Local prize painter Zhang Chunlei has recently returned to new travel sketches, and he reads his experience in Jiangnan Water Village, China.In the impression of the artist, the small towns such as Zhouzhuang and Wuzhen have already belonged to the excessive commercial tourist attractions.Three -piece set.He still remembers the beautiful impression left by the other town eight years ago. This time, he promised his friends to invite and wanted to visit the simple and natural Tongli, but found that there was a ticket booth in the entrance road in the town.Tourists enter all of each person for 100 yuan (about S $ 18.6) per person.Town tourists are weaving everywhere, and the merchants blindly solicit business. Such emotional situations disappointed the nostalgic painters. After returning, they went to Facebook to vomit bitter water.
People from various places on Chinese holidays are full of common news.In August last year, I restarted a trip to China after the epidemic, entered the country from Guangzhou, took the China Southern Airlines flight, and visited the ancient city of Xi'an.When the local schools were on vacation, almost every attraction was crowded with parents from children from all over China, which made me truly feel the actual situation of the crowd of people and the actual situation of life.
This scenario is probably not limited to China.Cross -border tourism restarts after the epidemic, and the hotspots of tourism around the world are facing the same challenge, that is, how to protect tourists and boost the economy while protecting local tourism resources and the daily life of local residents?In the face of increasingly rising passenger flow, the famous Italian city Venice started on April 25th to offer tourists who entered the city for a day tour and collect a 5 -euro daily fee.When issuing relevant reports, Agence France -Presse said that this move was the world's first, which seemed to be a bit ignorant.
Europeans who have always paid attention to human rights will not be collected in this special measure applied by the official.According to reports, on the day of the implementation of the daily fee measures, about 300 people gathered at the Central Railway Station of St. Lucia to protest. Some people raised their slogans: "Venice is non -selling!""Venice is not a museum or an ecological protection area. This is a city. Tourists should not buy tickets into the city."
Venice has more than 100 large and small islands. It was included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO in 1987 and has always been one of the popular attractions for tourists.At the end of 2004, I was alone in the cold sea water, and the memory of the San Marco Square was still in front of my eyes.Today, in the peak tourist season, there are as many as 100,000 passengers who spend the night in the city of Venice, which is more than double the number of residents 50,000 in the local area.There are hundreds of thousands of tourists who travel around every day. They drowned the San Marco Square, the Ridto Bridge and countless narrow ancient city streets in the endless crowd.
In 2023, UNESCO once listed Venice into the endangered heritage list on the grounds of huge passenger traffic and the influence of the Gulf water.
The dilemma like Venice is not unique to its unique problems.In Penang, Malaysia, which was successful in 2008 and was promoted to the World Heritage City, was also tried to get out of its own balanced development in this pair of contradictions.
Residents want to live with the passengers without day and night?
At that time, Ernis, a young painter from Lithuania, painted a picture of "sister and brother riding a bicycle" picture on the outer wall of the old house at the corner of the ancient city alley.I painted a "child climbing wall" ... So, in the original empty streets in George Town, a wind of tourists searching for murals, bringing business opportunities that can be encountered in Penang, and trying to try to change their appearanceThe ancient city residents realized that culture and business can be a dual channel for each other.
At the same time, at the same time, they are unwilling to be influenced by those crazy tourists for the general citizens and elderly folks who are accustomed to the pace of life in the past and invade the original tranquil life pace of life.It is a tourist master, and he wrote a mansion and humanistic travel notes. In recent years, the senior Penang writer of the studio has also opened the studio.Ask a question: "There is no day or night, but people living in a tourist city have to be unlucky to live with the passengers without day and night?"
The tourism industry is known as the smoke -oriented window industry. Under the modern concept of pursuing carbon neutrality, how to make the tourism industry sustainable and healthy for a long time is not only a subject worth exploring in the industry, but also Singapore, which is keen on overseas tourism.A realistic issue that citizens must consider.
Recently, Lianhe Morning Post exclusively reported a coffee shop downstairs in the House of Jilan Dan Road, and began to receive a Chinese travel group carried by tourist bus to provide the group guests with morning and lunch services.The reporter quoted the owner of the chicken rice stall, saying that most of the nearby residents were older people who were older, and their spending power was not high. The business of coffee shops had not been good. As a result, tenants were replaced many times.Watching tourists can make up for the lack of traffic in coffee shops.
Vigorously attracting foreign tourists is the main purpose of the Singapore Tourism Bureau.In the first quarter of this year, Changi Airport opened the door. The passenger flow surpassed the level before the crown disease epidemic for the first time, reaching 16.5 million, which was 0.5%higher than the passenger flow in the first quarter of 2019.In order to meet the market demand for the strong recovery of aviation tourism, the large -scale construction bidding of the first Fifth Passenger Building of Changi Airport has launched in March, and the entire project will start construction next year.
The plank to plan ahead is Singapore based on the world, maintaining an invincible magic weapon in economic competition.Only small red dots in the land of projectiles, how to digest the increasingly growing tourists and the benefits of the promotion of the local economy, can the disadvantages of the inconvenience to the lives of local residents may bring?
How to obtain the balance between the two is a practical problem that the official must think twice.
Another report recently.The residents of Hakko Town, Fujishan, Japan, were unpredictable and disrupting foreign tourists who did not follow the rules and disrupted the local tranquility. They decided to set up a large black barrier at a popular location to block the rude foreign tourists to take pictures.They threw garbage, ignored the traffic rules to stop, and even climbed up the roof of the store to shoot Mount Fuji, and repeatedly persuaded.The local government has to take such regrettable moves.
Singaporean is proud of civilization and politeness, and I believe that it will not make such annoying bad traces and evils.On the other hand, in the face of a large number of rushing passengers, they will not only walk around the Botanical Garden on the World Heritage List, but also not only walk on Jinsha Casino, Wujie Road, and Sentosa, but also appear on our university campus and from time to time.The restaurant may now appear in the coffee shop in the House area.As a resident of Lion City, are you all ready to treat guests?
"Do not do what you want, do not apply to others."I think that the Chinese and Y generations have probably accepted the influence of Confucianism. The Gen Z -generation Chinese who grew up in Taylor's singing should also be prepared for their thoughts.
