Tourism is supported with shortened work weeks in China
Reducing summer working hours is among proposals by the State Council aimed at boosting tourism and reviving China's economy – reported in the Chinese media about the State Council’s decision.
The State Council also wants local governments to encourage businesses to cut summer working hours by giving employees Friday afternoons off. It hopes this will encourage workers to use the long weekends to travel.
Beijing-based economist Hu Xingdou said tourism development had “hit a bottleneck” and that “an overhaul could really help push China, with its rich history and natural sightseeing attractions, to become the world’s biggest tourism nation”. (MTI)
