China Chatter : German hotel tells fellow customers to arive meals 60 minutes before the Chinese tourists arrive

Article published in China tells the story of a Chinese tour group travelling across Europe and their visit to Germany.

The tour group arrived at reception and one of the Chinese guests who spoke good German noticed a German sign saying, "Please attend all meals 60 minutes earlier before the Chinese arrive, because they are too noisy and they will eat all of the food".

This is similar to our (Go Fontiers) experiences and have seen this type of behaviour before from the Chinese tour groups first hand in China and can understand the German hotel trying to keep two sets of customers happy.

But when this happens in your hotel. What are you going to do?

Be ready and get prepared by attending our Chinese Tourism in the UK course

The Peak District - What are the Chinese talking about!!!

Two recent news articles found on WeChat and in a Chinese newspaper discussed the areas in Peak District and the places to visit that reflect the things the Chinese like and can compare with their own history and culture.
