Disease prevention and control centers in various parts of the country have recommended short trips for the New Year’s Day holiday as the country is still on alert for sporadic resurgence of Covid-19 cases.
In the past week, Ctrip reported a significant increase in bookings for tours around Jiangsu during the New Year’s Day holiday, an increase of 92% from the previous week.
Hot spring tours that satisfy winter warm-ups and holiday leisure are welcomed by users in Jiangsu. Among the favorite destinations are Yangzhou Seclusion Slender West Lake Hot Spring Resort Hotel, Nanjing Ziqing Lake Eco-tourism Hot Spring Resort, Changzhou Liyang Meijia Mountain Hot Spring Resort and some other hotels and resorts.
Disease prevention and control centers in various parts of the country have warned people to strengthen personal protection when going out for short tours during the new year’s holiday.
In the meantime, travel agencies are to suspend cross-provincial tours to border cities — except for the Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions — until March 15, 2022.
The new requirement, included in a series measures released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism on Friday, aims to tighten up pandemic control before the coming New Year and Spring Festival holidays.
Travel agencies are also to suspend cross-provincial bookings of hotels and air tickets to border cities until March 15, again with the exclusion of Hong Kong and Macao.
To secure traveler safety during the upcoming New Year and Spring Festival holidays, travel agencies must enhance supervision of employee health and organize routine nucleic acid tests.
