CPPCC members call for resumption of May holiday

The factors that restrict the implementation of long vacation have been eliminated

Since the cancellation of the Golden Week in 2008, there have been constant calls for the public to resume the May 1 holiday. During the two sessions this year, Zhang Jindong, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and chairman of Suning Appliance, member of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference and Mao Yulin, secretary general of the Mao Yisheng Science and Technology Education Fund Committee, all proposed that the May Day holiday should be resumed as soon as possible.

The cancellation of the May 1 holiday in 2008 was mainly due to the large number of people moving, the congested traffic, the short supply of tourism products in short-term, and the overcrowding of tourist attractions, which also caused great difficulties in the arrangement of tourism and related business activities.

Both Zhang Jindong and Mao Yulin believe that the factors that restrict the implementation of the May 1 holiday have been eliminated. At present, China’s large number of public infrastructure such as expressways, high-speed railways, and subways have been completed, which can fully meet the needs of long holidays. The nation’s commercial service facilities have improved markedly. Various recreational and recreational facilities have been added and new service categories have been opened to avoid a single form of tourism consumption and to avoid excessive concentration of consumption. These all provide the basic conditions for relieving traffic and service pressure and restoring the May 1 holiday.

After the cancellation of the May 1 holiday in 2008, the public’s voice has gradually increased, with more than 90% of the respondents agreeing to resume the May 1 holiday. Mao Yulin suggested that the National Development and Reform Commission should organize a research group to conduct research as soon as possible, and come up with a plan to restore the May 1 holiday as soon as possible for the State Council's decision-making reference. If the total number of national holidays cannot be increased too quickly, it can be increased from the current annual holiday of 11 days to 12 days. The two short vacations of the Ching Ming and Mid-Autumn Festival will be retained. Since the May Day Holiday is close to the Dragon Boat Festival, it is recommended that the Dragon Boat Festival be cancelled. On holidays, only one day of vacation time can be restored to May Day holiday.

Zhang Jindong believes that the Spring Festival Golden Week will form a consumption peak in the second half of the year, and the extension of the May 1 Golden Week will form a consumption peak in the first half of the year. The timely restoration of the May Day holiday and the increase of legal holidays can not only effectively stimulate domestic demand, promote economic development, but also enrich people's lives.

Mao Yulin said that if the May Day holiday is restored, it can generate at least 500 billion yuan in spending power, which will play an important role in promoting China's economic development.
