4.Body
(1) Introduce the global code of ethics for tourism
The understanding and promotion of the ethical values common to humanity, with an attitude of tolerance and respect for the diversity of religious, philosophical and moral beliefs, are both the foundation and the consequence of responsible tourism. Stakeholders in tourism development and tourists themselves should observe the social and cultural traditions and practices of all peoples, including those of minorities and indigenous peoples and to recognize their worth.T ourism activities
should be conducted in harmony with the attributes and traditions of the host regions and countries and in respect for their laws, practices and customs.
The host communities, on the one hand, and local professionals, on the other, should acquaint themselves with and respect the tourists who visit them and find out about their lifestyles, tastes and expectations. The education and training imparted to professionals contribute to a hospitable welcome.
It is the task of the public authorities to provide protection for tourists and visitors and their belongings. They must pay particular attention to the safety of foreign tourists owing to the particular vulnerability they may have. They should facilitate the introduction of specific means of information, prevention, security, insurance and assistance consistent with their needs. Any attacks, assaults, kidnappings or threats against tourists or workers in the tourism industry, as well as the willful destruction of tourism facilities of elements of cultural or natural heritage should be severely condemned and punished in accordance with their respective national laws.
When traveling, tourists and visitors should not commit any criminal act or any act considered criminal by the laws of the country visited and abstain from any conduct felt to be offensive or injurious by the local populations, or likely to damage the local environment. They should refrain from all trafficking in illicit drugs, arms, antiques, protected species and products and substances that are dangerous or prohibited by national regulations.
Tourists and visitors have the responsibility to acquaint themselves, even before their departure, with the characteristics of the countries they are preparing to visit. They must be aware of the health and security risks inherent in any travel outside their usual environment and behave in such a way as to minimize those risks.
(2) Teach some knowledge about customs
Clearing Customs
To avoid trouble，the immigration rules and customs regulations must be strictly observed.
Clear customs: A lot of countries have two channels：the green channel and the red channel．Some countries，like India，have three channels：the white channel，the green channel，and the red channel．
Red channel:
If you have more than the duty-free allowances or prohibited goods, you go through the red channel and declare them to a customs officer.
Green channel
If you otherwise have nothing to declare, you go straight through the green channel unless you are asked to stop by an officer．
5.Practical Exercises
Translate the following sentences into Chinese, paying special attention to the participles used.
(1) Tourism, the activity most frequently associated with rest and relaxation, sport
and access to culture and nature, should be planned and practiced as a privileged means of individual and collective fulfillment.
(2) Special attention should be paid to the specific problems of coastal areas and island territories.
(3) Tourism professionals should ensure that the contractual clauses proposed to their customers are readily understandable.
(4) In order to contribute to the cultural and spiritual fulfillment of tourists, tourism professionals should allow them to practice their religions during their travels.
(5) The specialized travel press should provide accurate and reliable information to the consumers of tourism services.
(6) Financial resources derived from visits to cultural sites, and monuments should, at least in part, be used for the upkeep, safeguard and development of this heritage.
