The Mid-Autumn Festival and National Day in 2019 are approaching, and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism reminds tourists to raise their safety awareness and strengthen self-prevention.
First, pay attention to travel tips and make full preparations before departure. Pay attention to the travel tips issued by tourism, diplomacy, meteorology, transportation and other departments, be cautious to travel to tourist destinations with unfavorable traffic, public security, health and climate conditions, and choose peak-shifting or unpopular tourist destinations.

Outbound tourists should also fully understand the laws and regulations of the destination, religious and cultural traditions, customs and habits, and the addresses and contact numbers of our embassies and consulates in the country.
The second is to strengthen safety awareness and improve preventive ability. Avoid carrying a lot of cash with you, and avoid the separation of people and bags when traveling, visiting and shopping. Avoid going to sparsely populated areas, poor communication, areas that are not open to the outside world or have potential safety hazards, and try to travel together to avoid traveling alone or at night. Do not accept food or drinks provided by strangers easily, and be careful to chat up strangers or follow them to other places. Outbound tourists should take their entry and exit documents and credit cards with them and take good care of them, and pay attention to preventing the risk of credit card theft. Never carry luggage or articles for strangers, and avoid carrying contraband for others without knowing it. Keep in touch with family and friends during your trip, and update your travel schedule and contact information to them in time.

Fasten your seat belt while driving, know the use of safety hammer and fire extinguisher and the location of escape doors and windows in advance, and master the correct method of emergency escape. Take precautions when taking a taxi or online car, refuse to take a black car, and do not carpool with strangers.

Fourth, pay attention to fire safety and prevent fire risks.

In the process of traveling, you don’t go up the mountain without kindling..Smoking, barbecuing or using open flames are found in places where inflammable materials such as lush vegetation and leaves are piled up or where there are fire prevention tips. Go on road trip should check in advance whether the oil circuit and circuit of the vehicle are safe, whether the fire extinguisher on board the vehicle is complete and easy to use, and do not load flammable items such as fireworks and firecrackers. When staying in a hotel, you should know the fire escape route as soon as possible, be familiar with the direction of the safety exit, and put an end to lying on the sofa and smoking in bed. Once the fire is found, call the fire alarm number quickly, indicating the fire address, fire substance, fire size, etc.
Fifth, carefully select high-risk projects and maintain rational consumption. When participating in sightseeing projects, carefully choose high-risk tourism projects according to your own actual situation, and don’t blindly pursue excitement in tourism exploration.
