After many unpleasant incidents in recent years involving rude, unruly and sometimes illegal behavior by Chinese tourists at home and abroad, the national tourism authorities have finally stepped up punishment measures aimed at *curbing some bad acts and repairing the name of Chinese tourists. The *Tentative Regulations on the Management of Uncivilized Tourist Behavior, issued by the National Tourism Bureau in late March, is the first national-level legislation seeking to crack down on such behavior, also known as a “tourist blacklist”. It threatens to collect information on misbehaving tourists and share it between police, customs, banking and other authorities, which could impose penalty measures on tourists on the list.
