National Day holiday is the peak period for people to participate in cultural activities and go out for tourism. According to experts' analysis, as the National Day holiday approaches, the flow of people to visit relatives and travel increases. In addition, the characteristics of Omickron mutant strain are hiding and strong transmission ability, China still continues to face the risk of imported epidemics from abroad and the spread of local epidemics, and the risk of clustered epidemics in many places still exists.
In order to prevent the spread of the epidemic through cultural and tourism channels, Li Xiaoyong, deputy director of the Market Management Department of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, said that the Ministry of Culture and Tourism will strengthen the management of tourism activities, requiring travel agencies and online travel companies not to operate inbound and outbound team tourism and "air ticket + hotel" business, suspend the operation of team tourism and "air ticket + hotel" business in counties (cities, districts, banners) and districts (counties) with medium and high risk areas, and suspend the city team tourism business at land border ports.
Lei Zhenglong, Director of the Department of Defense of the National Bureau of Disease Control and Prevention, reminded the public at the meeting to try to celebrate the festival locally, reduce travel across cities and cities, and avoid the risk of epidemic transmission caused by large-scale movement of people. If you really need to travel, you must understand the epidemic situation at the destination. Do not go to the counties and districts where medium and high-risk areas are located. You must hold a negative nucleic acid test certificate within 48 hours as required and take planes, high-speed rail, train, cross-provincial long-distance passenger vehicles, cross-provincial passenger ships and other means of transportation, and try to stagger the peak time and peak.
Affected by the epidemic situation and changes in prevention and control policies in various places, public travel during the National Day holiday has been suppressed. Han Jinghua, deputy director of the Transport Service Department of the Ministry of Transport, introduced that public travel is mainly tourism and leisure, visiting relatives and friends, returning to work and hometowns, and the proportion of travel within the province and medium and short distances is large, and long-distance travel across provinces has decreased compared with previous years.
As more and more people choose to celebrate the festival nearby, the people's demand for cultural venues has increased. Li Xiaoyong said that local cultural and tourism departments should formulate targeted consumption-friendly policies, give full play to the demonstration and leading role of national night cultural and tourism consumption clusters, create popular destinations for night consumption, encourage cultural experience tours such as museum tours, science and technology tours, folk tours, etc., develop local tours, surrounding tours and other tourism routes, launch new products such as camping tourism and study tourism to promote the integrated development of online and offline consumption.
In addition, since the start of school in the fall, campus entry and exit management has become a key concern for society. As the National Day holiday approaches, the movement of social personnel has increased, and the difficulty of campus epidemic prevention has increased. How schools prevent the epidemic risks brought by social mobility and ensure that teachers and students celebrate the festival in an orderly and healthy manner has attracted attention.
Deputy Director of the Department of Physical Education, Health and Art, Ministry of Education, Liu Peijun, said that campus entry and exit management must be both strict and flexible. It is necessary to keep the school gates closed, strictly control the entry of irrelevant personnel into schools, strictly prevent the entry of off-campus epidemics, and also meet the reasonable needs of teachers and students for medical treatment and business trips, prevent "increasing the amount layer by layer" and "over-prevention and control", and especially prevent the simple practice of "switching it off".
He pointed out that during the National Day holiday, schools should continuously optimize and adjust the school gate entry and exit management methods based on the epidemic situation and policy adjustments in their locations, and scientifically and accurately guide personnel to enter and exit the campus. While preventing the epidemic, they should strive to reduce the impact of the epidemic on school education and teaching, teacher and student study and life, and the normal campus order. (End)
