Third, matters needing attention in summer travel
While enjoying the beautiful summer vacation, in order to make the travel of tourists smoother and experience more comfortable, the National Tourism Administration specially reminds tourists to pay attention to the following matters:
1. Strengthen self-protection and attach importance to travel safety.
Safety is the top priority. Tourists are advised to refer to the travel tips issued by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs or the National Tourism Administration to avoid risky destinations before choosing outbound destinations. In terms of domestic tourism, the competent authorities of scenic spots should remind tourists to pay attention to safety and do their own safety inspection. Tourists should not only make good preparations for travel, but also make good preparations for travel safety. Water sports are hot in summer. When participating in activities such as mountain rafting, bamboo rafting, kayaking and speedboat, they should wear life jackets. Minors must be led by their parents to participate in water recreation projects.
2. Sign a travel contract and buy travel insurance.
To buy tourism products, you must go to a qualified travel agency and sign a travel contract with the travel agency. Clearly stipulate the product content, travel itinerary, service price, service scope, accommodation standard, tourist attractions, shopping spots, time schedule, means of transportation, rights and obligations of both parties and liabilities for breach of contract, etc. When signing a contract, you should carefully read the terms of the contract, and ask clearly about the vague and unclear terms in the contract before signing it, and indicate them in the supplementary agreement. Don’t trust verbal promises. For tourism products that are obviously lower than the normal price, we should be cautious before signing the contract. It is recommended that tourists buy a travel accident insurance before traveling.
3. Plan the route in advance to avoid traffic congestion.
During the summer rush hour, group tours or vehicles from go on road trip flood into tourist cities, which leads to a sharp increase in urban road traffic and is prone to long-term traffic jams. According to the "2017 China City Research Report" published by Baidu. com, during the summer vacation, the traffic congestion in major provincial capital cities and municipalities directly under the Central Government is more serious than other cities. For example, Harbin, Jinan, Chongqing and other cities may have more serious traffic congestion; The comparison of traffic conditions between working days and weekends shows that the weekend congestion in most cities in China can often be alleviated, especially in Shanghai, Dalian and Xiamen. From the comparison between morning and evening peaks, it can be seen that the congestion phenomenon of evening peaks is more serious than that of morning peaks in most cities in China; From the analysis of the congestion of expressways and non-expressways, it is found that expressways in Beijing, Shanghai, Chongqing and Changchun are prone to congestion, while traffic congestion of non-expressways in Harbin, Jinan and Shijiazhuang is more serious. Tourists are advised to make travel plans in advance to avoid time periods and road sections prone to congestion.
4. Reasonable and legal rights protection, to build a tourism civilization.
When tourists encounter difficulties during their travels around the country, they can seek solutions from the tourist police, scenic spot service personnel and destination public service departments. When traveling abroad, they can ask the local embassies and consulates for help. You can call the "12301" travel service hotline if you need to consult or complain about rights protection. In the event of a conflict, tourists should remain calm, not take excessive actions, and further expand their losses. On the one hand, they should actively communicate, negotiate in a civilized way, and rationally safeguard their rights. On the other hand, they should pay attention to collecting and keeping relevant evidence materials. When visiting a tourist destination, we should respect the local natural environment, protect cultural and historical sites, respect local customs and habits, not affect the lives of local people, walk mountains and rivers with our steps, spread civilization and share happiness with our actions.
