Recently, there has been much discussion about travel safety in Thailand, a popular tourist destination for Chinese visitors. It is reported that many Chinese visitors have canceled their travel plans to Thailand due to safety worries.

The Thai embassy in China clarified in response to the worries that the Thai government will take appropriate precautions to safeguard foreign tourists. The Chinese embassy in Thailand declared that it will maintain constant communication with Thai authorities and make every effort to protect Chinese citizens' safety as well as their legal rights and interests. That does not appear to have entirely allayed the safety worries of some Chinese tourists, though.

Some of them postponed their planned vacations to Thailand because of the rising security dangers faced by Chinese nationals abroad. Unfortunately, a lot of people are also easily duped by information concerning safety situations in tourist areas that circulates on the internet.

Because of this, it is now more crucial than ever to preserve their personal, property, and informational security.

First and foremost, it's important to give them unrestricted knowledge and frequent risk reminders. Relevant parties should improve personal outbound tourism safety education and promptly distribute safety advice so that visitors are led to make informed travel plans and equipment selections. China should strengthen its partnership with foreign tourist destinations in the area of tourism security. Chinese tourists visiting Myanmar will be safer thanks to recent negotiations between China and Myanmar about tightening up enforcement against illegal cross-border criminal activities like online gambling and fraud.

Chinese tourism authorities should also conduct industry advice and oversight, work with foreign tourist locations, and assess the ability of local internet travel businesses, platforms, and agencies to guarantee travel safety and promptly detect subpar self-service travel products. To cover the entire process of outbound tourism and enhance outbound visitors' security, advanced technologies like big data, artificial intelligence, 5G, and virtual reality can also be used.
