China is planning to readjust its public holidays to relieve the increasingly heavier burden placed on its hot tourist attractions during "Golden Weeks".

The newspaper Monday reported that the administration had drafted a proposal suggesting several adjustment strategies. The proposal is expected to go to the National People's Congress for discussion and possible approval.

At the close of the nation's National Day holidays, also the 21st Golden Week since the system was introduced in 1999, golden weeks over the past eight years have brought about huge returns for the nation's tourism industry. However, voices calling for cancellation of the nationwide holidays are becoming ever stronger as such rush-day travels have posed big pressures on nationwide transportation, accommodation and environmental protection.

According to a survey launched by a mainland media outlet, 61.46 percent of a total of 3,071 participants in the survey are in favor of making changes to such public holidays.

Experts also say that current week-long holidays that fall on every May 1st and October 1st are not an ideal way for people to take a break. Holiday makers blindly follow the overwhelming push of the tourism administration to rush between different sight-seeing spots without even taking enough rests. Moreover, these travelers have also caused a big headache to accommodation and transportation services in tourist locations, said Wang Jianmin, a researcher from the Tourism Research Centre of the Chinese Academy of Social Sciences.

The survey also finds that there is an increasing number of advocates who suggest the prolonging of rest days over traditional Chinese festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

中新網(wǎng)10月8日電 隨著第25個黃金周落幕，內(nèi)地再掀對“黃金周”的存廢爭議。香港《文匯報》報道，從“黃金周”實施9年來持續(xù)攀升的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)可見，長假對釋放潛在的消費需求，拉動內(nèi)需的作用有目共睹；但是，當國人的休假日高度集中到同一時段，旅游景點和相關公共設施的“超負荷”以及隨之衍生的連串問題也開始凸顯，社會上改革“黃金周”的呼聲日高。報道稱，國家旅游局官員透露，現(xiàn)行的休假制度勢將調(diào)整，有關部門的新休假方案目前已到最后論證階段，只待上報全國人大審議通過。

在1999年國慶第一個“黃金周”到來時，席卷全國的假日旅游熱潮令各界始料不及。據(jù)統(tǒng)計，7天內(nèi)，全國的出游人數(shù)達2800萬人次，旅游綜合收入141億元。七年后的2006年春節(jié)，全國共接待游客已達到7832萬人次，旅游收入368億元。從“黃金周”飛速攀升的統(tǒng)計數(shù)據(jù)可看出，“假日經(jīng)濟”不僅擴大了內(nèi)需，刺激了消費，同時也帶來了經(jīng)濟發(fā)展觀念的一次新變革。

調(diào)整休假 或撤五一黃金周

國家旅游局相關官員向該報明確指出，有關部門對現(xiàn)行的休假制度進行調(diào)整是必定的，各部門經(jīng)調(diào)研得出的具體方案目前已到最后論證階段，只待依法律程序上報全國人大審議通過。這位官員表示，“黃金周”這一現(xiàn)行休假制度保留與否，以及將傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日增設為法定假日，并非一項簡單工作，必須經(jīng)過慎重研究后才能決定，有關新休假制度的具體方案雖已基本確定，但仍未能公布，不過可以肯定的是，重要的民族傳統(tǒng)節(jié)日將被納入法定假日。(中國新聞網(wǎng) 葛沖、軼瑋、岳仿嶙、刁成 何靈芝)
