Blacklist for tourists who give China a bad name
CHINESE tourists who behave badly are to go on a blacklist as the nation seeks to improve the image of its citizens as holidaymakers.
A new China National Tourism Administration regulation says tourists will be blacklisted for offenses including antisocial behavior on public transport, damaging private or public property, disrespecting local customs, sabotaging historical exhibits or engaging in gambling or pornographic activities.
Records will be kept in a two-tier system. Provincial-level tourism authorities are responsible for cases under their jurisdiction while the NTA will be in charge of a nationwide register.
People will stay on the list for two years after they offend.
The NTA said tourism authorities will inform blacklisted tourists and “propose correction measures in order to mitigate the negative impact.”
It said tourism authorities reserve the right to report such violations to public security, customs and transport authorities as well as the central bank’s individual credit department.
There’s growing concern about ill-mannered Chinese tourists at home and abroad.
In 2013, one wrote his name on a relief carving in Luxor, Egypt.
In December, a passenger threw a cup of hot instant noodles at a flight attendant on an international flight.
Chinese tourists have also been fined or jailed for carrying prohibited items or purchasing wild animal products.
