It has been quite a while since the majority of tourists have been at home for epidemic prevention, so the enthusiasm to come out and relax is very high. Quite a few places have introduced various preferential measures, including free of charge, issuing some coupons, etc., to provide you with preferential policies for tourism. In order to meet the tourism needs of the broad masses of people, the culture and tourism system, under the premise of doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, orderly promote the resumption of production and production. According to incomplete statistics, nearly 70% of the tourist attractions in the country have been opened in an orderly manner under the leadership of the local party committee and government.
[Commentary] Luo Shugang also pointed out that it is still in the period of epidemic prevention and control. Therefore, the major tourist attractions should be open to the peak, limited, open, and orderly to ensure the safe, stable, and orderly operation of the scenic spots.
[Same period] Minister of Culture and Tourism Luo Shugang
Tourism resources are limited and not fully open. For example, the indoor part of a considerable part of the scenic spot cannot be opened temporarily, and the number of tourists in the scenic spot cannot exceed 30% of the maximum carrying capacity of the scenic spot. We have taken a series of measures in response to these risks. One is to implement an appointment system and open up appointments to avoid excessive travel time for tourists; second, to reasonably control the flow of scenic spots; and third, to prevent people from gathering. Strengthen the guidance of tourists outside the scenic spot, and do a good job of diversion in advance; fourth, do a good job of sanitary protection and achieve healthy opening. Strengthen cleaning and disinfection, and strictly implement prevention and control measures such as body temperature screening.
[Commentary] At the meeting, Luo Shugang also made suggestions to the upcoming tourists.
[Same period] Minister of Culture and Tourism Luo Shugang
Tourists should strengthen their awareness of epidemic prevention and actively cultivate the habit of making appointments for visits, and make time-based visits through appointments. I want to remind visitors that if you have not made an appointment, do not go there on your own. I hope that the majority of tourists should truthfully inform their personal health information to the tourist area when visiting and accepting the tour service, and should take good personal protection and cooperate with the tourist area to measure body temperature. It is hoped that the majority of tourists will abide by the public order, especially at the entrances of tourist attractions, important visit points, restaurants and other areas to consciously maintain a distance from other tourists and reduce unnecessary contact.
