Recently, the refusal of a hotel in Dongguan, Guangdong Province to receive Yi people from Liangshan, Sichuan, has attracted widespread attention. The news quickly spread on social media, raising questions about the new challenges that exist in the hospitality industry. But why are Liangshan Yi people listed as "undesirable" guests?
Cultural differences lead to misunderstandings
First of all, let's be clear that the challenges faced by the hospitality industry come from many aspects, and its Chinese differences are an important factor. The Yi people of Liangshan have unique traditions and customs that are different from the people of other regions. These differences can lead to misconceptions about their behaviors, needs, and biased treatment by hotel staff.
For example, the Yi people like to travel with family members, which can be inconvenient for some hotels. They also sometimes perform traditional ceremonies in the hotel, which may not be in line with the hotel's rules. As a result, some hotels may choose to refuse to accommodate Liangshan Yi people because they are unable to accommodate these special needs.
Problems arising from travel behavior
Second, we cannot ignore the impact of tourism behavior on the "unwelcome" of the Yi people in Liangshan. With the rapid development of tourism, a large number of tourists have poured into many places, including the Yi people of Liangshan. Due to the existence of some bad tourist behavior, the hotel industry began to take a cautious attitude towards the Yi people in Liangshan.
For example, there have been reports that some Yi people in Liangshan have problems with environmental pollution, destruction of cultural relics, and uncivilized behavior during tourism. These negative behaviors have brought some trouble to tourist attractions and the hotel industry, leading to the adoption of restrictive measures against the Yi people in Liangshan in some places to protect tourism resources and improve the quality of services.
The existence of prejudice and discrimination
Finally, we need to confront the prejudice and discrimination that exist in society. Although we live in a multicultural society, racial discrimination still exists in the minds of some people. Some hotels may not accept Liangshan Yi people, which may be due to the misunderstanding and prejudice of employees about Liangshan Yi people.
This bias is not limited to the hospitality industry, but also exists in all corners of other industries and society. We need to eliminate this discrimination through education and awareness-raising, so that everyone can enjoy equal treatment and services.
To sum up, there is no single reason why Liangshan Yi people are listed as "undesirable" guests. Cultural differences, travel behaviour, and prejudice and discrimination all play a role. As a member of society, we should work together to promote cultural exchanges, eliminate prejudices, and create an inclusive and harmonious social environment.
