In September 2013, the China National Tourism Administration(国家旅游局)issued a new
set of tourist guideline in order to improve tourists' behavior when they travel abroad. Although the 64-page handbook contains suggestions for Chinese tourists when traveling at home, the mainpurpose is to improve the poor reputation(声誉)of Chinese tourists abroad.
In 2013, more than 83 million Chinese people traveled overseas, up 18 percent from the year
2012, according to the China Tourism Academy. But even as they travel farther, the Chinese
tourists continue to take bad habits with them. From damaging ancient Egyptian temples to letting
children defecate(排便)in the middle of airports, Chinese tourists have earned a bad fame.
Chinese Vice-Premier Wang Yang even stressed the need for Chinese tourists to behave better
while traveling overseas so as to protect China's image abroad.
Now with the latest "guidebook", Chinese travelers should have no excuse for rude
behavior. According to the guidelines, when using the restroom, Chinese tourists are asked not to forget to flush the toilet after using it.
The guidelines also remind tourists of not fighting with others when they want to take pictures
at tourist attractions. When flying, the guidelines advise travelers not to take life vests(救生衣)away from airplanes.
Chinese tourists are also encouraged to be respectful of local customs wherever they travel. In
the United Kingdom, for example, it is not polite to ask people。Where are you going?" or
“Have you eaten?", the handbook says.
Nevertheless, with a very short history of traveling overseas, it is not surprising that many
Chinese tourists behave badly on their foreign trips. We should give them time to change.
