The summer peak season is affected, and the recovering tourism industry faces another blow
According to data from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, in the first half of 2021, the total number of domestic tourist arrivals was 1.871 billion, an increase of 100.8% over the same period last year (returning to 60.9% in the same period in 2019).
The summer vacation was originally the peak tourist season, but under the influence of the new round of epidemic, the peak season may no longer be busy.
Tang Xiaoyun, vice president of the China Tourism Research Institute, told Chinanews.com that the Nanjing epidemic has triggered many upgrades of prevention and control levels and restrictions on group trips outside the province, which has put short-term pressure on the recovery of the tourism industry involving provinces, cities and surrounding areas.
It is the peak summer travel season, and some consumers postpone or cancel their travel due to the Nanjing epidemic, which will have a greater negative impact on summer travel this year.
However, judging from the current situation, the Nanjing epidemic is still under control, and the setbacks in some areas will not affect the fundamentals of the steady recovery of the tourism industry.
Tang Xiaoyun reminded that the Nanjing epidemic is a new mode of domestic transmission caused by imported epidemics, and other new forms of import may appear in the future. It is necessary to strengthen the regularity of the new crown virus and conduct in-depth research on the impact of the epidemic on the domestic and inbound and outbound tourism markets, different regions and different regions. While forming short-term response measures and emergency plans for the medium and long-term effects of the tourism industry, gradually form medium and long-term safety production standards or service guidelines, and innovate and form new tourism service methods and product formats.
Li Baiwen, a professor at the School of Tourism of Beijing Union University, pointed out to a reporter from Chinanews.com that the epidemic will have a considerable negative impact on the tourism industry.
This time, a scenic spot has spread the epidemic, prompting tourism suppliers to insist on long-term "operation during the epidemic", strengthen tourist education, and not relax the epidemic prevention requirements because there is no epidemic in the short term.
