“The tourism industry is warming up again,” said Wang Lei, a staff member at Shanghai Haichang Ocean Park.
Before the holiday, the 50 percent restriction on visitor numbers at A-level tourist attractions in China was eased to 75 percent, and Wang said that had boosted recovery of the tourism industry. The park has extended its hours from 8:30am to 8:30pm during the holiday. “We are also taking strict measures such as temperature measurement, health QR code check and frequent sanitation to ensure a safe trip for visitors,” she said. “Visitors are encouraged to purchase tickets online in advance.”
More than 150 major tourist attractions across Shanghai received 4.19 million visits from tourists and residents over the first four days of the holiday, up 3 percent from the same period last year, according to the Shanghai Administration of Culture and Tourism. In the first three days of the holiday, the occupancy rate of hotels in the city hit 70 percent, a growth of 13.5 percent from the same period last year.
