A 2.5-day week off, a wave of God’s operation is coming.

This epidemic has frozen the enthusiasm of global consumption. From the current point of view, the revenue of domestic tourism in the first quarter of 2020 has fallen by a cliff-like 69%.

The overseas epidemic is unexpectedly severe, and the export industry Almost stopped, the livelihoods of bosses and employees are at stake.

What to do? Since March, Jiangxi Province, Zhejiang Province, and Longnan City, Gansu Province have issued notices to encourage the implementation of the 2.5-day holiday system. The relevant person in charge of the Jiangxi Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism pointed out to the media that “the tourism industry has a strong driving force and a large multiplier effect and is a new driving force for economic growth. A 2.5-day holiday is more flexible and more operable than a long vacation.” < / p>

Now I have two extra days of rest each month for no reason. Who wants to?” A Zhejiang business owner sighed on social media.
