  If you open the column,

  Summer is coming, at the peak of tourism. The top priority of traveling is safety. How to ensure safety in different types of tourism? What should I do if I am in distress? Starting from today, this edition launched a series of reports on "Paying attention to summer tourism", introducing the overall situation of tourism safety and matters needing attention, and paying attention to three popular tourism forms, namely, scenic spot tour, go on road trip tour and overseas tour, and talking about the current situation and countermeasures.

  In summer, the weather is changeable, and tourism safety incidents occur from time to time, reminding tourists that they should take necessary safety precautions when traveling.

  What preparations should I make before traveling? When traveling, what should you pay attention to in order to have a safe and enjoyable time?

  Pay attention to water sports

  Avoid blind exploration

  Li Wei from Changsha, Hunan, took her children to travel to Xiangxi. Instead of choosing a popular scenic spot, their family went to a place that is not famous and has not undergone much commercial development to climb the mountain.

  Before leaving, wei li specially checked the local weather forecast, suggesting that there was moderate to heavy rain. He didn’t pay too much attention to it, and he thought of a place to improvise.

  When the Li Wei family arrived at the foot of the scenic spot, light rain began to float in the sky. Beside, many tourists chose to continue climbing the mountain, while Li Wei decided to leave the scenic spot with his children and find a place to live. "Fortunately, there was no luck at that time. The next day, I heard local residents say that tourists who climbed the mountain yesterday were trapped on the mountainside for several hours, and it was particularly dangerous to go down in the dark in the middle of the night. " Wei li said.

  Zhan Dongmei, an assistant researcher in china tourism academy, said that with the development of China’s tourism market, the number of tourists is increasing, and the safety incidents in tourism are also on the rise. Tourism safety has gradually become the focus of increasing attention from all walks of life. Especially in summer, the tourist season, the weather, special play items and other reasons increase the safety risks. Water-playing projects, such as rafting, water parks and trips to islands and lakes, have become the hardest hit areas that have caused safety accidents. Drowning and water traffic accidents are the main factors that cause tourists’ death and injury.

  Outdoor activities tourism projects, such as hiking, hot air balloon sightseeing, paragliding, etc., also have different degrees of security risks. In addition, due to the differences in climate and geographical environment, the level of tourism infrastructure and sudden natural disasters, tourists are also at risk in travel and accommodation.

  "Tourism safety risks can generally be divided into several categories." Zeng Bowei, an associate professor at the School of Tourism of Beijing Union University, said. First of all, normal visits can also be risky. For example, there are some hidden dangers in scenic spots with water and mountains, and warning signs and tips should be set up. If tourists pay attention to the risk warning information, it is easier to avoid such risks. In another case, tourists take part in adventure activities, such as outdoor sports and extreme sports planned by informal organizations, including extreme sports at high altitude, rock climbing or water sports, which are more risky. Especially for beginners, it is easy to have security problems.

  Do a good job of risk warning

  Strengthen the investigation of hidden dangers

  Zhan Dongmei believes that tourism has strong comprehensiveness, wide coverage and long industrial chain, involving transportation, quality inspection, food, health, fire protection, meteorology, public security, entry and exit control and other fields. Problems in any link may damage the safety of tourists’ lives and property.

  With the rapid expansion of the scale of the tourism market, tourists’ travel modes are increasingly diversified, the tourism industry chain is continuously extended, the domestic and international environment is increasingly diversified and complex, and the responsibility system for tourism safety supervision is not yet perfect. The probability of tourists encountering various safety risks during their travel is increasing day by day, and the pressure on tourism safety protection is increasing.

  Zhan Dongmei said that the tourism authorities should do a good job in risk warning and management. Tourism business units should strengthen the ability of risk monitoring and early warning, establish an all-round and all-time risk monitoring and early warning system, monitor tourism risks in real time, and issue risk early warning to places and regions with excessive risks; Tourism organizations should actively do a good job in risk assessment and reminder, as well as publicity and education of tourism safety knowledge.

  "Relevant departments have the responsibility to give necessary tips on risks, and to conduct timely investigations on the safety of tourist facilities in scenic spots." Zeng Bowei said that the tourism safety problems in some scenic spots are due to the safety problems of tourism facilities themselves. For such problems, we can eliminate hidden dangers in time by strengthening investigation. For tourism enterprises, especially operators, relevant departments should improve the rules and regulations of safety management. For example, when a travel agency organizes a group, it is necessary to give safety education to the guests in advance and popularize some necessary self-help methods and measures. Safety is the lifeline of the tourism industry. Only when the supervision is in place, the responsibility is not left blank, and the "safety belt" of tourism is tightened with strict systems and solid actions, can the unknown risk factor be minimized.

  "Different tourism safety incidents have completely different definitions of responsibilities and need to be subdivided." Zeng Bowei said that if tourists are in distress while visiting the scenic spot, and the scenic spot has done the necessary warning or preventive measures, then the personal responsibility of tourists will be more. For example, the scenic spot heightens the protective fence in the dangerous area and sets up tips, but tourists have to climb regardless of the tips. The responsibility of this situation is more obvious.

  Draw up a safety strategy

  Buy supplementary insurance

  Han Yuling, vice president of China Tourism Talent Development Research Institute, believes that many reasons for frequent tourism safety accidents are due to tourists’ lack of safety awareness.

  "For example, in Beijing, some donkey friends like hiking in Fenghuangling Scenic Area, and people often get lost." Han Yuling said, "In order to reduce risks, the Beijing Tourism Commission specially installed safety light poles along the way that can emit light at night, charge mobile phones and have GPS positioning function to help lost tourists. However, many people feel that it is not exciting enough, so they choose to go further and go to the area where the safety light pole can’t reach. Some people think that the pursuit of excitement and attention to safety during the journey are mutually exclusive and cannot have both. But in fact, without security, how can we enjoy and experience the journey better? "

  "Before traveling, it is best to draw up a safety strategy." Zhan Dongmei said that free travellers should properly understand the natural environment and social factors of their destinations, guard against potential safety hazards caused by extreme weather, and master the methods of seeking help in emergencies. For tourists who take part in tour groups, travel agencies usually introduce safety precautions before they leave, so they should listen carefully. Passengers traveling abroad should fully consider natural disasters, social security and other factors, and pay attention to the travel safety tips of embassies and consulates and tourism authorities in time.

  Visitors should also enhance their awareness of safety and details. It is reported that there was a sudden braking of amusement facilities in Tianjin Happy Valley. After inspection, it was found that small objects such as hairpins and chewing gum dropped from tourists triggered the safety device. In fact, before taking the amusement facilities, the staff will explain the safety precautions, while some tourists are lucky, eager to save trouble and don’t pay attention to it. In the process of playing, we should always beware of casual little moves and small things that affect the safety of ourselves and others.

  "If you are in distress during the trip, don’t panic. Asking for help is also skillful. " Zhan Dongmei said that after the distress, you should ask professional rescuers for help at the first time. If you can’t know the direction and the location of the distress, you must tell the rescuers as much information as possible about the terrain characteristics. If it’s getting late, it’s best to stay where you are and reduce other dangers during the journey. Call for help from the outside world by mobile phone, preferably by SMS, and turn it on every half hour to save the power of the mobile phone. When using a life-saving whistle for help, a distress signal should be issued according to the internationally accepted "six whistles per minute". When necessary, some branches or other combustible materials can be collected. After lighting, some wet branches or grass can be added to make it raise smoke and help rescuers determine the location.

  Zeng Bowei said that buying insurance is becoming the choice of more and more tourists. Tourists should fully estimate the risks they may face when traveling, find out the insurance that suits them, and then choose an insurance company. Many people confuse travel agency liability insurance and travel accident insurance: travel agency liability insurance, which is required by the national tourism administration to insure passengers, and many cases are not covered by this insurance. When consumers travel, it is best to supplement their own travel accident insurance to add a layer of protection for travel.

1905 movie network news At 7: 00 pm local time in Venice on September 2, the main venue of Venice International Film Festival, Lido Island, the world’s first "Belt and Road" documentary film held an international promotion conference full of oriental characteristics, from Italy, France, Germany, Britain, the United States, Japan, Spain and other film companies, distribution company representatives, international producers, film critics, More than 200 people attended the film promotion meeting, including Italian Ansa news agency, French Agence France-Presse, British Reuters, China Xinhua News Agency, China Central Radio and Television General Station and other domestic and foreign media as well as the film creative team. Together, they witnessed the film’s first sound to the world.

For the first time, China paid attention to the global vision of human destiny and told the real power.


Screenwriter Lei Jianjun speaks.

    The 3-minute preview of the international version of Common Destiny kicked off the promotion meeting. The trailer makes the audience feel a journey of exploration across all corners of the world, following the footsteps of time from East Africa, the birthplace of human beings, to Europe, from Xinjiang, China to Central Asia, and from the polar regions to South America. Beautiful pictures and real and simple characters left a deep impression on the guests. This notice is similar to the poster of "Silk Road" in Common Destiny. This poster combines China culture with contemporary design, and imagines the Silk Road on land and the Silk Road on the sea in the form of silk and ink. The strong Chinese style shines everywhere in Venice Film Festival, which makes the guests stop to take photos as a souvenir, and at the same time expresses great expectations for this film.

    Mr. Guy Hibert, a famous British screenwriter and winner of four British Academy Awards, is the chief recommender, and he is also one of the screenwriters of this film. Mr. Guy Hibert recalled the original intention of the film in interesting language. He believes that "this film has made us see hope, as if it had brought a ray of light to the unsettled world." Besides being curious about the works, the guests at the scene also felt the tenacity and sincerity of China filmmakers.

    Subsequently, the producer also exposed the highlights of three stories in the film for the first time: a Kenyan girl who loves painting decided to go to Nairobi alone in order to find a painting teacher, regardless of her family’s hair, and finally let her find a teacher and continue her painting dream by taking the Munne Railway jointly built by China and Nairobi. An old Spanish papermaking man went to China to find the birthplace of papermaking in the face of the disappearing handicraft papermaking. After seeing the conflict and inheritance of papermaking in Jingxian County, China, the old man decided to return to Spain and accept young people who wanted to follow him to continue the glory of this handicraft. The truck driver in China took his niece, a young and rebellious young literary woman, back to the ancient Silk Road. At first, they didn’t like each other. On this Silk Road, they experienced various difficulties and dangers, and they were gradually influenced and changed by each other.

playwrightGuy Hibert speaks.

    Many people at the scene were moved by this short clip, and they all said: This is a real and powerful story. Chinese’s way of reading the world is very clever, and his emotional resonance is better than a thousand words. Jacques Noel, a French international film publisher, said: "This is a film that belongs to all mankind. Its story direction and emotional expression make me feel very cordial, regardless of class, region or race. This is a problem that we human beings have to face together today, and how we will go to tomorrow together." 

Breaking barriers, promoting multicultural integration, sharing common feelings and dreams and creating Common Destiny


Martin Campbell speaks.

    A heavyweight guest was also invited to the promotion meeting — — World famous director martin campbell. Mr Martin is the most successful director in the "007" series, and his films are popular all over the world. Mr. Martin said, "My films are for people all over the world to enjoy, and they are also shot all over the world. Many of them are about collisions and conflicts. Today, I saw a film that is also appreciated by the world, but it is about cooperation between different civilizations. They are the stories of ordinary people, who began to work hard to realize what they have always dreamed of doing. This film is inspiring and a worldwide theme, which will attract audiences all over the world. "

    As one of the screenwriters of this film, Lei Jianjun, a professor at Tsinghua University School of Journalism and Communication, also interpreted this film from the perspective of scholars. "Today, the development of science and technology and society makes people more closely compared with any time, and at the same time, we are facing more and more serious problems than any time. Therefore, we make such a documentary "Common Destiny", so that everyone can perceive the common feelings and dreams of human beings through the lives of ordinary people. These real people tell us with their real stories that human society with diverse cultures has both common feelings and common destiny, and cooperation is our future. " 

Spanish papermaking old man speaks

    Jiangtao Qu, a representative of the veteran documentary director group who won the Oscar documentary award, the Silk Road Film Festival documentary award and the Emmy award, told the story about the hardships in the creative process: a team of 300 people traveled 300,000 kilometers in two years, and experienced the heat, cold, disease, hunger, language, war and even ethnic differences. However, the entire creative team did not give up and still insisted on finding the most authentic voice in the world. At the promotion meeting, the two protagonists in the film: the Spanish paper-making old man and the rebellious literary young woman on the Silk Road were invited to the scene to share the stories behind the scenes with the guests. Together with the organizers, the Spanish elderly prepared a beautiful scroll made of hand-made paper for each guest present, symbolizing the blending of Chinese and Western cultures. An opera derived from the story of a truck driver pushed the promotion meeting to a climax. This opera has always been a dream of young women in literature and art. On that day, the organizer fulfilled her wish for this persistent and lonely girl and moved the opera to the Venice promotion meeting. The story of the opera and the story of the movie have the same concept: the whale at 52 Hz is lonely, but there is always a person or a voice in the world that will resonate with you, perhaps separated from Wan Li, but they have the same mind and are linked by fate.

    The guests at the scene were deeply moved by the real emotional expressions of the two protagonists, and the China filmmakers moved the audience in Venice in an ingenious way. Foreign media have said that "real power, feelings beyond national boundaries, and endless charm." Liu Jun, the representative of the producer and deputy general manager of Xindingming Film and Television Investment, said: "It is the common wish of me and my partners to tell the story of China to the world and tell the story of the world to China. This time, it is an attempt for us to cooperate with the world-class team. I hope this is a beginning and opens the way for our common future."

    At the end of the promotion meeting, all the guests present collected the brochure of Common Film without exception, because they were all moved by a sentence in the brochure, which is also the slogan of the film: This is your story, my story, yesterday’s story, today’s story, and even more, our story of moving towards tomorrow together.
