In September, 1999, the State Council reformed and introduced a new legal holiday system. Every year, May Day is a statutory holiday plus a temporary holiday, and the whole country has seven days off. Since then, the tourism consumption fever set off by the May 1 Golden Week has become a new bright spot in China's economic life.

However, the good times did not last long. In 2008, the May Day holiday was "slimming" 1 day, which attracted netizens to vomit.

At the National People's Congress on 20 17, many delegates stood up and shouted for the "long holiday".

They suggest extending the May Day holiday so that people can have a rest and stimulate domestic demand and consumption.

In 2008, the "May 1" Golden Week was cancelled and changed to * * * three-day short holidays, and Tomb-Sweeping Day, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival were established. The total holiday time was changed from 10 to1day.

The National Legal Holiday Adjustment Task Force explained that the reason for canceling the Golden Week was that the holiday arrangement was too concentrated, and 9 of the 10 legal holidays were arranged in the Spring Festival, "May Day" and "Eleventh Day", which led to a huge number of people, traffic congestion and increased tourism safety hazards.

In addition, the large-scale concentrated travel of residents leads to insufficient supply of tourism products in a short period of time, and the tourist attractions are overcrowded, and damage occurs from time to time;

Excessive consumption during the long vacation also brings great difficulties to the arrangement of tourism and related business activities. "

Golden week is not conducive to tourism, which has been recognized by tourism practitioners.
