according to a report by beijing news on september 21, on september 20, some tourists reported that a scenic spot in sichuan prohibited tourists from eating instant noodles brought by themselves for environmental protection, but the scenic spot sold hot dry noodles soaked in water for 22 yuan a bowl. some tourists also said that the sanitation workers in the scenic spot poured the food soup into the grass at will. after investigation, it was found that the sales of hot dry noodles and the sanitation workers did not handle the noodle soup according to regulations. in response to tourists bringing their own instant noodles, the scenic spot said it would provide free boiling water and eating places, and uniformly collect and standardize garbage disposal.

this incident once again brought up the topic of "no instant noodles in scenic spots". in fact, many domestic scenic spots have made regulations and initiatives to "no instant noodles in scenic spots" on the grounds of environmental pollution. from an environmental protection perspective, it seems reasonable for scenic spots to prohibit tourists from eating instant noodles in scenic spots, but this question should obviously be a multiple-choice question, rather than a single answer of "one size fits all" to ban instant noodles.

usually, tourists bring instant noodles into scenic spots because the food and beverages there are too expensive or because there is a lack of corresponding catering services. therefore, making it convenient and affordable for tourists to eat and drink is the first priority. in this regard, henan laojun mountain scenic area has launched the "one yuan lunch" for eight consecutive years, reflecting the sincerity of the scenic area in serving tourists and the forward-looking operation and management, that is, with a higher dining cost-effectiveness, it cleverly achieves the practical effect of letting tourists not bring their own meals.

secondly, scenic spots may want to work hard on the "aftermath" of tourists bringing their own food and drinks. in this regard, netizens have made many suggestions. for example, a self-catering area can be provided for tourists, which has necessary facilities and services such as seats, hot water, and garbage disposal. tourists can obtain corresponding services by paying a deposit, and after eating, they can exchange the food packaging and leftovers for the deposit, and the scenic spot will handle the garbage in a unified manner.

secondly, scenic spots should work hard to make information transparent. for example, the types and prices of catering services in scenic spots can be widely publicized in advance, so that some tourists may not choose to bring their own food. scenic spots can also inform tourists in advance of the location of self-service catering stations in scenic spots, so that tourists can eat their own food more conveniently and environmentally friendly. at the same time, scenic spots should also strengthen patrol supervision, urging tourists to protect the environment of scenic spots and not to randomly throw away leftover food. this is the responsibility of scenic spots.

in short, to solve the contradiction between scenic area catering and scenic area environmental protection, it is not feasible to simply set up obstacles for tourists, and it may also infringe on the legitimate rights and interests of tourists. it is wiser to provide detailed services and make "navigation" more precise. reducing the price of scenic area catering to a reasonable level and making the environmental protection management of scenic areas more scientific and thoughtful can improve the tourist experience and better realize the economic and environmental benefits of scenic areas.
