      China launches new measures to boost culture, tourism consumption

      2025-01-13 22:12 Last Updated At:22:37

      The General Office of the State Council has issued a document on further cultivating new growth drivers and promoting cultural and tourism consumption, which outlines six key areas with 18 specific measures.

      The measures include offering attractive benefits for consumers such as cultural and tourism consumption vouchers, discounts, and regional integrated benefit programs to make services more accessible and affordable.

      Efforts will also be made to meet the diverse needs of different consumer groups, including the innovation of educational tourism programs and the development of more products tailored specifically for senior citizens.

      To expand supply of special products, local authorities are encouraged to moderately relax restrictions on ticket sales for large-scale commercial performances, and performing tour projects will no longer require repetitive content reviews in each destination.

      Immersive consumption experiences are also encouraged by promoting the nighttime economy. Popular attractions and cultural institutions including museums will be encouraged to extend their operating hours, catering to increased evening demand.

      Support for innovative cultural and tourism projects will be strengthened, particularly for the implementation of large-scale equipment upgrades and consumer goods trade-in programs in these sectors.

      And the consumer experience will be improved through streamlined reservation and ticketing systems for major scenic spots and cultural institutions. Measures will also be taken to optimize tax refund services for international visitors, including the promotion of "instant refund" options.

      Israel and Hamas have finally reached a ceasefire agreement to end over 15 months of fighting in the Gaza Strip after intensified efforts by mediators, Egypt's state-affiliated Al-Qahera News TV channel reported Wednesday.

      Meanwhile, Israeli media, citing U.S. and Israeli officials, confirmed that the two warring parties have reached an agreement on a ceasefire and hostage release.

      Israel's state-owned Kan TV news earlier quoted an Israeli official as reporting that Israel received a "positive" written reply from Hamas for approving a proposed Gaza ceasefire-for-hostage release deal.

      Also on Wednesday, Al Jazeera reported that Qatari Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani met with Hamas and Israeli negotiators in Doha in a "final push" to reach a ceasefire deal.

      In another development, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar said in a statement on Wednesday that the government is expected to vote on the Gaza ceasefire-for-hostage deal on Thursday.

      Meanwhile, an Israeli official said the Security Cabinet will also convene on Thursday morning to vote on the deal.
