How to improve the civilized quality of citizens traveling abroad

Comrade Editor: In recent years, more and more Chinese people have chosen to go abroad to “travel around the world.” According to statistics, the number of outbound tourists in my country exceeded 83 million last year, making it one of the countries with the fastest growing number of outbound tourists in the world. However, some uncivilized behaviors of some Chinese tourists affect foreigners' views of Chinese people, and also reveal that the civilized qualities of Chinese tourists are still lacking. Some Chinese tourists often take their domestic “informalities” abroad. For example, littering everywhere; making loud noises in public places; not following the rules, not being humble, cutting in line at will; graffiti, damaging items; disrespecting local customs, etc. Although more and more travel agencies have conducted outbound etiquette training for tour guides and tourists through "pre-departure briefings", a small number of tourists still go their own way, and bad habits are hard to change. Chinese people go abroad to see the world, and the world also sees China. Every Chinese person's actions abroad not only reflect their personal accomplishment, but also represent China's image. It is recommended that the "Week Tea House" discuss how to improve the quality of citizens' outbound travel, and that everyone should work together to promote the early formation of civilized tourism trends.
