Preamble:
In recent years, China's outbound tourism market has developed rapidly, and the enthusiasm of Chinese tourists for outbound travel is high, and tourist destinations from various countries have become popular attractions for Chinese tourists. However, among these popular attractions, there are some countries that have become exclusive to Chinese tourists for various reasons, such as Vietnam. The antipathy of the Vietnamese people to Chinese tourists is very serious, coupled with the extortion of Vietnamese border inspection and customs staff, as well as the discrimination of some businesses against Chinese tourists, this series of events has made Vietnam a country specializing in Chinese tourists, and recently, Vietnam's tourism industry has also ushered in unprecedented challenges. Beating Chinese tourists and openly extorting money, what will happen to this country that specializes in pit Chinese?
1. Beating and blackmailing Chinese tourists
The anti-China sentiment in Vietnam is obvious to all, and such sentiment has also deeply affected Vietnam's tourism industry. In Vietnam, Chinese tourists have been openly discriminated against and blatantly blackmailed, and among these incidents, the most outrageous is the violent treatment of some Chinese tourists.
1. Blatant extortion of money
In Vietnam, border inspection and customs workers are nicknamed "big guys" by Chinese tourists, because they always take advantage of their positions to openly ask Chinese tourists for "tips".
If Chinese tourists don't give money, the "big guys" will make things difficult for Chinese tourists, and some will even use violence, and in some scenic spots in Vietnam, there are also some so-called "volunteers", who will also ask Chinese tourists for "tips", and these so-called "volunteers" are actually some "black tour guides" who enter the attractions without permission.
This kind of extortion has seriously damaged the personal rights and interests of Chinese tourists, and has also greatly affected Vietnam's image.
2. Assault on Chinese tourists
At the Mong Cai port in Vietnam, there was an incident of beating up a Chinese tourist.
At that time, a Chinese tourist was severely beaten by the Vietnamese border guards just trying to call to ask if he needed to pay a "tip", and the Chinese tourist's mother also witnessed the whole process of her son's beating.
As soon as such an incident was exposed, it aroused strong indignation in Chinese society, and also made many people feel great disgust towards Vietnam, believing that Vietnam is indeed a very cunning country, a country that specializes in pying Chinese tourists.
2. The decline of Vietnam's tourism industry
More and more Chinese tourists have begun to realize the "pitfall" in Vietnam and have begun to choose to give up traveling to Vietnam, while some travel agencies have also begun to temporarily cancel Vietnam's tourist routes to avoid unnecessary troubles for tourists.
Coupled with the mask problem, the global tourism industry was almost all diving, and Vietnam was no exception, and a large number of people lost their jobs as a result.
When the Vietnamese government was full of confidence to reopen its borders and wanted to boost its economy through tourism, it found that Chinese tourists had disappeared, which undoubtedly made Vietnam's tourism industry worse.
After losing the favor of Chinese tourists, Vietnam's tourism industry has had to turn its attention to other countries, and now, South Korea has become the main force supporting Vietnam's tourism industry, but compared to Chinese tourists, South Korean tourists have significantly less spending power.
Vietnam's response has also been a bit sluggish, and they have begun to increase the training of tourism practitioners, severely crack down on bullying and stealing customers, and even introduce preferential policies for Chinese tourists.
Some countries and regions with relatively safe and more standardized services have become the new favorites of Chinese tourists, and the domestic tourism industry has also ushered in unprecedented development opportunities.
Epilogue:
Vietnam, as a country located in Southeast Asia, does have a unique natural scenery, as well as a unique cultural charm, for Chinese tourists, it does have a lot of attraction, however, Vietnam's domestic anti-Chinese sentiment, as well as all kinds of discrimination and blackmail against Chinese tourists, but Vietnam's image has been greatly affected, but also Vietnam's tourism industry, ushered in unprecedented challenges.
In the international tourism market, Chinese tourists play a pivotal role, and tourist destinations of all countries should treat Chinese tourists in a friendly manner, without any discrimination or extortion.
Among Chinese tourists, there should also be a sense of civilized tourism, respect local customs and habits, and not have any uncivilized behavior, so as to truly achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and promote cultural exchanges and cooperation between countries.
If you just want to go out to relax yourself, the country is undoubtedly a more suitable place for tourists, all provinces and cities in the country, have unique tourism resources, but also let people appreciate different customs, so, in the future travel choices, you may wish to choose to travel in depth in the country, so that you can also make a contribution to the economic development of the country.
