The spring travel boom is coming. It is expected that this year's Ching Ming Festival will reach 100 million tourists.
On the premise of continuing to implement various measures to prevent and control the epidemic, good news continues to come from the domestic tourism and cultural tourism market.

On March 21, the State Council’s Joint Prevention and Control Meeting made it clear that the country has basically achieved the “one yard pass” of the health code.
You can travel in an orderly manner under the premise of normal temperature measurement and good personal protection, and no additional code is allowed in various places.
This means that personnel in low-risk areas can travel freely within the country with the "green code" of the health code, without the need for a negative nucleic acid test certificate.
At the same time, low-risk areas will no longer impose uniform restrictions on the number of theaters and other performance venues, Internet service venues, and entertainment venues. The party committees and governments of each province (autonomous region, municipality) will control themselves according to the local epidemic prevention and control situation.
Do not engage in "one size fits all".
