The explosion of mass tourism has allowed many people to visit new places without learning about the local culture or language. Many tourists only meet locals when cleaning hotel rooms. 16 months of closure because of the Covid-19 pandemic has caused the tourism industry to suffer. However, this huge industry that holds hundreds of millions of jobs is not going to collapse. It will return with the hope of changing in a sustainable direction, for the better, South China Morning Post identify. Karon Beach in Phuket (Thailand) is deserted on September 30, 2020. Photo: SCMP. Report of World Travel and Tourism Council in September 2020 identified four major changes in the future of tourism: travel demand, health and hygiene concerns, digitalization trends, and sustainability. In terms of demand, visitors will shift to prefer things that are familiar, predictable and reliable, which means local tourism is boosted. That will be evident in major countries with solid tourism foundations such as the US, European countries, Japan and China. International tourists will pay more attention to local characteristics instead of rushing to any place containing the combination of “blue sea, white sand, golden sunshine”. Airline packages will become obsolete. Health and hygiene concerns do not stop at temporary levels. Attending events, especially indoor and crowded ones, is challenging. The pandemic has made foreign travel dangerous, especially for developing countries with weak health infrastructures. The cumbersome administrative procedures to check visitors during the epidemic season will hinder this demand. The trend of digitalization in tourism will interfere and influence in two opposite directions. On the one hand, social networks will help plan trips without human contact and reduce dependence on travel agencies. On the other hand, the need for reliable sources of information can also strengthen the role of travel agencies. In addition, digitalization will also raise concerns about data privacy in international travel. Finally and most importantly, sustainability is effectively addressed. Mass tourism has caused great harm to the environment, “polluting” the experience and enjoyment of trips. The beaches of Bali (Indonesia) or Boracay (Philippines) are much less attractive when filled with plastic waste and untreated sewage. Crowding along the Great Wall at the Badaling section with thousands of other hikers or queuing to conquer Everest lowers the excitement of the experience. The Chinese crowd the Great Wall as fears of an epidemic fade. Photo: CNN. Business trips will be limited but more purposeful, as deep knowledge of foreign markets and different cultures remains key to the success of international businesses. This affects the airline industry, but it’s not bad news. In the future, the tourism industry will probably still hold 330 million jobs and serve 1.5 billion people a year or even more. However, visitors will pay more attention to the local environment and culture. Small groups of traveling friends will be formed to replace crowded groups like “broken bees”.

Jihyo has many times to go to the airport bare-faced As a result, in a group TWICE live stream Nayeon revealed that when she went to buy glasses, she saw a picture of Jihyo wearing glasses and bare-faced when she went to the airport. Jihyo herself also noticed that the store had a large picture of herself on it and begged the staff to change the picture. But unfortunately, at that time, Jihyo didn’t bring any pictures to replace the other one. Didn’t expect the bare-faced photo to turn into an eyewear ad Now, just thinking about a picture of her bare face hanging like an advertisement for a glass shop makes Jihyo feel embarrassed. Because she doesn’t want anyone who comes in here to see the moment she doesn’t have makeup properly, her hair or clothes are a bit shabby, not as neat as the official photo. Jihyo is so embarrassed because of this series of photos of herself However, netizen confirmed that this bare-faced version of Jihyo was very cute, not to mention that at that time Jihyo was still wearing a mask, so her face was not revealed. But surely after this incident, Jihyo will have to be more careful when appearing in front of the crowd.

Taken in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province in May 2021. With regard to Hanfu, what people discuss most nowadays is whether it looks good or not and whether it is actually not practical. First of all, let’s talk about whether it looks good or not. Personally, I think it’s pretty good. I have been to all parts of the country, and I have also seen various forms of Hanfu. Generally speaking, they are quite beautiful and gorgeous. As for practicality, there is indeed no convenience from modern clothing. However, it is not for you to wear Hanfu every day. It is quite necessary to wear it on important festivals. In fact, many ethnic groups in the world have kept their traditional costumes. For example, our neighbors Japan and South Korea, the Chinese culture that their ancients have learned, can be well preserved. Why can’t our orthodox Han people inherit it? Of course, in the past few years, both collectives and individuals have begun to actively promote Hanfu, so that people wearing Hanfu walking on the street will not be treated like monsters in the earlier years. The Xiangshan Film and Television City scenic spot located in Xinqiao Town, Xiangshan County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, spares no effort in promoting traditional Chinese culture and Hanfu. No, during May 1st this year, the scenic spot also organized a large-scale Guzheng performance. A team of more than 200 people composed mainly of children played the most beautiful notes with traditional Chinese musical instruments. It attracted the attention of many tourists and was also aroused on the Internet. The heated discussion has allowed countless people to appreciate the beauty of Chinese traditional culture. Although many children are now learning Western musical instruments, traditional Chinese musical instruments such as Guzheng are also favored by parents. A guzheng, put on a Hanfu, flicked and buckled, that calm and relaxed look, really gives people a sense of immortality. At least I like this feeling, what do you think? In each event, the Xiangshan Film and Television City scenic spot will launch a large-scale parade, and its theme is mostly based on Han costumes. For example, this year’s float parade restored the magnificent royal outing scene in ancient China. Especially the princess dressed in Hanfu, that was the focus of the whole team. There were many tourists watching everywhere in the team. Both men and women were attracted by the luxurious costumes and beautiful appearance, and they took out their mobile phones to take pictures. In addition, the scenic area also has a preferential ticket policy for tourists wearing Hanfu, so you can often see tourists wearing Hanfu in the scenic area. In fact, Xiangshan Film and Television City has a city that spans five thousand years of China. When you walk in it in Hanfu, there is no sense of disobedience. It even feels like you have traveled to ancient times. It is more enjoyable when you play. During the May 1st holiday this year, this kid was the one who left the deepest impression on me in the scenic spot. He is about five to six years old, dressed in a well-fitting Hanfu, with a bamboo basket on his back, and looks like an ancient person. The only regret is that he wore a pair of modern shoes. It is estimated that because of his age, his parents were afraid that he would occasionally wrestle with ancient shoes. To say that this costume, one stop in the scenic spot of tens of thousands of people, is definitely the most beautiful boy in the crowd, and it is the focus wherever he goes. The adults gave it a thumbs up, and the children cast envy eyes when they saw it. In fact, I should like the boy’s parents even more. If he can dress up his children with traditional Chinese costumes with such care, he is definitely a faithful inheritor of Chinese culture. I also hope that more parents can let their children inherit the traditional culture.

Online network evaluation provides people with a channel to immediately obtain the wisdom of the masses. In all online reviews of Amazon and Yelp, positive reviews account for the vast majority, but there are obvious differences in the nature of people’s behaviors towards these items. So how can we learn from the “ocean” of these positive online reviews Identify the truly valuable and successful projects? Can the popular “star ratings” be used as a reliable basis for predicting the success of their projects? Recently, the article Nature human behavior gave answers to these questions. This article is an overview of this paper.

The Jizhi Club has started recruiting, with a number of experts taking the lead to discuss issues in the social, economic and other fields from the interdisciplinary perspective of computing science and complex science. This article is written for members of the Reading Club. The book club lasts for 10-12 weeks and is held every Thursday night. See the end of the article for details.

Essay topic:

Mass-scale emotionality reveals human behaviour and marketplace success

Paper URL:

1. Extract user sentiment from the “massive” evaluations of online platforms

   At present, with the development of online crowdsourcing platforms on the Internet, the sale of goods or offline services will attach certain evaluation information to its online crowdsourcing platform, and the most common of these is the star-rating evaluation method. This allows potential consumers on its platform to obtain the most direct reference when choosing goods or services in the lowest cost way. But, is this the truth?Research and investigation have proved that these online rating systems have certain limitations: most of their online reviews are positive[1].For example, on Amazon.com, the average star rating is about 4.2 (out of 5), and far more than half of the reviews are 5-star ratings[2].Nearly half of Yelp reviews are 5-star reviews[3], And nearly 90% of Uber reviews may be 5 stars[4].

   The above situation will cause individuals to often face choices among many similar star-rated projects, especially considering that people will not even consider obtaining options with less than 3 stars. Therefore, the star rating itself may not be able to reliably predict the success of its project, and it cannot be used as a valid reference for the true value of the project. Highly concentrated positive evaluation will make it an invalid signal, so how can we obtain effective information from these massive positive evaluations? Professor Matthew D. Rocklage and his research team from the School of Management at the University of Massachusetts in the United States called this challenge of identifying success in a large number of positive reviews as a “massive” evaluation positivity problem. They first proved the universality of this “massive” positivity problem, and proposed that emotional commentary language can provide individuals with more meaningful references. They published this research result on Nature Human Behaviour under the title “Mass-scale emotionality reveals human behaviour and marketplace success”.

   They studied the issue of massive evaluation enthusiasm in four large-scale online evaluation cases, including movie box office revenue, Amazon book sales, followers of new brands in Super Bowl advertisements, and restaurant reservations on Yelp. Through research on four large-scale online information evaluation platforms, they proved that 80% to 100% of online star ratings are positive, and found that online star ratings are unreliable for predicting the behavior and success of a project Yes, that is, more and more positive reviews usually do not predict the success of their projects.but Emotional factors of evaluation text It can be used to predict the behavior of a project and its likelihood of success.This is because emotional language provides an indication for the individual himself that something particularly influential has happened[5，6], So they can be used as a particularly clear signal for individuals to understand their attitudes.This strong signal will in turn lead to a stronger attitude in memory[7], This is a generally accepted factor predicting the influence and persistence of attitudes.

   The four cases they studied are shown below:

2. Emotional factors predict movie box office

   The researchers obtained online reviews of all movies from 2005 to 2018 from Metacritic.com, and used the first 30 user reviews written for each movie to measure the movie’s star rating (0 to 10 stars) and online Emotional language analysis of the evaluation text. They found that the average star rating of a movie would significantly reduce the box office revenue of their movie. And when all movies are included—even those initially negatively rated—star ratings have no significant predictive effect on box office revenue.

   Then they added the average sentiment factor of the review text and the average text valence to the same model as a control. Star ratings are still an important negative predictor of movie box office revenue (see Figure 1 on the left). Most importantly, the emotional factor in the evaluation text is an important positive predictor of future box office revenue (see Figure 1 on the right).

   

   Figure 1. (Left) Predicting the relationship between movie box office revenue and its movie star rating; (Right) Predicting the relationship between movie box office revenue and the emotional factors in the movie review text

3. Book sales: text sentiment is more important than rating

   In the second case study, the researchers predicted the success of all books on Amazon.com from 1995 to 2015 (20 years of data). They again used the first 30 reviews of each book to index the book’s star rating (1-5 stars), text valence, and emotional factors in the text.

   The regression results of its average star rating are mixed. Star rating is a negative factor in predicting the number of book purchases. When books rated as negative are also included, positive star ratings have a significant predictive effect on purchases. However, the overall evidence here is mixed, because in one-third of the book types, star ratings are insignificant or negative predictors.

   When analyzing positively reviewed books, they predicted the book’s purchase volume based on the book’s average star rating and the sentimentality of the text. It found that the average star rating is a negative predictor of purchase, and the emotionality of the text is an important positive predictor. In addition to these effects, more positive emotional language in the first 30 reviews indicates more purchases, and this conclusion is expressed in 93% of the book types.

4. New brand followers in advertising: evaluation predicts fan growth

   In Case Study 3, the researchers examined whether the emotionality of real-time tweets for TV commercials can predict success and human behavior, that is, the increase in the number of new fans of the brand every day. For the 2016 and 2017 Super Bowls, they obtained all real-time tweets that occurred on the day of the Super Bowl, which mentioned the advertisements that were broadcast during the Super Bowl. There are 94 advertisements from 84 companies, and the total number of tweets about these advertisements is 187,206. Then, they used the evaluation dictionary to quantify the average valence and emotional expression of each business in the tweet.

   They found that the number of fans the company had accumulated before the Super Bowl could predict the number of fans they had accumulated after the Super Bowl, but the company’s star ratings on USA Today had no predictive effect on fans.

   Then, they added the text sentiment factor of each ad’s tweet as the main predictor, and added the average valence of the text as a control variable. It found that the star ratings of USA Today and the valence of tweets had no predictive effect on the number of new fans. However, the higher the degree of positive positivity of the textual emotional language of business tweets, the more Facebook fans the company will accumulate in the next two weeks.

5. Restaurant reservations: scores and emotions are both useful

   In Case Study 4, the researchers studied the success of restaurants and the number of reservations based on the top 30 Yelp.com reviews of all restaurants in Chicago, Illinois as of 2017. They use these reviews to index each restaurant’s average star rating (1 to 5 stars), text valence, and text sentimentality.

   This time, their research results are different from the previous three research cases. In terms of restaurant reservations, the average star rating can predict more table reservations. They then added the textual emotional factors of the first 30 reviews of the restaurant and their text valence to the regression model. The average star rating becomes insignificant (see Figure 2 on the left), and the valence of the text is a positive predictor. In addition to these effects, restaurants with more positive emotional language evaluations will get more meal reservations (see Figure 2 on the right).

6. “Massive” evaluation enthusiasm problem solutions

   Nowadays, the problem of “massive” evaluation enthusiasm in large-scale online evaluation information has become more and more common, and sometimes accompanied by businesses themselves in order to make their own products or services get better sales, so as to make good reviews. It will further cause the difficulty for mass consumers to identify effective signals. And emotional language evaluation can be the correct way to solve this problem. This calls for relevant third-party platform organizations to pay more attention to the emotional nature of personal attitudes. Platform managers can consider summarizing the language of reviewers and provide an “emotional star rating” to provide individuals with a more meaningful evaluation reference. The exploratory research that is effective in predicting and can replace star ratings will be reserved for researchers who are interested in this research question.

In the middle of the night on April 20, Tesla’s official Weibo issued a statement of apology, first of all apologizing for failing to solve the problem of the car owner in time. To this end, Tesla decided to set up a special handling team, dedicated to special handling, and strive to meet the demands of car owners and strive to satisfy car owners while complying with laws and regulations.Based on this experience, Tesla stated that it will work hard to learn lessons, carefully summarize it, and carry out strict self-examination and self-correction while cooperating with the investigations of relevant government departments. Issues and service procedures are established and rectified, and strive to achieve immediate inspections and reforms, immediate inspections and reforms, to respect consumers and respect the city So, what is the whole story of the “Tesla owner’s rights protection” incident? Let CNMO take everyone to review it. The story of Tesla’s rights defense In March, a female Tesla car in Henan was sitting on a Model 3 holding a speaker. The speaker played a recording of “Tesla Model 3 brake failed during the Spring Festival, causing a traffic accident, and a family of four nearly died.” The banner of “Tesla brake failure” attracted media attention. The owner said that during the Spring Festival, his father opened the switch when he saw a traffic light while driving a Tesla Model 3, but the vehicle did not slow down, causing two consecutive cars to rear-end until they hit the concrete barrier on the side of the road. Then the vehicle stopped. The accident caused the owner and his parents to be injured and hospitalized. Tesla owners defend their rights After the incident caused public opinion ferment, Tesla subsequently issued a statement saying that after reviewing and analyzing vehicle data and on-site photos, Tesla found that the vehicle was at a speed of 118.5km/h before depressing the brake pedal. During this period, the ABS worked normally, and the forward collision warning and automatic emergency braking functions were activated and worked. There was no abnormality in the vehicle braking system. At the same time, Tesla also stated that it is willing to mediate with the owner and advance third-party inspection fees. However, Ms. Che Chung did not accept mediation, nor did she approve the third party’s test results. She still asked for additional compensation for return and mental damage, medical expenses, lost work expenses, etc., and continued to use the speaker on the roof of the car to play recordings in a loop. Rights protection. More than a month later, Ms. Zhang returned to the public’s vision at the Shanghai Auto Show, proving that the dispute between the two parties has not been resolved. After the Shanghai Auto Show, Ms. Zhang was administratively detained by the police for five days. However, Ms. Zhang’s rights protection action has attracted great attention. The entire network is discussing the “Tesla owner rights protection” incident. Many central media and government public accounts have spoken out for this, criticizing Tesla’s service attitude by name. . “Unwilling” statement of apology In fact, after the “Tesla rights protection” incident at the Shanghai Auto Show, Tesla’s attitude was still extremely tough. On the day of the incident, Tesla’s official blog posted a long post stating that it is our attitude not to compromise on unreasonable demands. At the same time, Tao Lin, vice president of Tesla, said in an interview that “the recent negatives are all contributed by her.” “We have no way to compromise. It is a process that a new product development must go through.” “Our own research shows that 90 % Of customers are willing to choose Tesla again.” Even Tao Lin said in an interview that there may be a team behind Ms. Zhang. Tesla Model 3 Netizens are not surprised by such a tough statement. This is Tesla’s usual attitude towards similar incidents. However, this intensified incident caused a number of official media to speak intensively, naming and criticizing Tesla’s service attitude for being too poor and too high. Perhaps because of the unprecedented pressure of public opinion, Tesla changed its previous tough attitude in the middle of the night on the 20th and issued an “unwilling and unwilling” apology statement. Why is it “unwilling to be unwilling”? In this apology statement, Tesla stated that it respects and firmly obeys the decisions of relevant government departments, respects consumers, abides by laws and regulations, and resolutely actively cooperates with all investigations of relevant government departments. If it were not for so many official media comments and criticisms, Tesla’s attitude might still be as tough as usual. Even in the statement, the author saw Tesla’s “grief”. From the bottom of his heart, Tesla may still not think that it was his fault, but merely apologized under pressure from the government. Perhaps in Tesla’s mind, the stance of government departments is higher than the voice of consumers’ rights protection. “Never make mistakes” Tesla We have reported many news about Tesla. New energy smart cars are the development trend of the automotive industry, and Tesla, as an industry giant, is naturally of concern to everyone. Although Tesla’s global sales performance is very good, but there is also a lot of negative news about its vehicle safety. In Tesla’s multiple statements, we can most often see Tesla’s “throwing the pot” consumers, giving people a feeling that Tesla never makes mistakes. In January this year, in Taisheng Plaza, Linyi, Shandong, a Tesla lost control and crashed into the toilet of a shopping mall, hitting the washstand. The owner said that the vehicle lost control because it could not step on the brakes. However, Tesla said that due to the presence of water on the road in the incident, the vehicle was turning too fast and the road was slippery, which eventually caused the accident. Also in January of this year, the Smart Car Group reported on a car accident caused by a failure of the brakes of a Beijing Tesla. Tesla owner Ms. Chen questioned that the brakes could not be effectively braked within 19 meters at a speed of 20 yards, and that the brakes may have failed. However, Tesla said that this is not a brake failure and that the car has no problems. It may be that Ms. Chen did not apply the brakes hard enough. Xinhuanet commented on Tesla’s throw-away response Tesla has always been a dump user after facing reports of problems with its own cars. Previously, Tesla was forcibly recalled by regulatory authorities due to quality issues. However, in a letter to the U.S. Highway Traffic Safety Administration in October last year, Tesla stated that the recalled Tesla cars did not have quality problems. Although they did not agree with the views of the Chinese regulatory authorities, they did not want to avoid complicated procedures. , Tesla can only choose to actively recall. In addition to not believing that its own car has quality problems, Tesla also believes that it is the abuse of Chinese car owners that caused suspension problems. How to maintain the relationship between enterprises and users In the interactive relationship between Tesla and car owners, Tesla has always been in a state of supremacy, often ignoring the demands of consumers, and even has always believed that all problems are the problems of car owners, making many car owners angry. On the Internet, we can still see many netizens saying that there is a problem with their Tesla car, but it has not been resolved. In this “Tesla owner’s rights protection” incident, Tesla can be said to be “referred to by all means.” Whether it is netizens or the media, mainstream public opinion on the Internet is one-sided accusing Tesla of its arrogant attitude. As the saying goes, “Customers are God”, this does not mean to put customers in a high position in a low voice, but to pay attention to the demands and needs of users, work hard to solve the problems raised by customers, and find ways to improve their service attitude and Process. In this matter, Tesla discloses vehicle inspection data and driving data to customers and the public in accordance with regulations. Using facts can prove whether it is the problem of the vehicle or the problem of the owner. Rather than just saying that it’s all car owners’ problems, it won’t be recognized by the public, and it also makes people feel: this company is too arrogant.

“Then, the nurse in charge told me that that day India did not have a new hospital stay due to Covid-19. A surge of relief,” said Mr. Udwadia. Financial Times . Indian people and hospitals struggled because of Covid-19. Photo: Reuters. The joy is short-lived After 245 days of continuously fighting the epidemic, that moment brought rare happiness to Mr. Udwadia. He and his colleagues smiled with relief that across India, the number of new cases per day had fallen below 15,000. This encouraging sign also corresponds to the declining Covid-19 observed at the hospital at that time. But the joy is short: Summer welcomes India with a terrible April. The worrying numbers are constantly inching up. On April 26, India set a global record with 352,991 new cases within 24 hours. “On the hospital beds, the scene seems to have been cut from the ‘Hell’ part of poet Dante’s Divine Song,” Udwadia said. With the meager source of oxygen, long lines of patients fought for life with death. Meanwhile, echoing in space are calls for help. The patient’s expectation seems hopeless amid the indifference of the medical staff, who are also strained by the great pressure of the mission to save lives. In the warehouse, oxygen gradually runs out, while many essential pharmaceuticals are in short supply. Even patients in hospitals will not be able to hold out for long once the oxygen supply is depleted. In the black markets, oxygen cylinders are for sale for $ 670, eight times the usual level. Even so, the patients still buy in stock, preparing for the worst possible scenario. India struggled in the second wave of infections. Photo: Reuters. Mistakes All positive signs disappear after three months. In January, the Indian Minister of Health proudly declared: “India has stabilized the Covid chart”. This confidence cannot help India obscure a painful reality: The corona virus is besieging a country of 1.4 billion people. Instead of capitalizing on that precious time in January to ramp up vaccine deployment, secure oxygen supplies and tighten social gaps, India has allowed more localities to campaign for elections and 3, 5 million followers crowded along the banks of the Ganges River during the Kumbh Mela festival. “The virus is forgotten because we declare ourselves the winners,” Udwadia said. Then, as a matter of course, the second Covid-19 wave hit like a fierce tidal wave, making its own impact in 2020 just like a ripple of water. Many believe this wave is caused by the Indian variant B.1.617. This variant has two frightening mutations, the E484Q and the L452R. The lethality of the new variant causes nations to race to close their borders with India. The corona virus pushed the nation of billions of people into turmoil. Photo: Reuters. “As a doctor, I guarantee that the virus appears to be more contagious, has more serious fatalities and affects young people more often than before,” Udwadia said. Currently, patients between the ages of 26 and 44 account for about 40% of cases and nearly 10% of deaths in India. Meanwhile, the story of the vaccine still has its own questions. Instead of calling for 1.7 billion doses of vaccine stockpiling from trusted manufacturers, India has left it all for its “vaccine superpower” label. Early miscalculation now gives way to despair. Waiting for vaccinations crowded in Mumbai had only received an answer that most of the distribution sites were out of stock. Given the current situation (about 5% of India’s population is vaccinated), the coveted prospect of public immunity (when 70% of the population has viral antigens) will take at least another 700 days to be successful. realistic. ‘I lost my wife and children on the same day because of Covid-19’ Most hospitals in India are overcrowded, relatives miserable begging for beds and oxygen cylinders for patients. The furnaces were incinerated, many trucks carrying corpses lined up in long queues.

Specifically, Vung Tau beach is now full of people, many people who want to swim in the sea have to squeeze each other despite recommendations on prevention of disease COVID-19. Many “fire-room” hotels, cafes, restaurants and tourist services are quite crowded. Vung Tau beach April 30th Currently, although many localities have actively canceled festivals gathering people, the tourist destinations still attract many visitors from all over the world. Specifically, the traffic of Da Lat city was “stuck” in the evening of April 30. Vehicles circulating, moving slowly on the roads of the city center. The traffic jam persisted, many trips from Ho Chi Minh City to Da Lat took 3-4 hours more than the normal travel hours. Many netizens have also expressed concerns and concerns about this situation. Although tourism “flourishes” is a good thing, ensuring safety against epidemics should be the most priority at this time.

Outside the gates of schools, shops sell most foods of unknown origin, without packaging, labels … Even snacks are processed, sold on the roadside, located next to the mouth. sewer, close to the road to traffic, not covered, dusty … As soon as the drum goes out to play and after school resounds, these stores are operating at full capacity with all kinds of foods of unknown origin or even those that have been warned of unsanitary safety. food …. is still on sale at school gates. Taking a tour of schools in the inner districts of Hanoi, we were surprised that there were so many shops around the school gate area. In addition to stores selling toys, snacks to serve students, there are also trolleys, street vendors … The delicious and varied dishes that appeal to students of today such as: fried sausage, fried spring rolls, dried beef, fried banana cake, snack, ice cream … Packaged drinks with full color , smell. Snacks prices range from 5,000 to 10,000 VND. These foods are very much loved by the students. The raw materials for processing fried spring rolls, dried beef, chili sauce, fat, fried oil, … are of unknown origin, poor quality, expiry date only known by the seller. Oil and fat used for frying, used over and over again, has changed from white – yellow – clear, to dark. Metamorphosed oils and fats also produce a number of substances that are toxic to the body Many parents are quite easy to indulge in their children’s interests and needs. Many people have the habit of giving their children a small amount of change every day to buy food at the end of school, while waiting for parents to pick up or time off between classes, to eat temporarily to help hunger. students develop the habit of eating snacks, unsafe in front of the school gate and facing potential health risks. In fact, it is very difficult to handle food businesses in front of the school gate because they operate seasonal, not fixed, and are not subject to business registration. Therefore, when inspecting, the functional forces can only propagate, remind and confiscate and destroy the violated items, but cannot be sanctioned. With attractive flavors, diverse designs, and cheap prices, the rampant sold-out foods not only affect the health of young bamboo shoots but also pose a long-term danger in the real system. Products. Goods displayed at the school gate range from cakes, candies, snacks, bread, sausages to beverages such as milk tea, bottled water … In which, many products have no label, unknown origin. origin … Some foods such as sausages, shrimp rolls, bread … are baked, fried, sold on the roadside in rainy, sunny, dusty conditions … Recognizing the risk of losing food safety and hygiene, some parents are determined not to let their children buy food in front of the school gate. However, most parents do not remind and manage it thoroughly, so the use of food in front of the school gate still takes place. Street food is a problem that has not been completely resolved. A lot of warnings have been issued, but barely effective, and this worrying situation continues to happen every day.

For Sonia Philipse, the owner of a restaurant in Amsterdam, the absence of crowds makes her city more peaceful and beautiful than ever before. “At this point, we are looking forward to the return of tourists. But I think there was a time when people were really happy that the city was so quiet, ”Philipse said. Amsterdam’s red light district before and after the outbreak of Covid-19. Over the years, Amsterdam has tried to reconcile becoming a vibrant international hub without affecting residents’ lives and not ignoring the inherent freedom and popularity. Now, with the number of tourists still meager, the leaders of Amsterdam are trying to put new restrictions on three important issues: short-term renting, sex tourism and selling marijuana to traveler. This is all to ensure that the “ingrained” problems stemming from tourism no longer arise when tourists return. The above measures make the Netherlands one of the pioneering countries in Europe to adopt a practical approach to tourism management. However, even as many locals enjoy the peaceful Amsterdam atmosphere, some disagree with the city’s strategies. Need to change Complaints from the people of Amsterdam started to rise up in 2013, when tourism fully recovered from the 2008 financial crisis. Locals lament that tourists are noisy and disruptive in the city center, disrespecting prostitutes, short-term renting a house that drives up property prices and controlling some of the most beautiful, historic areas of the city. city. “The tourist economy does more damage to locals than adds value,” said Geerte Udo, director of Amsterdam & Partners, a nonprofit that manages city tourism. We need to change everything in the city center if we want to bring balance to life, employment and renewal. The boats were deserted in central Amsterdam on a recent evening. Prior to the pandemic, city leaders came up with a number of measures to try to minimize problems stemming from tourism, including a ban on guided tours to Red Light Street, banning visitors New hotels in the city center, increased tourism taxes, banned new shops serving tourists. Since 2014, Amsterdam has stopped promoting itself as a destination in new overseas markets. Instead, the city’s marketing department guided and managed all visitors to the city. However, even with those measures, tourism continues to grow. In 2019, articles criticized the surge in tourist arrivals in Amsterdam, Venice and Barcelona as prime examples of over-tourism in Europe. Sex, cannabis and “monoculture” Since the outbreak of the pandemic, leaders of Amsterdam, led by mayor Femke Halsema, have continued to push for tourism regulation, focusing on Red Light Street – the ancient area of ​​central Amsterdam and the magnet attracts tourists. On a typical Saturday night before, Red Light Street blows young men from bar to bar, be it entering sex shops, cafes or staring at the flower girl is showing off her figure by the window. In a letter to the city council in July 2019, Mayor Femke Halsema said: “The public spaces dominated by businesses are mostly rape, drugs and alcohol. The number of tourists is constantly increasing, depraved behavior, shrinking retail structure, rising property prices, commercialization of public spaces and crime control all require measures ” . In addition, Ms. Halsema proposed four scenarios for the future of sex work in Red Light Street (prostitution is legal and regulated in the Netherlands). One is the transfer of all sex workers to “prostitution hotels” elsewhere in the city. However, the proposal was not fully approved. An employee stood outside a cafe on the Red Light Street. Another interesting proposal from the mayor’s office would prevent visitors from buying marijuana at cafes in Amsterdam, which are concentrated in Red Light Street. Last summer, in the face of complaints, the city issued a complete ban on all short-term rental services in three downtown districts, including the Red Light Street. Victor Everhardt, the deputy mayor of Amsterdam, said the measures are in line with the practical Dutch approach to solving the problems. However, some of the proposed measures are also controversial. Irina, a spokesman for PROUD, a coalition of about 300 prostitutes across the Netherlands, said the idea of ​​moving prostitutes away from Red Light Street was widely opposed. “The problem is not with prostitutes. We have lived in one area for centuries. The problem is that the number of tourists coming to Amsterdam is booming. They come for many reasons, ”she said. Irina added that instead of focusing on prostitutes, the government should have more police on the streets, while at the same time increasing enforcement of current regulations against urination, drunkenness and public disorder. plus. “Prostitutes are being seen as scapegoats, along with cafes, for causing problems that they never did,” she said. Royal Palace on March 26. The square, which is bustling with tourists, has been deserted since the pandemic broke out. Similarly, the mayor’s recent proposal to ban cafes in Amsterdam from selling cannabis to tourists was also opposed. Historically, tourists and locals have frequented the city’s 167 licensed cafes to relax, socialize, play board games and smoke marijuana – classified for fish use. people in the Netherlands. Joachim Helms, cafe owner and spokesperson for the Association of Dutch Cannabis Retailers, said the proposed ban would force visitors to buy cannabis on the street. That could cause them to be taken advantage of, as well as damage the reputation of Amsterdam. Roy Van Kempen (31 years old), marketing director living in Amsterdam since 2008, said: “Paris has the Eiffel Tower. We have a Red Light District. I really didn’t want any disturbance in the city, ”he said. Irina, Helms, Van Kempen and many others in Amsterdam agree that the city center has a big problem: A “monoculture” tourism has taken root and residents are being pushed out. Businesses and services that used to serve locals (high-end bakeries, butcher shops …) have been replaced by jewelry shops, ice cream parlors and take-away waffles … mainly aimed at tourists. Meanwhile, rising housing prices (partly due to the development of Airbnb and other rental platforms) have left many locals unable to afford to stay in the city center. “This monoculture issue has come to the fore in the past year,” said Geerte Udo, adding that she was influenced by the feeling of desolation in the city center during the pandemic. , especially compared to other areas of Amsterdam. “This really opened my eyes. There are not enough people living and working in the city center to regain the liveliness when tourists are gone, ”said Udo.

Images of hundreds of people without masks crowded together at Santa Monica pier and watching street performances on Venice’s walkway have raised fears that California spring break could go out of control. This case happened in the city of Miami Beach, Florida. On March 20, Mr. Dan Gelber, mayor of Miami Beach, declared a state of emergency because of the huge wave of tourists flocking here. After more than a year spending more time at home than on the street, many people are eager to party in the sun when summer comes. However, wearing a mask and exercising social distance makes the fun even more fading. Covid-19 vaccination is underway as planned. According to the The Guardian about 50% of adults in the City of Los Angeles have received at least one shot. However, local health authorities warn that it is too early for the public to lose their guard. Barbara Ferrer, Los Angeles’ public health director, advises people during this time not to rush to travel and gather large numbers of people. However, some leaders want to lift pandemic restrictions to restart the economy as soon as possible. Many people flock to famous places in California. Photo: The Guardian. Several theme parks reopened this week. Outdoor bars and bowling alley will be allowed to resume operations in Los Angeles on April 5. “Every indicator we are monitoring locally is on the right track. Everything is very good, ”Eric Garcetti, mayor of Los Angeles, said during a press conference on 29/3. In it he just mentioned briefly about the things that need to be done for spring break. With the current situation, Rochelle Walensky, director of the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), has a contrary opinion with Mr. Garcetti. New infections are on the rise again, she said. The country is in danger of losing its advantage in the fight against the Covid-19 epidemic when a new variant of the SARS-CoV-2 virus spreads rapidly. Over the weekend, 100,000 people visited the famous pier in Santa Monica without any anti-epidemic measures. Santa Monica city leaders are planning to limit the number of people on the pier by not accepting visitors before 3 hours of closing. They also run the program “Health Ambassadors”, recruiting people to remind visitors to wear masks.

“People will carefully celebrate Songkran at home,” Thai Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha announced on April 6. He asserted that the regulations of a state of emergency still apply in response to the Covid-19 epidemic. All provincial governors are allowed to enact more stringent anti-epidemic measures if necessary. So, one year from now, the streets of Thailand will be free from laughing crowds, water gun fights from locals and tourists. Thailand attracts thousands of foreign visitors each year thanks to the Songkran water festival. Photo: Reuters. Songkran Festival usually starts on April 13 every year and takes place for 2 days. This year, the Thai government approved an additional day off on April 12 to give Thais a week-long vacation, to encourage people to travel, boosting the economy. However, the back outbreak of the epidemic destroyed the opportunity to revive the economy of the Golden Temple during the festival. Economic impact The Tourism Authority of Thailand predicts a rebound of the disease could cause tourists to reduce spending during the Songkran festival by 2.4 billion baht ($ 75 million). Many tourists have canceled their schedule to Thailand and checked out the hotel. “About 20% of the number of pre-booked rooms in major cities like Phuket, Pattaya and Hua Hin has been canceled,” said Pisoot Saekool, president of the Thai Hotel Association. The Thai Hotel Association and the Tourism Authority expect tourist spending on Songkran to drop to 9.6 billion baht, down from an earlier prediction of around 12 billion baht. Although more than 300,000 Thai people have been vaccinated with Covid-19, outbreaks are still popping up in Bangkok and can spread across the country during the Songkran holiday as many return home. As of April 7, Thailand had a total of 29,905 Covid-19 cases. Of which, 28,069 people recovered, 95 died. Many pubs and restaurants in big cities have to close temporarily to maintain social distance. This year, Khao San Road, a famous place to attract foreign visitors during the water splash festival, will no longer have crowds playing around, splashing water on each other. Photo: Akira Kodaka. At the upcoming festival, the Thai Covid-19 Situation Management Center (CCSA) only allows traditional activities such as pouring perfume on a Buddha statue. However, this operation should also be carried out at a distance of at least 1.5 m. With no public events and celebrations left, spending by locals on Songkran is also expected to drop significantly. A poll conducted by the Thai Chamber of Commerce University shows that this year’s Songkran will be less noisy as more Thais plan to stay at home. Holiday spending is expected to fall below 100 billion baht ($ 3.1 billion). This figure is still better than the Songkran festival in 2020, but much lower than the annual average of more than 135 billion baht. Khao San Road, a popular place to attract foreign visitors during the water festival, is also said to be very quiet as no public events are allowed, meaning the sales are bleak. business in this area. Sa-nga Ruangwattanakul, president of the Khao San Road Business Association, said the number of tourists is expected to plummet this year as fun activities such as splashing water and powder on each other are prohibited. “Before the Covid-19 pandemic, our revenue during the Songkran season was about 100 million baht per day. This year, however, I think it was only about 10 million baht,” Ruangwattanakul said.

The first party was at Amsterdam’s Vondelpark – a green space with a stunning view in the Dutch capital. Hundreds of people celebrate the warm spring days of February together. “This gathering is illegal but we still participate. They couldn’t make us stay at home. We’re bored, ”one woman told Dutch TV. Crowds attend the Field Lab’s concert in early March. Photo: CNN. Video recorded by a local television channel in Amsterdam showed the excitement of young people present at Vondelpark. One guest in attendance stated that they were “fed up” with the epidemic prevention rules. After that, the police arrived and dispersed this crowd. The mayor decided to close all entrances to the park, except for the two gates, so that everyone could come here. The second gathering took place only a few kilometers away at the Ziggo Dome theater. Hundreds of people showed up to enjoy the songs that folk singer André Hazes, Jr. Shows. But this time, the police did not show up. The concert is approved by the Dutch government, not limited to a maximum of 30 people in the enclosed space. Audiences were tested negative for Covid-19 for no more than 48 hours prior to the concert. They also wear electronic bracelets for easy tracing. The concert is essentially part of a test backed by the Dutch government to see if the event planning industry can stand its ground amid a slow rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination. CNN . Vivian Nagelkerke (26), who went to the concert with a friend, said: “It’s like a dream where everything is allowed. I felt lightheaded to go back to the theater. Before the pandemic, I attended 3 concerts a week ”. The attendees have their temperature measured and must have a Covid-19 test paper no more than 48 hours before entering The Ziggo Dome theater. Photo: Ferdy Damman / AFP. Fun mouse experiment Eight mass gatherings took place in March as a result of months-long negotiations between the Dutch government and Field Lab – a group of researchers. They held a series of events, from dance festivals, seat concerts to soccer matches, to study the behavior of attendees, while also monitoring any possible infections. happening. “So far, the ‘lab rats’ (referring to event participants) are very happy to be involved in the study,” said Andreas Voss, professor of infection control at Radboud University, laughing. Although no exact results have been released yet, Voss said by comparing data from concert attendees to national population data, the team believes attending an event can help. strict management with the early Covid-19 test is no more risky than daily life in the Netherlands. “To date, the risk has been mostly lower than in untested cases, out of the event. We are sure to have promising results, ”he said. The Dutch Minister of Health agrees. In early March, he called the Field Lab’s initial discovery “truly encouraging”. Cheerful, happy crowd attending the concert after such a long time. Photo: Ferdy Damman / AFP. Of course, there is still a risk not only for those who have attended the events, but also to whom they subsequently come into contact with. Therefore, the organizers asked the attendees to limit their contact with anyone in the vulnerable group, and to test Covid-19 5 days after the end of the event. Field Lab reported that to date, only 5 out of 6,000 people who have attended public events they organize are positive for Covid-19. However, they are not sure if the cases were transmitted from the Field Lab event. Emily Denissen “felt flustered” to attend public events. Photo: NVCC. Emily Denissen, who celebrated her 32nd birthday at one of Field Lab’s concerts, happily recounted: “What happened that night was amazing. Everyone to relax, enjoy their best ”. Part of the story “let loose” means forgetting about the epidemic room rules for the audience. Once they have consumed alcohol, many people take off their masks and forget about social distance. However, that was not too surprising, nor was it bad. “We are not influencing them in any way,” said Professor Voss. We also do not prompt to follow the rules, because we want to know what will happen in real-life events. “It is true that during music festivals masks are removed more quickly,” he said. Meanwhile, at auditorium events, business conferences and soccer matches, more than 94% of attendees maintained wearing masks. Despite being the subject of research, Niels Fekken (21 years old) can not hide the happiness of attending a concert after more than a year at home due to the pandemic. “I can barely describe it with words. Unbelievable. From last year until now, maybe this is the first time I feel so happy, “Fekken shared with CNN .

Food Street Ho Thi Ky is one of the famous dining areas in Ho Chi Minh City. In recent times, this place has even been known as “a paradise for food devotees”, a favorite destination for every weekend of Saigon youth after appearing in many introductions and reviews. on social networks. From 16:00, the roads and alleys inside the food court were full of people and cars. At intersections, vehicles must keep honking for directions, pedestrians must move step by step. The crowded, bustling lasted until 22:00. Although crowded and cramped, the neighborhood still attracts customers, especially young people, thanks to its diverse cuisine, affordable price for students. Many young people also said that the busyness created the bustling atmosphere, showing the true rhythm of life and spirit of the Saigon people. When she first came to Ho Thi Ky food court with a close association of friends, Chi Mai (18 years old) was surprised because it was even more crowded than I imagined. “I knew this place through online reviews but I did not expect it to be this crowded. Everywhere we see people, we have just gone a round, have not chosen to buy anything but feel quite tired”. At high-end restaurants, customers have to wait in long lines, wait 10-15 minutes before they can order. Meanwhile, some other places give out coupons and pens for customers to order while they wait. On the road less than 500 m long, there are more than 100 rows of food. Restaurants grow close to each other, so many restaurants have to hang signs asking customers to line up, not to jostle and stand neatly so as not to obscure the nearby restaurants. Ms. Hang (63 years old), owner of a smoothie shop at the night market of Ho Thi Ky, said the food court has just been opened for a few years and is getting more and more crowded. On weekends the number of visitors may be twice as much as normal days. From 17:00 to 22:00, the buyers overwhelmed the shop owners, making the shop owners unable to work, and had to call their family members to support. Regularly visiting the market every weekend with friends, Minh Thu (17 years old, Tan Binh district) is quite familiar with the shops here and carries a lot of “tips”. “We usually go in groups of 5-8 people so we split up to buy different shops to save time. For each shop, we only buy 1-2 servings to try many dishes and not get fed up quickly. Because the market is quite crowded, people also have to pay attention to preserving personal property, preventing pickpocketing and theft, “said Thu. Food in the market is plentiful, from playing dishes, appetizers to filling, desserts of many countries: Japan, Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, China … All kinds of food and drinks are also bring the taste of many different provinces such as Hanoi, Hue, An Giang, Dong Nai. The price ranges from 15,000-85,000 VND / piece. The crowded market, narrow, so the location for customers to eat on the spot is also quite limited. Some shops clean the furniture in the house, while others take advantage of the sidewalk, some vacant land. Many shops lack seats for customers to sit on, only sell to buyers to take away.

April 13, the first day of the month Ramadan For Muslims, Mecca (Saudi Arabia) has opened its doors to pilgrims – a far cry from what happened last year. It is a place that usually welcomes millions of Muslims to go to Mass each year on the occasion of Ramadan, but Mecca was shut down last year when the new outbreak of COVID-19 emerged and broke out. This year, Saudi officials have allowed people to go on pilgrimages, on the condition that strict regulations on disease prevention are followed. Accordingly, only those who are “immune” to COVID-19 are allowed to go to church – those who have had 2 doses of the vaccine, those who have received 1 dose of vaccine at least 14 days before going to church or those who are sick. and gone. Those who go to Mass must wear masks and keep their distance from those around them. Therefore, the spectacle of the lines of people crowded into the ceremony like a few years ago has disappeared. Ramadan is one of the 5 most important holidays for Muslims, starting from September on the Islamic calendar. During the month of Ramadan, Muslims will not eat or drink from sunrise until sunset and will gather with family or relatives in the evening to “go away”. It is still unclear whether Saudi officials will continue to keep the opening of Mecca until the holidays pilgrimage Haj in the middle of this year or not. Last year, Mecca also had to limit people to go to Mass on this occasion to control disease. Muslims go to Mass during the epidemic season. (Photo: SPA / Reuters)
