Chinese tourists enjoy a tour on the River Cam at the University of Cambridge, UK, during the summer of 2017.

But if such behaviors are outlawed and the law is strictly enforced, like in Singapore, it is not impossible to change people's bad behaviors Preferably proper manners/behaviors are taught at a young age at school and home so that people behave naturally and not because of fear of being penalized pandemonium(U I think it depends on the size of the group of Chinese tourists and where they go. In Europe I see small groups of Chinese tourists( well they speak Mandarin) and they are polite and nice But in Thailand, I was coming down in a hotel lift when a Chinese group was checking in; as soon as the lift doors opened they pushed me back into the lift and crushed me against the wall. I had to go up to their floor with them and I went back down in the empty lift Again as soon as the doors opened on the ground floor more Chinese people went into the lift and crushed me against the wall, so I had to go up with them again. This happened 4 times before I escaped from the lift by charging at them on the ground floor and getting through before they could push me in again archer (UK I have always found Chinese tourists to be well behaved in London. In fact foreign tourists in China behave much worse. Give Chinese tourists some credit, because they are not used to any culture accept their own dbgrizzzz (Us As I travel around the usual tourist areas in the Us(Kennedy Space Center Universal Studios, New York City, etc), I see and hear many tourists from around the world. Many foreign languages are spoken. I do notice recently a much larger num ber of Chinese tourists than in previous years, frequently in tourist groups. I think it is wonderful that the Chinese people are now enjoying travelling abroad But I noticed frequently, groups of Chinese(and some others as well) talking so loud, the speaker was very difficult to hear. I would turn and look at these groups, hoping it would be apparent that they were too loud and would quiet down. but to no avail
