Tourism Arrival Video That Destinations Secretly Want You to Watch
Vložit

- Tourists Behaving Badly is an all-too-common theme in destinations around the world. No airline or destination would ever show you a video like this... but, it does get the point across.
The industry does need to find a way to get tourists and travelers to behave better. There are several ways of going about it, from fines to signage to clever experience design to behaviour pledges.
As someone that has worked in the tourism industry for the past 10 years, Russians and Chinese please watch this where ever you go. Every single time.
As a 20 year veteran of the hotel and travel industry - this nails it. "Don't be a dick". That's all it takes. And I LOVED the "Don't take out your shitty childhood on our waiters, and hotel staff..." The guys who get into fights with their wives on the drive in, then take it out on me when I checked them in early.
Allright. Only two videos I´ve watched, but I already know; This is genious. Woderful stuff
Quite remarkable
The way content should be ✊🏾
And please if you are not sure how something is done in x country, just observe the locals or ask. You are not stupid for not knowing but you are stupid for not being considerate.
👏
There is a proverb saying "he who asks will be stupid for five minutes, he who won't will be stupid his whole life"
This video (or something more specific to the destination) needs to be shown on monitors while waiting for luggage.
i wish i could like this twice :P
No.3 - “don’t take your shitty life problems out on people in the service industry” - this shouldn’t just apply to when you visit a place, it should be a life rule
agree!
How about "don't take your shitty life problems out on anyone except _maybe_ the individuals directly responsible for it, or the ones explicitly offering to help you with it"? 🙃
I absolutely love traveling to foreign countries (and being in airports and flying in general). Before I go anywhere, I try to make sure I learn a few phrases in the local language (a little goes a looonnng way), as the local customs. And laws. That last one is important. Oh, and don't lose you temper (read: shit) anywhere, especially not in airports or with cops. Be safe and enjoy :D
Exactly, how hard can it be to just learn some basic do's and dont's? This kind of information these days, is usually readily available and easily found on the internet. And everyone has (or can have) access, especially at the airports. Especially in countries where the natives are of a different race, you as a foreigner already stand out. You don't want to stand out even more by being weird because you don't know that (for example) eating and walking at the same time is considered not-done.
Depending on the country, learning a little of the language can result in anything from extra-pleased locals to giving you the ability to be marginally functional in communicating. So definitely worth doing.
I'm from New Orleans and I worked in the French Quarter most of my life and boy do I appreciate this video. God bless you Sir
Living in Oxford tourist's really need to listen to this. Like not the stuff about flights and the beaches but the stuff about what not to do in the city and there's other stuff to do with trains etc that people need to listen to
ESPECIALLY THE CORALS PLEASE! They take so long to grow and locals DONT want you ruining them
I told some Bridge and Toll peeps to pick up their beers bottles....One was literally pissing on the house up the street from mine, as I walked my dog.
He wanted to know if the house he peed on was mine. I said it was, and for him to pick up the glass beer bottle he left. His female friends where laughing, as he and his mate drove off.
Me? I wondered if his selfish arse would find me pissing on his place, and dropping litter, so funny.
Please treat the people you meet, as you would wish to be treated; at least. This world is not ours, so we need to respect that it came from before us, and hopefully we can finally make it a better place to give forward.
I feel like this doesn't so much apply to tourist destinations, so much as basically just.. the world
As an Alaskan, I can relate. The amount of people that ask if they can pet a moose 🤦🏼♀️
Matthew Gagnier sure, go ahead. A story about a tourist getting stomped by a moose might be entertaining.
EVERY AMERICAN NEEDS TO WATCH THIS BEFORE GOING ABROAD!!!!! I cant tell you how many times, in how many different countries I have witnessed Americans ignorantly wander into a city like it was their back garden and disrupt the local way of being
You literally just described how America was founded…
Roller suitcase over cobble stones got me lol🤣
As a Londoner, this hits hard... Please be considerate when you’re a tourist! And one more thing, please don’t use the Tube (metro/subway/etc.) in the rush hour, especially if you’ve got three bulky suitcases. It’s already cramped enough as it is, and bear in mind most Londoners get very little or no benefit from tourism!
Sadly, if it didn't cost a bajillion pounds to get into central London via Taxi, more people might actually avoid crowding the tube with their bulky suitcases...
@@kamatmehbro hahahahha, true.
SS Moquette
Well, your country stole trillions of dollars of wealth from other countries during your 'colonial era'. I'm sure there's enough money for all Brits, Londoners and non-Londoners, mate. :P
You know what's worse than a suitcase? A backpack.
When standing in the metro, take off your fucking backpack and place it on your feet, because otherwise you WILL hit someone in the face with it, or at least be an annoyance to others who also have to stand.
@@kamatmehbro If you're a foreign guest, you're probably on your holiday. So you can just sleep in and avoid the rush hours alltogether.
I don't know why I was recommended your videos, but I'm glad I was. This stuff is great!
Hey how about honest hunters safety for the upcoming deer seasons in the midwest.
Example: where orange clothes because a lot of guys hunt without thier glasses and will probably shoot your ass if you're wearing dark clothing.
YEAH! Any kind of hunting needs a good safety video. Wear a bright vest and don't pretend to be a cryptid hiding in the forest.
great video, really hope that someday destinations and plane companies team up and show videos like this, as well as the implementation of all of the other ways you mentioned in an earlier video to stop tourists from destroying local areas
(also really liked the mention of lovelocks, why do people even buy those things anyway?)
Another great video, it reminds me of some of the great Icelandic material I've seen. Iceland have a great pledge for tourists and rules to follow when visiting - its honest and funny which I think helps make it effective for visitors to adhere to.
Me watching this on a flight returning home: HELL YEAH!!!
Great! Nice and thoughtful! I watched a couple of them! Congratulations!
I agree buddy. What you say is the best possible case scenario or ... the perfect boy/girl mamma wants you to be in society so she is proud of you. The thing is: people behave based on how their emotions were treated during their upbringing. The people you are addressing this to is the most traumatized of all. And the bad news... Most of humanity is trauma-tized. How I know this ? it's my area of expertise. Changing the world of behavior does not arise from "what to do" on the superficial level, as said on a sign... It comes from having the most happy roots possible. Traumatized people can't behave (believe me I know), or... they can ... sometimes for a while restrain themselves ... like if you put a cap on a volcano... after a short while... emotions erupt and the behavior peaks even worse in the next possible chance to manifest. Don't get me wrong: I love your humor. You are a smart man, with a lot of experience in dealing with people on the behavioral level. The thing is what lies underneath... this is what really makes it so difficult to change this just by stating "the obvious". What's not so obvious is what pulls the strings... (this is not comfortable to recognize, to see that the world is emotinally damaged and we can't do much about it in the short term ...). For example we all would like to have honest politicians... or comprenhensive partners ... But we sort of get the honesty of childhood emotions that did not had the chance to be fully spontaneous ... (or at least taught with love) this derives in : neurotic or psychotic adults, with different levels of anxiety, or unhappyness... (insomnia, depression, the list is so long... ).This frustration needs expression... (it's energy that needs to come out, whether we like it or not... ) and it does every chance it gets... No one in particular is to blame. Society has become very complex and most of the people do not get a nice slice of the pie... Respect comes from love: when the love you have for yourself is the same you have for others. This is most of the times not the case. People don't even treat themselves lovingly (it's easy to derive that they won't treat others much better). Have you seen the movie "the gods must be crazy" ? This is an example of a simple society where respect does not even need to be reinforced :-)
Yes, there are people that fall into that cateogory. There are also people that block the sidewalks, wear disrespectfully inappropriate clothing, make noise and wake people up early in the morning, litter, etc. for another reason. They're spoiled rotten and flat out don't care how their actions affect other people. It's not everyone, but it's plenty.
Flawless and Good!
Loved it. Fun, funny and true !
This is a great vdo.
The stairs problem is in Italy at least due to missing benches, because they want tourists to sit in expensive bars and restaurants. And fine them when sitting on the stairs. Meaning that it was the last time they ever came to visit us.
id literally be happy to take the ticket and act all apologetic then just leave the country when my trip was over without paying it
Why don't you gave benches? Aside from the fact that you want people to sit in tourist trap restaurants and bars, that is?
@@lunayen Only because of filling overpriced bars. For no other reason.
Love your videos
This is great stuff. :D
1. Not all of us are as good at English as you are. If we don't understand you, try using different or simpler words. It's not a sign of stupidity, it's a sign you want to communicate. Language is hard enough as it is, let's try to make the best of it. And while you're at it, learn some basic words on our native language. Things like hello, thank you, excuse me. It shows you're willing to understand us as much as we are willing to understand you.
I Love It!

Well put. Love your content.
Glad you enjoy it!
Even though some locals don't benefit from tourists directly, they enjoy huge state and local budgets, superb infrastructure and the quality of life.
I lived in a tourist own for seven years and was treated like an outsider the entire time. Everything was more expensive and residents didn't get a discount. I have to disagree with your statement....

"When your a man, anywhere is your bathroom" isn't right. When your a man you have extra bathroom places, sure. (Trees, bushes etc.) but those "extra" places are usually ones nature intends. Would you really do your business on stairs where people would walk and touch or a log in the woods where noone can even see? Sure if you wanna save your pants and there's no bathroom anywhere, you have an excuse to find somewhere else, but there are some questions to ask yourself first. And what you do alters cases.
Have you seen most men? They'd have no problem pissing in stairwells, in elevators, in busses and trains, on someone's porch or in someone's backyard if they feel the urge to, 'cause to them, they have the right to pee everywhere. They'll even pee on your leg if that was allowed.
absolute putrage that this isnt shown in flight to the tourists. Many dont even know and would respect the rules if they werent unspoken.
Ok now how about one from the tourists to the locals about not treating people like interlopers and intruders.... Things go both ways....
"we have a high expectations ..."
at least we go home again.
Great videos keep it up!
Thanks, will do!
Wow first time this happened
Imagine if this was a return flight.
Living in a very very touristy destination I kinda feel it especially as I'm coming home. After a long flight I just wanna quickly get on the train back to my place and chill. There's never as many people being dicks as we maybe imagine though, it's always a few that ruin it for everyone.
OK, I promise. However I have a favor to ask the locals. 1) Don't price gouge me (e.g., $12 for a watered down soft drink); 2) Don't disparage me or my country (e.g., you're country starts so many wars), 3) Don't talk sh*t about me in your language (which you think I don't speak); 4) treat me with respect , unless I've done something to lose it. You may not work in a tourism related industry but I guarantee you do benefit from it one way or another; 5) remember, unless you were born there, you were a tourist at one time as well.

Greetings from germany :D :P
As a lifelong traveller I can say with some confidence that Germans are generally the best tourists. :-)
1:39 I wonder how many of the people who do that come from places where that's the norm, New York City comes to mind, or if they just have a brainrot that causes them to forget even their own norms when they're x distance away from their homeland.
This should be directed solely at Americans.
Bru
In America mostly anything goes and I mean mostly as within the laws as a tourist.
Just be a good guest. It should be that simple, but the way it has to be spelled out makes me think that “bad apples” are becoming more common….but I know that they can ripen into good fruit
It takes ZERO EFFORT to be a decent human being, you quite literally have to go out of your way to be inconsiderate and disrespectful
Visit America, before America visits *You* .
As a balinese i very much relate to these
While we do get nice people, we actually more often got assholes.
And somehow, in my little experiences of working in tourism, i met so many people who are karen.
But don't worry, even if you kill someone or sell drug here your country will still try to protect you, our government might let you go, or my boss will be mad at me instead even though you are at fault. So don't worry
@wargent99 please go and tell that to the government
I have once wrote a 100 page article about how bali should not do mass tourism, instead we should do exclusive tourism.
But the government have believe and practice mass tourism for so long, it is very hard to change stance now.
Already too much cheap hotels. Too much people working under those hotels
I’m from Costa Rica, the capital is name San José. Tourist do not urinate our streets, WE do. Not rare to see women teaching their children how to urinate on the streets. Some of us have 2 “wallets” one for us and the other one for the armed thief who is gonna rob us today. Prostitution is legal and many of those women are desperate college students. Most cops can be easily bribed. If you are a very wealthy tourist, you gonna have fun here. Come visit us! We have wild life too though.
1:14 damn, i know this place. Im an indonesian
btw i've noticed that chinese tourist's used to be in your face with camera's! NOW i've noticed that they are really shy about doing it as if they don't WANT to be noticed
as someone who live in the most tourists crowded city in the country, i wish that tourists behave like in the vid
its anoying to see people jogging on the side walk and almost bump in to you or orhers, but more anoyingly tourist who block the whole side walk to take a photo of the lake and for the whole 5km area around the lake and block the way to get around there are services for you people to take photos on the lake
What's the deal with all the padlocks??
There’s a special place in hell for people who think the rules don’t apply to them just because they’re on vacation.
How many subscribers do u have it says nothing
God I hate those love locks. Anyone caught doing that should be chained to the same lock for a week. See how they like it.
I thought public urination is a Chinese trademark.
polskaaaaaa, biało czerwoniiiii
And now, to this really good advice to tourists, how about adding a COVID19 announcement-wash your hands, always wear a mask, respect the limitations the host country asks you to.
That way you and others will go home as healthy as when you came.
The politeness thing is a big one for me I live in Texas and a common problem I've noticed, especially with northeastern visitors, is that they often bash Texas and go on and on about why their city/state is so far superior to us. How they think Texans and Southerners in general are stupid. Even if folks do think that, they should at least have basic manners.
What's even worse - when they move to your state to become a permanent resident - and then proceed to mouth off in the same manner - and then try to change your state into the same craphole that they came from.
🤣😂🤣 I see how this can be funny to someone....
many places, in the world they pee, just about anywhere....
This video is like deodorant. Those who need it won't use it.
Common denominator = increased population
The point is of course completely valid, as a guest tourists should behave properly. Yet many locals are hardly better if I look at my local pub street.
I have however a problem with the claim that tourists fill up the best restaurants and bars? Few tourists go beyond the overpriced crappy restaurants in the tourist district. And extra restaurants do pop up if demand is there, in many places this results in a more varied restaurant scene that also benefits the locals. And though it's certainly true that most locals don't make any money directly from tourists, those tourists do stimulate the local economy which pretty much helps everyone. There is a reason so many countries do promote themselves as a tourist destination. You can of course debate whether the economic benefits are sufficient to compensate for the bad.
That can depend on the place. You are correct that they often fill up the "touristy" places first. But they do contribute many bookings to top-end places as well. And one could make the case that many of the best spots got taken over by those touristy restaurants... which used to be popular with locals before the crowds arrived.
@@rethinkingtourism4862 Sure, it certainly depends on the place. In a poor town locals can't afford to eat at top end restaurants catering to western tourists. But restaurants can be set up fairly easy and supply in the restaurant business is pretty flexible, so if there is demand for top end places such restaurants will spring up over time. While restaurants in the town centre may sell out to the tourist industry, if demand for quality is there it will reappear elsewhere. If demand increases because some tourists want quality too it just increases overall demand and thus over time also the offerings.
@@RoadDestination That is all true. It was just a generalization that tourists take up many slots for various things that locals may want. There was a 1998 NY Times article where a New Yorker was quoted saying something like: "What's the point in paying so much to live in this great city, when tourists are clogging things up so we can't enjoy them."
hahaha fill our best bars and restaurants ... youve obviously never been to austria ^^
ok, that made me laugh.
I m from Greece and I have a lots of friends working as slaves in the tourism industry, so I hate tourists more than most.
While I agree with most of your suggestions, I very much disagree with the "don't roll your luggage, take a taxi". I worked my ass off to save a couple hundred euros to visit another country for 3 days. I won't get ripped off by your local cab driver just so you won't hear me struggling. Rest assured, if I had money to spare I would and I wouldn't be walking with my things for half an hour.
If I had a nickel for every dood I saw peeing publically while I was on vacation Id... be able to pay for a nice 4-star restaurant for 2 lol. Seriously.
In some places, urinating in public streets is part of the culture. It would be rude *not* to.
In what culture is urinating okay?!
I think part of the problem is that the tourists and the tourist towns have completely different views of the transaction. The tourist is spending their short and valued time away from work and thousands of dollars to relax and have fun and see the sights. With that much of an investment, they expect to be allowed to relax and enjoy themselves, but often find themselves in stressful situations instead (nickle and diming for every little thing, price gouging, accommodations and transportation not as expected, restrictions and accessibilities not as expected, etc..). As far as they're concerned, they paid for the right to "misbehave" a bit. From the locals perspective, the tourists are a kind of infestation that can't be poisoned out of existence. Both groups need to adjust their expectations, and they should both make a point of adjusting their behaviors to make the other more comfortable.
Just because you live there doesn't mean you own the place. When moving to a major tourist destination, you should expect major tourist populations. Also, you act like you have a say in whether your, "guests," are there or not.
On the don’t put padlocks on things, the picture you showed was of the padlock bridge in Cologne Germany. It’s actually a kind of tradition to put a padlock there with your significant other.
And don't think everyone finds bad language appropriate (like in this video
Before they removed it for being "too heavy" the railings littered with padlocks on the bridge in Paris was 100% a tourist attraction. Sure, anywhere else is just stupid, but while it was there, the bridge brought people from around the world to leave a token of their love for someone.
Good video, as always, but needs correction. I highly doubt that tons of tourism dollars don't benefit the locals in some indirect ways. Also, a seashell snatched from a beach is not going to topple your local ecosystem. Finally, why should I worry about learning your language? When you visit my country, you don't bother learning mine!
🙄
Twist: The plane crashes into the City's most famous place.
The eternal question: who gives another a favour--either tourists paying Money for the vacation and sightseeing, or the host by letting tourists come to the destination.
>pls wear a hijab and conform to our oppressive religion pls
lolno
I understand most of this… Except… Why shouldn’t people pick up shells lying on the beach? I mean, did you own the creature the shells came from? That shell isn’t even alive anymore, and technically, it never was alive to begin with. My mother is a shell collector; every time we go to the beach we pick up shells from the sand because she loves them. How is this a bad thing?
Because it still affects the environment even if you don't see it directly. Other creatures can make use of it, it can break down and renourish the area, it has lots of possibilities. It's also easy to assume the one you pick up won't make a difference but lots of people think that which turns it into a problem.
I'm glad your mother likes the shells, I hope she enjoys the ones she has, but maybe she can change collecting new ones to taking pictures or simply looking at it and putting it back. That will help nature to stay healthy and make even more for everyone to enjoy, including her.
Enjoy your days at the beach and your time with your mother and stay well.
Because if everyone picks up one shell there will be none left. Already in Queensland ppl are so keen to collect shells they pick up live molluscs and kill them for the shell. Tell your mum to take photos.
If it's that bad, DON'T ALLOW TOURISTS.
İt's not tourists fault if your roads are shitty and made of stone without leveling and luggages make some sound... İ honestly don't care
Stay home.
