Beijing Zoo started implementing stronger measures against tourist misconduct, especially feeding animals, following a city program on decent behavior promotion, according to Beijing News on Thursday.

As China's oldest animal park, the zoo has finished installing a smart security monitoring system with full coverage, able to help quickly locate tourists violating the rules. The park also set up 220 reminder boards, remembering visitors that they are forbidden from feeding animals. More guard rails have also been placed around some 13 animal enclosures to increase the distance between visitors and animals.

To avoid misconduct, the zoo joined hands with the police and city management department, and invited social volunteers to warn those against regulations.

According to the zoo, disobedient citizens that are caught on the act will be firstly dissuade via speakers and broadcast. In case there are repeated violations, the zoo will blacklist the offenders and submit a suggestion to the culture and tourism authorities so that they can be banned from all tourist spots in the city.

Recently, a woman was seen on a video feeding the wolves with her children, giving them weeds through the fence around the enclosure. The public was very critical of the behavior, and the zoo responded by blacklisting the woman and adding that she will be educated on civilized behavior before her next visit.

Back in 2016, China issued a code of conduct in tourism, which details unacceptable behaviors that damage cultural relics, facilities, and environment, and infringements of the wildlife protection law. The regulation also covers possible misconduct on people working in the tourism industry, like forcing customers to shop.

People recognized by an evaluation commission of having indecent manners can be blacklisted for a maximum of five years.
