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去的十年內選擇出國旅游的人數呈上升趨勢。在1995年，只有1萬人出國旅行。在2000年，這一數字攀升到4萬人，到2005年達到最多的12萬人。

　　出現這種現象有很多原因，最重要的是日益騰飛的中國經濟。

　　由于改革開放，人們的生活水平有了明顯的提高。他們的消費能力逐漸強大，有了追求高水平生活的資本。也許是厭煩了在國內的景區旅行，更多人選擇海外旅行。

　　談到這將帶來的影響，我認為這將大大促進國內及國外的旅游業。這將使中國人對國外的文化有更深的了解。當然也存在一些不好的影響。例如一些中國游客的野蠻行為會破壞中國的形象。不管怎么說出過旅行是有益的，真正需要做的是對出國者的教育。
