Sivarnee (China)
Not every Chinese tourist is a rude one, and educated people are usually better behaved than those who have had a lower standard of education. This could be why the middle-aged or older tourists who have been deprived of or received little education tend to act more unruly. Many of them do not speak English, and some are not fluent putonghua speakers. Their knowledge of the destination country and its culture is often at best outdated or non-existent.

Like many commentators, I am not convinced that Chinese travelers on the whole behave worse than other groups when traveling abroad. We Yanks, along with our German and Israeli friends, for instance, have long suffered poor reputations when traveling. My personal worst embarrassment for a compatriot happened in Rome, where I witnessed a loud American in a cowboy hat, black socks, and sandals look down at the Roman Forum and say to his wife, " more ruins—if you’ve seen one ruin, you’ve seen them all. "
Chang Jun (the US)
As China rises to the second largest economy in the world, Chinese visitors are also traveling everywhere including Europe, Australia, Southeast Asia and Latin America.
Although destination countries and regions welcome the tourism dollars and the buying power, they are upset with the chaos, hassles and bad behavior some Chinese tourists bring upon their cities.
In light of the Chinese tourism boom, some industry insiders believe the government should implement educational programs. For example, mandatory etiquette classes for visitors prior to their departures are encouraged to help them better behave in foreign countries and cultures.
Gavin (the UK)
As a nation that has quadrupled its income over the last decade, you’re dealing almost exclusively with people who aren’t used to being abroad, and as a consequence, the Chinese don’t particularly know how to holiday. They are seldom to be seen playing beach-bat with the kids, or reading Dan Brown in a sun lounger, because they don’t switch off like that. The high-flyers who make it out don’t strictly "do" downtime. Hence you find them shuffling around beachfronts in packs, wondering what exactly they’re meant to be doing when the answer is right in front of them. They’ve got the money. So they’re going on holiday "because they can".
Sophie (Australia)
Why have the Chinese risen so rapidly to join the ranks of the world’s most boorish tourists? In their defense, they are not the only tourists in the world considered to be rude. Despite all the recent media spotlight on Chinese misbehavior, Americans still rank as the world’s worst tourists, according to a recent opinion poll.
And Chinese have gained wealth so quickly that they have become thrust into global tourist culture without the time to create guideposts that other nationalities might enjoy. For instance, there is no Chinese equivalent of Lonely Planet, encouraging young Chinese to go explore the world and respect the cultures and communities they enter. In many countries, Chinese are still viewed with suspicion during visa review processes. Chinese tourists always seem to travel in huge packs because joining a tour group makes getting a visa easier.

My Views on Rude Chinese Tourists With the rising passion for traveling around the world, Chinese have boosted the destination countries’ revenue but meanwhile regretfully, misbehaviors of some Chinese tourists are also becoming headaches of the local governments. Though Chinese are not the only tourists who are entitled the worst tourists around the world, a small portion of Chinese tourists do damage China’s image as they are now classified as one group without much education, abusing wealth, disrespect of local cultures and lack of knowledge on how to enjoy the tour. It is a bias to say all Chinese tourists have such misconducts but to analyze the reasons does benefit China. Scarcity of resources, lack of education, the change of the traditional family structures and the shortage of privacy are all contributors. Meanwhile, since China’s opening up to the outside world around forty years ago, Chinese have accumulated wealth so quickly that they have become thrust into global tourist culture without the time to create guideposts that other nationalities might enjoy. Alerted by the increasing traveling ill manners and to curb the worse excesses, Chinese government has begun in 2015 to establish a "blacklist" of offenders who demonstrate illegal or improper behavior abroad. The banned behaviors typically include causing disturbances on public transport, damaging cultural relics, ignoring social customs and engaging in gambling or prostitution. The local governments also issued relevant guidelines for tourists. We can also hear some scholars asking for more understanding and tolerance of those uncouth and isolated behaviors. However, no matter what the causes and the results are, no matter what countermeasures have been taken, it is urgent to promote a healthy and civilized way to travel and to improve the level of civilization of tourists. That demands regulations and laws as well as training and education, and more importantly, the improved self-awareness of all Chinese tourists.
