Notice Regarding Launching Special Operation to Strengthen Administration Travel Services Going
Abroad and Guarding Against Hong Kong's Politically Harmful Publications
Hohhot, Inner Mongolia Tourism Department Notice [2012] No. 8
To all travel agencies organizing tours abroad:
According to information from relevant government agencies, Hong Kong has now become a main source for politically harmful publishing activities, a place where a large collection of hostile organizations and hostile individuals have gathered to establish reactionary publishing and media agencies with the support and assistance of America and other Western countries. These organizations publish politically harmful publications that attack the Chinese Communist Party and the Party's leadership, attack the socialist system and judicature, news publishing and other political structures, distorting China's revolutionary history, Party history, the history of new China and the reform and opening, denigrate the Party and state leaders, promote separatism, ethnic conflict, and religious extremism and social discord, incite mass incidents, and are focused on infiltrating into mainland China. As the Party's 18th Congress approaches Hong Kong based planning and premeditating to conduct politically harmful publishing activities is becoming increasingly active, with an increased focus on politically harmful publications targeting the 18th Party Congress, and the activities targeting mainland China are growing in intensity, and checking and countering this is extremely serious. Therefor our office hereby raises the following demands for travel agencies in our city going abroad in accordance with the Notice Regarding Launching a Special Operation to Check and Counter Hong Kong's Politically Harmful Publications issued by the Hohot Municipal "Sweep Out Pornography and Strike Down Illegal Publications" Task Force:
1. Travel agencies must strengthen their education and administration of tour leaders and tour guides, and direct those touring abroad not to purchase politically harmful publications in Hong Kong, and those travel agencies that fail in their administration will be dealt with severely in accordance with rules and discipline.
2. During their itinerary introduction meeting prior to tours departing abroad, travel agencies must conduct a special operation to emphasize, remind, and demand that tourists must not purchase or carry Hong Kong politically harmful publications, must not participate in any activities that harm the image of the Party or the government, and must behave as civilized and law-abiding tourists.
3. If during the course of a tour abroad anything unusual occurs or a politically sensitive incident takes place, you must take appropriate steps to handle and resolve it.

关于开展加强旅行社出境管理、防控香港政治性有害出版物专项行动的通知
呼旅通[2012]8号
各组团出境旅行社：
据有关部门通报，当前，香港已成为政治性有害出版活动的主要策源地，聚集了大批由敌对组织或敌对分子创办，而且得到美国等西方国家支持和赞助的反动出版传媒机构。这些机构出版的政治性有害出版物攻击中国共产党和党的领导，攻击社会主义制度和司法，新闻出版等政治制度，歪曲中国革命史、党的历史、新中国历史和改革开放，贬损党和国家领导人，宣扬国家分裂、民族对立、完教极端思想挑拨社会矛盾，煽动群体事件，主要面向内地渗透。随着党的十八大日益临近，以香港为基地，有计划有预谋的政治性有害出版活动更加活跃，针对十八大的政治性有害出版特更为集中，向内地渗透活动越演越烈，查堵反制形势十分严峻。对此，我局根据呼市“扫黄打非”工作领导小组办公室下发的《关于开展查堵反制香港政治性有害出版物专项行动的通知》的有关要求，现对我市组团出境旅行社提出如下要求：
一、各旅行社要加强对领队、导游的教育和管理，引导出境游客不购买香港政治性有害出版物，对放任管理的旅行社将依规依纪严肃处理。
二、旅行社在游客出境前的旅游行程说明会上，必需进行专项强调，提醒并要求游客不得购买、携带香港政治性有害出版物；不得参与有损党和国家形象的活动，做文明守法的旅游者。
三、在境外旅游行程中，发现异常或出现政治敏感性事件要及时报告，妥善进行处理解决。
四、市旅游局联系电话：0471—4606516
