Chinese health officials on Thursday encouraged the public to stay put or reduce out-of-town trips during what's normally known as a golden period of tourism in the country. However, the anti-COVID-19 moves have not dampened consumers' enthusiasm for the holidays, as bookings for local tourism soared.
The Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, which will start on Saturday, and the National Day holiday in early October are traditional peak season for travel. Though inter-provincial travel has been affected, spending during the holidays will show reliance given a wide range of options and consumption recovery will continue once the epidemic is reined in, analysts noted.
At a news conference on Thursday, Wu Liangyou, an official at the National Health Commission, said that to prevent large-scale outbreaks during the holidays, China will firmly stick to the dynamic zero-COVID strategy.
