On the occasion of this year’s National Day and Mid-Autumn holidays, the number of Chinese tourists travelling to the territory is gradually increasing. The Consulate General in Melbourne here solemnly reminds you that you must increase the awareness of security overseas, and carefully plan to choose the tourist program that suits your situation, in order to avoid unnecessary security risk tragedy.
1. About mountaineering and hiking. There are many mountaineering and hiking routes in Victoria and Tasmania National Nature Parks in the consular district. Some routes are remote and steep, and the climate in mountainous areas is changeable. Please choose carefully and do what you can. If you really need to participate in related projects, you should receive professional training and escort in strict accordance with the requirements. Wear warm and waterproof outer clothing to prevent the risk of hypothermia. Carry professional life-saving equipment such as PLB. Keep your mobile phone charged and carry sufficient mobile power. In case of bad weather or too difficult route, you should retreat decisively or change your plan to avoid taking risks.
Two, about other high-risk tourism projects. High-altitude, high-speed, wading, adventure and other tourism projects have high safety risks. When tourists choose high-risk projects such as rock fishing, surfing, snorkeling, deep diving, sea trips, paragliding, hot air balloons, etc., they should fully assess their physical strength and project safety, learn and master emergency response methods in advance, and don't blindly follow the trend. And actively consider purchasing necessary special insurance.
