In india tourism, safety is a problem, especially for women. Women's safety incidents in India are frequent: just in March this year, Irish female writers were raped and killed as soon as they arrived in Goa, India, and there were black bus cases that shocked the world, such as yesterday.
India was once considered as the most unsafe country for women. This is of course fueled by the media, but there is no smoke without fire, so many people are discouraged from this mysterious country.
In order to promote tourism, the Indian government recently launched tourism promotion activities in several cities in China. Minister india tourism publicly stated at the promotion activities: China (tourists) is our top priority now. In a few years, I want one percent of the outbound tourists from China, that is, 65.438+0.4 million people to go to india tourism; As a long-term goal, I want China 10% outbound tourists to come to India, that is, 654.38+0.4 million. There's nothing wrong with that. All for economic development. But what he said later was surprising. He said, "India is a very, very safe country for women, which is not a problem at all."
It's certainly a bit shattered glass. If there is no problem with safety, it will not be particularly emphasized. Of course, China netizens are not fools, they are all spitting. Some netizens cleverly commented: "Yes, the Ganges water is the cleanest in the world and can be directly drunk." Others replied: I dare not find a man, brother.
What do you think of Minister india tourism's remarks? Will you go to India again?
If you must go to India, please pay attention to the following points:
1, safety, from the highest life safety to social safety to property safety, my suggestion is that all flights, hotels and restaurants should try to choose places operated by non-Indians, such as British kingfisher for flights, and try not to choose Air India, and hotels are the same. International chain brand hotels should be chosen instead of Indian brands, and business hotels should be preferred with good security measures. The main safety hazard is traffic safety. Don't cross the road at will in India. Mumbai, Bangalore and Delhi have the most traffic accidents in the world. It takes a few minutes to run over a person. Indians are actually not very friendly to animals such as cows and horses on the road. They all blew their horns, and all kinds of vehicles ran wild in the street. My suggestion is that it is best to have a local car to pick up the car. Try not to go to remote places, and there is nothing to see.
2, health, this really goes without saying, even if it is a native of India, India is also the country with the highest incidence of dysentery in the world announced by WHO, drink water! According to what I said earlier, hotels must choose business hotels with international chain brands, because they can help you solve the drinking water problem. The free water provided by the hotel room should be enough for you to drink every day. If it is not enough, try to ask the hotel for water again, or you will have to return to China within three days. I won't say much about eating and drinking, but try to solve it in the hotel. There is nothing to experience about local food in India. I can tell you responsibly that they all taste the same. No matter mutton, chicken or fish, they are just seasonings, and there is no taste of any ingredients at all.
In terms of infrastructure, transportation has basically given you the concept. The road conditions are very bad. The local Tata cars are also in very bad condition. They often turn off the engine and then break down. It's not that locals can hardly drive their own cars. The local bus doesn't stop at the station, just slows down. You jump in the car yourself. The distance between the car and the ground is so high that people without some flying skills can't get on it. More importantly, India's urbanization started very late, and it began to be widely urbanized after about 2000. In the capital, Delhi, many places are not connected to the power grid, and there are frequent power outages. Mumbai is a relatively developed city, but there are few night scenes in the city. At night, it's dark everywhere except downtown. Even in the Marriott Hotel by the sea, you can only hear the sound of the waves and then disappear. So there is really no reason to go out at night, and there is no nightlife in the local area, so I sleep at night. It's just that there is still a two-hour time difference in China, so I can't sleep and play with my mobile phone in my room.
If you are a woman and say you want to go to India alone, I strongly object to your plan. India is a traditional male-dominated country with extreme male power. A large number of people have not accepted the universal values of the West. The status of women in this country is very low. Known as the "country of men", you can only live in a few civilized areas such as airports, star-rated hotels and high-end restaurants. Only in modern business centers and modern enterprises can you see Indian women who seem to live a life of universal values. They just look like they are wearing unconventional Indian saris or jeans and T-shirts. They are ordinary airport workers, interns at the front desk of hotels, or shop assistants selling goods in shopping malls, but any woman you see on the street who can come out to work is from the rich class without exception. Believe me, I can assure you of this 100%. Besides, you can't see any Indian women who go out to work (unless they are sex workers). They either take care of their children at home or go to farm. Yes, farming, you are not mistaken. All the people you can see who are engaged in decent work are either men from rich families or women from rich families, without exception. So you can see the patriarchy in India.
I know that India's ancient culture always attracts the yearning of many domestic young women in literature and art, but India is really not as beautiful as you think. If it is not for work, there is no reason to go to India. No food, no scenery. The streets are full of beggars and wild dogs. It seems that people and animals are in harmony. But in fact, everyone's face is full of sadness, and you rarely see Indians who don't frown.
