On the Spring Festival, more and more citizens have chosen to travel abroad. The incidents of the tourist camp in Baikal Lake in Russia and the explosion of a speed boat in Phi Phi Island in Thailand have made the issue of tourism safety once again prominent.

Spring Festival travel, to ensure safety, to ensure happiness, pay attention to these issues, to have a safe and peaceful "tourism year."

Overseas driving

Traffic safety can not be ignored

In recent years, overseas self-driving tour is increasingly favored by tourists. However, data shows that in overseas tourism, traffic has become an important factor affecting the safety of outbound tourism.

According to industry insiders, due to different infrastructure conditions and different traffic regulations in different countries, Chinese tourists often experience accidents due to unfamiliarity with local road conditions, traffic regulations and fatigue driving. In addition to self-driving, some overseas car rental companies are operating erratically and drivers are not allowed to take up posts without permission, which may lead to traffic accidents.

Take Thailand, an overseas tourist destination that Chinese tourists love. The Chinese Embassy in Thailand reminded tourists to visit Thailand during the Lunar New Year. Thailand’s vehicles have left their right rudder. Contrary to domestic driving habits, be careful when crossing the road. Although the "Momo" and "Tuk Tuk" are quick and convenient, they lack the necessary safety protection and should be carried cautiously. If you choose a taxi, you should confirm the metering and billing in advance, write down the license plate number and driver's license number, and take good care of your belongings during the ride.

Purchase insurance in advance

Reporters learned that in recent years, experiential tourism projects with certain risks, such as high-altitude hot air balloons, jungle leaps, deep sea diving, and skiing, have become increasingly popular with Chinese tourists. Some tourists participate in dangerous projects without necessary training or do not follow local safety regulations. They do not follow the guidance of professionals and blindly go to dangerous areas, causing casualties.

Travel abroad to participate in tourism projects with certain risks, to assess the safety and security of the project. Select a qualified and licensed tourism agency, follow the guidance of professionals, understand the local safety and emergency facilities, and do protective measures such as wearing a life jacket. Do not act alone. Do not blindly visit current dangerous areas. According to their own physical and mental ability to choose whether to participate, do not blindly follow the trend, do not be "must play the project" and other similar publicity gimmick attraction. In addition, buying insurance is one of the ways to effectively reduce the risk of harm. Tourists can purchase more targeted travel accident insurance according to their own situation.

Immigration

Carry things to pay attention

When it comes to customs, it is a common thing to bring souvenirs. What should we pay attention to?

According to the "Administrative Measures on Quarantine of Imported and Exported Personnel in China", some outbound articles should be declared and accepted for quarantine, and they can be brought out of the country. For the simplest example, if a dog goes out with the owner, it needs to declare and quarantine.

However, there are advances and exits, leaving the country does not mean that you can safely "fall." Because "the items that leave the country depend on whether the destination country or region permits entry."

For example, if you have a habit of snacking, the plane needs to fly for 8 hours. You bring 3 bags of beef jerky, 2 apples, a bag of plums, and so on. But on the plane, you only eat 1 bags of beef jerky and a half, in addition to remaining an apple, then, if your destination country or region they are considered contraband, and that you check the time of entry, these snacks will be trapped destroyed.
