Grounding bad jetsetters

Authorities are considering policies to deny overseas-travel applications from Chinese tourists who act 'embarrassingly' abroad. Yang Feiyue reports.

Simply saying "tsk-tsk" seems insufficient. So authorities are considering grounding outbound Chinese travelers who do the travel don'ts. The hope is poo-pooing future trips by tourists who've committed no-nos overseas will encourage them to act maturely.

Shanghai, for one, plans to legislate punitive measures to curb "childish behaviors" by local tourists when they travel outside the country.
