Traveling Abroad

　　The above table clearly mirrors an upward trend in the number of people who prefer to travel abroad over the last decade. In 1995, there are only ten thousand tourists going overseas to take a trip. In 2000, the figure climbs to approximately 40 thousand, and peaks at 120 thousand in 2005.

　　There are a huge number of reasons behind this phenomenon, of which the most important one is --Chinas booming economy.

　　Thanks to the deepening of reform and opening-up, citizens of the Middle Kingdom enjoy a sharp improvement in their living standards. They have enormous consuming power to pursue higher level of living quality. Perhaps getting tired of visiting scenic spots at home, an increasing number of them choose foreign countries as their tour destinations.

　　When it comes to what impacts it would bring, in my eyes, it would give a huge boost to tour industry both at home and abroad. And it would give Chinese deeper insights into foreign cultures. Of course, the dark side of this phenomenon also exists. For instance, the uncivilized behavior of some Chinese tourists may have a negative impact on Chinas image. Anyway, overseas travel is beneficial. What really needs to occur is consumer education.

　　上面的圖表中明顯反映出在過(guò)去的十年內(nèi)選擇出國(guó)旅游的人數(shù)呈上升趨勢(shì)。在1995年，只有1萬(wàn)人出國(guó)旅行。在2000年，這一數(shù)字攀升到4萬(wàn)人，到2005年達(dá)到最多的12萬(wàn)人。

　　出現(xiàn)這種現(xiàn)象有很多原因，最重要的是日益騰飛的中國(guó)經(jīng)濟(jì)。

　　由于改革開(kāi)放，人們的生活水平有了明顯的提高。他們的消費(fèi)能力逐漸強(qiáng)大，有了追求高水平生活的資本。也許是厭煩了在國(guó)內(nèi)的景區(qū)旅行，更多人選擇海外旅行。

　　談到這將帶來(lái)的影響，我認(rèn)為這將大大促進(jìn)國(guó)內(nèi)及國(guó)外的旅游業(yè)。這將使中國(guó)人對(duì)國(guó)外的文化有更深的了解。當(dāng)然也存在一些不好的影響。例如一些中國(guó)游客的野蠻行為會(huì)破壞中國(guó)的形象。不管怎么說(shuō)出過(guò)旅行是有益的，真正需要做的是對(duì)出國(guó)者的教育。
