UK issues Olympics etiquette guide Hold off from hugging an Indian, don’t be alarmed if the French are rude and never mistake a Canadian for an American. Britain’s national tourism agency issued guidelines on the etiquette of dealing with the hundreds of thousands of foreign visitors who will be coming to London for the 2012 Summer Olympics. Seeking to help the country’s citizens offer a warmer welcome, VisitBritain has updated its advice for anyone likely to work with travelers arriving from overseas - from hotel staff to taxi drivers. "Giving our foreign visitors a friendly welcome is absolutely vital to our economy," said Sandie Dawe, chief executive officer of the agency. About 30 million people visit Britain each year, spending about 16.6 billion pounds ($26 billion). The 2012 Olympics is likely to bring in an additional 2.1 billion pounds ($3.3 billion) in tourism revenue, according to a government estimate. The frank etiquette tips were written by agency staff about their own native countries. Polish tourists are likely to be hurt by stereotypes that imply they drink excessively, while the French are notoriously picky in restaurants, the guidelines claim. Belgians take offense at people snapping their fingers while Japanese people consider prolonged eye contact impolite and smile to express a range of emotions - not simply to show happiness. Indians don’t like being touched by strangers and travelers from the Middle East are likely to be demanding with staff, the guide warns. Guests from China and Hong Kong may find winking or pointing with an index finger rude, the advice claims. Chinese visitors may be unimpressed by landmarks just a few hundred years old, tourism staffs are told. Workers are advised against discussing poverty, immigration, earthquakes or the Mexican-American war with visitors from Mexico. Canadian tourists are likely to be quite annoyed about being mistaken for Americans, the guide suggests - urging workers to keep an eye out for maple leaf pins or badges on tourists’ clothing. And Americans? They can appear "informal to the point of being very direct or even rude" and won’t ever hesitate about complaining, the guide says. 英国发布奥运会待客指南 称不应以食指指向中国人 不要去主动拥抱印度人，不要因为法国人的粗鲁而担心，而且永远都不要把一个加拿大人误当成是美国人。 英国国家旅游局官方网站“访问英国”最新发布待客指南，用来“对付”即将在2012年伦敦奥运会前往伦敦的上万游客。“访问英国”针对于最有可能和海外游客打交道的人群——从酒店职员到出租车司机——更新了一系列建议，以帮助国民更加适宜、热情地接待外国游客。 “向外国游客提供热情友好接待至关重要，”英国国家旅游局首席执行官桑迪-道说。据了解，每年前往英国的游客总数达3千万，消费大约160亿英镑(约合250亿美元)。英国政府估算，伦敦奥运会将会为伦敦旅游业增加21亿英镑（33亿美元）的收入。这本直言不讳的指南由在英国国家旅游局工作的各国人员根据本国特点撰写。 该指南称波兰游客容易被“波兰人饮酒无节制”的老一套看法所伤害，而法国人则以对饭馆挑剔而臭名昭著。当着比利时人的面咬手指头会激怒他们，而日本人认为长时间的目光接触并不礼貌，而且无论情绪如何都用笑来遮掩——他们不容易表示出高兴的情绪。印度人不喜欢被陌生人碰触，而来自中东的游客则可能会对侍者百般挑剔。 对中国大陆和香港的游客挤眼或者用食指指点是粗鲁的行为。而只有几百年历史的观光地可能无法吸引中国游客。不要向墨西哥人谈及贫穷、移民、地震以及19世纪中叶墨西哥与美国之间的战争。不要把加拿大人错看成是美国人，因为他们会为此非常生气——所以要留意他们衣服上是否有枫叶形的别针或徽章。至于美国人，他们似乎“不讲究礼节，直来直去甚至粗鲁”，而且很爱抱怨。
