Chinese tourists have always been regarded as one of the main pillars of South Korea's tourism industry, and they are known for their reputation as shopaholics, contributing greatly to the country's tourism industry and economic development. However, South Koreans have not been friendly to Chinese tourists, often accusing them of low quality and even calling for a boycott of their visits. However, if we really talk about quality and garbage, the Koreans themselves are to blame, because their uncivilized behavior is more serious.
The most recent event occurred at the Seoul World Fireworks Festival in South Korea, which attracted millions of South Koreans. Although the fireworks show lasted less than two hours, a staggering 50 tons of garbage were left on site. From the floor to chairs, masks, water bottles, packaging bags and other garbage were everywhere, forcing more than 2,000 volunteers to clean up trash late at night. Notably, volunteers had already handed out garbage bags to participants before the event, but most chose to throw away trash haphazardly rather than put it in bags.
This is not the first time that Koreans have left a lot of trash at the event site. At the last fireworks festival, 45 tons of garbage were also left, which shows that the quality of civilization of some Koreans has not improved over time, but has become worse. This time there is even more garbage than three years ago.
Despite the huge economic opportunities that Chinese tourists bring to South Korea, many Koreans still view them negatively, accusing them of being unqualified and uncivilized. Some attractions even use Chinese signs warning "Don't throw garbage away," and some restaurants even put up "No Chinese Inside" signs, showing obvious insults. Some so-called South Korean experts and industry insiders have also called for less reliance on Chinese tourists, but in reality, it is very difficult to find alternatives with strong purchasing power like Chinese tourists.
Objectively speaking, there are indeed a small number of Chinese tourists with low quality and uncivilized phenomena, but this is only a very small number of people, and everyone cannot be beaten to death with a stick. It is a fact that most Chinese tourists are civilized travelers. We have no objection to the fact that incivility should be stopped, but the majority of innocent people should not be classified as uncivil. In addition, sometimes it may just be Chinese tourists who are wrongly scapegoated for Korean incivility.
The incident, which littered 50 tons in less than two hours, made some South Koreans feel very humiliated, believing that they were not qualified to blame Chinese tourists. Some South Korean netizens said that many people take littering on roads and parks for granted, and it is precisely because of these unqualified people that people are reluctant to go to these places. Other South Korean netizens even pointed out, "Is this still embarrassing Chinese tourists? "There may have been Chinese tourists scapegoated in the past, but this time, South Koreans can no longer find a reason to blame them."
To sum up, although there are some frictions and misunderstandings between Chinese tourists and South Korea, we cannot generalize, let alone classify everyone as uncivilized because of individual incidents. Improving the quality of tourism requires both sides to work together, not simply blame each other. It is hoped that the future cooperation can be more friendly and smooth, benefiting both sides.
