The Consular Protection Center of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs reminds outbound Chinese tourists to make various preparations before departure, prudently formulate travel plans, be vigilant of various security risks, and ensure personal and property safety. 1、 Before departure, it is necessary to have sufficient advance access to official channels such as the China Consular Service Network, the "Consular Express" new media platform, and the website of overseas embassies and consulates to understand the precautions for destination tourism. Reasonably choose travel routes, plan travel schedules, and inform family members in advance. Understand the entry regulations at the destination and ensure that you meet the entry requirements. Understand local laws and regulations, cultural customs, natural conditions, currency types, etc., and prepare necessary medicines and medical equipment based on one's own health condition and travel plan. 2、 Safety awareness must be established when going out, putting safety first. Please establish a sense of being the first person responsible for overseas security, and do not travel to undeveloped or insecure areas due to check-in, curiosity, or following the trend. During the journey, taking photos, videos, or using drones must strictly comply with local laws and regulations. If traveling with a group, please choose a qualified and reputable legitimate travel agency, carefully choose low-priced groups, try to avoid traveling alone, and actively consider purchasing personal accident insurance for travelers. 3、 The safety of the event must be ensured by carefully selecting high-risk projects such as snorkeling, drifting, and rock climbing. If you decide to participate, you should receive training before the event, master life saving knowledge, correctly wear life saving or professional equipment, follow the instructions of the staff, and act within your capabilities. Pay close attention to the weather conditions and do not engage in activities during dangerous or closed hours. Always pay attention to the prohibition signs, do not cross fences, warning lines, etc. due to curiosity or pursuit of excitement, and be cautious of falling or drowning incidents. 4、 Traffic rules must comply with the driving rules of some overseas countries and regions, which are different from those in China. Traffic accidents involving Chinese tourists may occur. We should have a comprehensive understanding of local road conditions, driving habits, and traffic conditions, strictly abide by local traffic regulations, fasten seat belts when riding or driving, avoid dangerous behaviors such as speeding, drunk driving, running red lights, and fatigue driving, and try not to travel at night or in extreme weather.

In some countries and regions, infectious diseases such as dengue fever are more common. Close attention should be paid to the local epidemic situation and public health trends, personal protection and self health monitoring should be done well, and effective mosquito prevention and control measures should be taken. If there are physical discomfort symptoms such as high fever, muscle soreness, rash, and severe pain, seek medical attention in a timely manner. 6、 In case of emergencies, it is necessary to pay close attention to the local safety situation and public security situation, pay attention to the surrounding environment when traveling, and stay away from places where riots and crowds occur. If disputes arise with local law enforcement personnel, intermediaries, travel agencies, airlines, etc., please exercise rational rights protection, pay attention to preserving evidence, resolve them through negotiation or legal means, and avoid taking extreme actions. In case of sudden accidents such as robbery or car accidents, it is necessary to remain calm and composed in response. On the premise of ensuring personal safety, report the case to the local police in a timely manner and contact the embassy or consulate for help. 7、 Remember to keep in mind the local alarm number, emergency call number, and consular protection of foreign embassies and consulates when seeking help
