At present, more and more people are crazy about travelling. Why do people travel? "To see more of the world," many people would say. But travelling abroad now means much more than that for the growing number of Chinese tourists. Of course it offers us good chances to meet people from other countries, learn about their culture and customs.
According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), more than 1 billion people travelled to another country in 2012, that was 30 percent more than in 2011. It can also bring both China and foreign countries great economic benefits (经济利益). Chinese people usually join large tourist groups and visit several countries in one trip.
Chinese people don't just travel for sightseeing. Many Chinese decided to travel abroad before Christmas Day because stores offered discounts (打折) during that time, so shopping in Europe and the United States is popular among Chinese travelers.
In December, China has a very cold winter. So many people travel to some countries in Southeast Asia because the weather there is quite pleasant.
More Chinese can travel abroad, but many of them don't have a sense of public manners. A report even said Chinese are the world's second worst tourists.
If you want to change that bad name, remember not to do so: littering, spitting, snatching bus seats, line-jumping, taking off shoes in public, talking loudly and smoking in non-smoking areas. Besides, we should learn some necessary manners of foreign countries.
