Once upon a time, beating Chinese tourists, banning Chinese entry, and discriminating against Chinese tourists were common abroad, but when the Chinese really did not go, these countries began to regret it, hoping that Chinese tourists could ignore their previous suspicions, and it was too late to regret without thinking about it.

In recent years, with the development of China's economy and the increase of residents' income, more and more Chinese tourists choose to travel abroad.
However, discriminatory practices against Chinese tourists by some countries have led to a sharp decline in the number of Chinese tourists, which has hit their tourism industry hard.
During travel abroad, incidents of beating and insulting Chinese tourists have occurred from time to time. Some shops clearly marked "unwelcome Chinese," openly displaying unfriendliness to Chinese tourists.
During the epidemic, the United States has closed the visa channel for Chinese students and issued bans on Chinese citizens in some areas, which has undoubtedly hurt Chinese's feelings.
As the world's largest outbound travel market, the spending power of Chinese tourists plays a pivotal role in the development of tourism in other countries.
In Europe, for example, Chinese tourists generate tens of billions of euros a year. Without the support of Chinese tourists, the tourism industry of many European countries is bound to suffer.
However, some countries have failed to recognize this. For example, Japan and South Korea, two tourist destinations that used to be popular with Chinese tourists, have lost a large number of Chinese tourists due to discrimination.
Some Chinese who regularly travel to Japan and South Korea say that the attitude of people in these countries to Chinese tourists is very uncomfortable, and some shops deliberately raise prices to bully Chinese.
While the number of Chinese tourists has rebounded sharply after the pandemic, the governments of Japan and South Korea still adhere to discriminatory policies against Chinese tourists, such as mandatory inspections, additional checks and other cumbersome procedures, which have discouraged many Chinese tourists who would otherwise be willing to visit Japan and South Korea.
Zhang criticized these countries for "failing to realize the seriousness of the problem" and that it was too late to remedy it.
Similar problems also arise in some European and American countries. A Chinese tourist who traveled to France did not expect to be robbed by local gangs when he first arrived in France.
The tourist said that the Chinese face in Paris served as a target for these dark sides of society, and the safety of Chinese tourists' lives and property could not be guaranteed without the inaction of the local police.
In stark contrast to countries that discriminate against Chinese tourists, some countries are very welcoming to Chinese tourists, offering more convenience and preferential policies.
After the epidemic, some tourists originally planned to go to Japan and South Korea, but after hearing about the discriminatory policies of these two countries, they changed their minds and chose friendly Thailand as their first outbound destination.
Some tourists who visit Thailand say that they have felt the warmth and friendliness of the Thai people from the moment they board and get off the plane. Not only has the Thai government introduced a series of facilitation measures, but ordinary people have also been polite to Chinese tourists.
This feeling of being respected is very good and makes the trip rewarding. Driven by Chinese tourists, Thailand's tourism industry has ushered in a boom.
With the rapid growth of China's economy, the international influence of Chinese tourists is also expanding. Whether a country sincerely welcomes Chinese tourists will directly affect the choice of Chinese tourists.
Countries that once discriminated against Chinese tourists are now "regretting" and hoping to win back the favor of Chinese tourists.
But what these countries are doing has seriously damaged their image in the eyes of Chinese tourists, and there is certainly a long way to go to re-establish good relations.
Of course, during the great holiday, Chinese tourists can also make full use of the rich tourism resources in China. China's mountains and rivers are magnificent, the history and culture are thick, and the attractions are all over the place.
Chinese tourists can enjoy leisure in China and feel the charm of the Chinese nation.
