentless exposure of China's government and people to tourism bad habits and the enforcement of the Convention on Civilized Tourism show that China has unprecedented self-confidence."
