The Secretary for Commerce and Economic Development Qiu Tenghua said that cross-border travel restrictions and anti-epidemic measures in various places have paralyzed the tourism industry, and related industries such as cross-border transportation, hotel industry, and retail industry have also been severely hit. The epidemic continues to ravage the world, and border tourism is short-term. It is difficult to recover, so it was decided to provide a special round of additional funding to related industries.
This measure includes the provision of cash allowances to travel agents. Travel agents employing 10 or less staff will receive a flat allowance of 50,000 yuan, and travel agents employing 11 or more staff will receive a subsidy equal to their staff. Depending on the number, each staff member will receive an allowance of RMB 5,000, which is expected to benefit about 1,600 travel agencies.
