during the 7-day golden week holiday, traveling has already become an indispensable part of people's relaxation activities. the lengthy holidays have caused unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities. holiday spending, however, adds fuel to the chinese economy, which in turn leads to the creation of a new term “holiday economy” and it sparks a hot debate about it. some economists are in favor of the golden week economy.
they believe it has many advantages. first, tourism-based holiday economy will raise consumption, up spending and, therefore, help to spur the domestic demand.
in addition, it benefits tourism, transportation, catering, hotels and service industries and enables them to thrive during holidays, which in turn adds fuel to the overall economic growth.
however, others overstate its disadvantages and hold that it brings undeniable problems. first, the travel craze puts a heavy burden on the traffic system, causing serious traffic jams. besides, thousands and thousands of tourists flood scenic spots, jamming railway stations and airports, causing some over crowdedness and safety problems. therefore, we shouldn’t neglect the new problems. i believe its advantages far outweigh its disadvantages. after all, it greatly benefits our overall economy. finally, i suggest the government take effective measures to solve the aforementioned problems. only in this way can we let the golden week economy develop in a sound way.
as we all know, lately the national people's congress has passed several significant perposals, including the new festivals and holidays policies.three-day holiday is going to take place of "golden week", which has been written into our latest labour law.
instinct attitudes have been proclaimed by different people.the ones who support this new measurement argue that, short-holiday not only is capable of effectively mitigating the transporting and environment pressures caused by heavy tourism industry, but also allows us to celebrate the traditional may day. however,opposites do not agree with it. in their opinions, only by long-holiday could grant the employees and workers to be provided with sufficient opportunities to relax and rest.what is worse, sum of potential profits, particularly the tourism margins would lost by implementing this legislation.
as to me, this new regulation is acceptable on the whole.on the one hand, we college students still can enjoy our holidays with our families and friends. on the other hand, compared with a whole week holidays,short rest would probably allow us to return to our studies and business more efficiently.
