Outbound travelers in Europe. Don't spit or talk loudly in public places. Wait in line. Eat quietly. These are just a few of the guidelines for outbound travelers that will be included in a nationwide campaign this month aimed at encouraging people to mind their manners when they travel. Posters, brochures and TV ads promoting the campaign and its new symbol will appear at bus stations, railway stations and airports during the Spring Festival, a time when millions of Chinese traditionally travel across the country. The Spring Festival starts on February 18 this year. The campaign's organizers will meet and discuss the guidelines with the first outbound tourist group to travel during the Spring Festival holiday, said Li Renzhi, a senior official of the China National Tourism Administration, at a press conference yesterday. The administration, in conjunction with the Spiritual Civilization Steering Committee of the Communist Party of China's Central Committee and nine other government departments, launched the campaign last August. They sought advice from the public in compiling the guidelines, and in the end received at least 30,000 suggestions from both home and abroad. More than 3 million people participated in the discussion. China's tourism industry has developed rapidly in recent years, but "the behavior of some Chinese travellers is not compatible with the nation's economic strength and its growing international status," the committee said. Last year, there were 34.5 million overseas trips and 1.4 billion domestic trips, according to the administration. The World Tourism Organization predicted that the number of Chinese outbound travelers would hit 100 million by 2020. It has been reported that many tourists behave improperly in public places. "The most typical improper behavior involves spitting and talking loudly in public places," he said. "Some tourists also take pictures regardless of whether they are permitted, and jump over the rails when signs say 'no trespassing'," said Liang Yuan, manager of the outbound tourism marketing department of China Travel International. "Polite manners are a reflection of a country's character. We will continue to remind travelers to watch their behavior, and explain to them the social conventions and etiquette in their destination countries before they depart," she said. 點擊查看更多雙語新聞 (China Daily)

禁止在公共場所隨地吐痰、大聲喧嘩。自覺排隊。吃飯時不要說話。 這些只是我國出境游游客行為規范的其中幾條。本月，一項旨在鼓勵國內游客注意自身言行舉止的活動將在全國范圍內開展，游客行為指南問題將是此項活動的一大主題。 用以宣傳此項活動的海報、小冊子和電視廣告及活動標志將于春節期間出現在汽車站、火車站和機場等地方。春節假期向來是出境旅游的高峰期。今年的春節假期將從2月18日開始。 國家旅游局高級官員李仁志在昨天的新聞發布會上說，活動主辦方將與春節期間第一個出境游旅游團會面并對行為規范的問題進行討論。 國家旅游局、中共中央精神文明建設指導委員會及其它九個政府部門于去年8月聯合發起了這項活動。 活動主辦方在編撰行為指南的過程中，向社會公眾征集了很多意見和建議。據統計，主辦方最終共收到三萬條來自國內外的建議。此外，共有三百多萬人參與了行為規范的討論。 精神文明建設指導委員會指出，近年來我國旅游業發展迅速，但“一些中國游客的行為舉止與國家的經濟實力及不斷提高的國際地位很不相稱。” 據國家旅游局統計，去年，我國出境游游客達3450萬人，國內游客達14億人。世界旅游組織預測，到2020年，中國的出國旅游人數將達到1億。 據報道，很多中國游客在公共場所的行為舉止不妥。 李仁志說：“最典型的不文明行為就是在公共場所隨地吐痰和大聲喧嘩。” 中國國際旅行社境外游市場部經理梁袁說：“有些游客不管可否隨意拍照，有的人則無視‘禁止翻越’的標語，翻越圍欄。” 她說：“文明舉止是一個國家國民素質的體現。我們將繼續提醒游客注意自己的言行舉止，同時也會在出發前向游客介紹游覽地的社會習俗和禮節。” （英語點津姍姍編輯）
