We will reduce import tariffs on some high-quality consumer goods, accelerate the establishment of a housing system with multi-agent supply, multi-channel guarantee and simultaneous rent and purchase, support rigid and improved housing demand, and actively promote household consumption. In addition, the financial department will also promote the smooth flow of sales channels and logistics, making it convenient for ordinary people to consume.

China’s job market continues to heat up, and enterprise recruitment and talent job hunting are "both in supply and demand"

　　Since the beginning of the year, the level of macroeconomic prosperity has returned to the expansion range, driving the China job market to continue to heat up. The offline job fairs held by colleges and universities all over the country are crowded, and the online live broadcasts are continuous. Enterprise recruitment and talent job hunting show a booming trend of supply and demand, and the spring recruitment market is warm and harmonious.

　　The "2023 Shanghai Spring Employment Promotion Special Action Large-scale Job Fair" kicked off on February 25th. The organizers carefully selected thousands of enterprises to recruit, providing more than 25,000 jobs, covering key industries such as advanced manufacturing, construction, scientific research and information technology, and setting up special recruitment areas for specialized and new "little giant" enterprises and employment trainee bases.

　　The job fair attracted nearly 18,000 people, delivered more than 35,000 resumes, reached nearly 10,000 initial intentions, and more than 200,000 people participated in live post activities. The organizer said that the number of participants exceeded expectations, on the one hand, because online recruitment methods have been adopted for more than three years, and enterprises and job seekers have a strong desire to communicate face to face. More importantly, since the beginning of the year, all kinds of enterprises have been busy with production and development, and the recruitment demand has increased greatly.

　　In addition to job fairs, Shanghai has also launched a new public recruitment platform online to build a "recruitment Taobao" for the market and job seekers, and will implement the "Shanghai Employment Promotion Regulations" on March 1 to provide legal protection for promoting high-quality and full employment.

　　In addition, Shaanxi, Hebei, Jiangsu, Xinjiang and other places have also started large-scale talent recruitment fairs in the spring, using online and offline forms to attract many enterprises and job seekers to enter the market, and the labor market has shown a booming supply and demand situation. Colleges and universities all over the country also actively carry out the "warm heart action" to promote employment, seize the spring recruitment period, and provide diversified employment guidance services for college graduates.

　　The analysis pointed out that since the beginning of the year, the level of macroeconomic prosperity has returned to the expansion range, driving the job market to heat up. In addition to consolidating existing employment and absorbing new jobs, we should also focus on the labor demand brought about by the expansion of service industry and industrial upgrading, and create more jobs for the flexible employment population of about 200 million.

Tickets are sold out, venues are full, and the performance market is booming.

Recently, the offline performance market has recovered rapidly, many large-scale concerts have been restarted, and major theaters have also ushered in a long-lost lively popularity.

At 7: 30 on the weekend, at the entrance of this theater in Nanshan District, Shenzhen, many spectators are queuing to enter. That night, a Chinese version of Broadway musical will be staged. The person in charge said that more than 1000 tickets have all been sold out.

In fact, one or two months after the Spring Festival is usually the off-season of the performance market. At present, a variety of offline performances including concerts, dramas, music festivals and talk shows have been staged one after another, and the performance market has ushered in a "good start".

Vigorous China Tourism Market is gradually picking up.

The catering industry is accelerating its recovery, and recently, the tourism market is gradually picking up. Not only the domestic tour after the Spring Festival is full of excitement, but also the consumers and practitioners in the outbound travel market are full of expectations.

Since the tourism recovery this year, the main scenic spot of Huanglong in Sichuan has received more than 102,000 tourists, an increase of more than 400% year-on-year. In Xiasi Ancient Town, Kaili, Guizhou, after the Spring Festival, the tourist flow in the scenic spot is still unabated, and the parking lot is full of tourist cars from all over the country.

Since China’s pilot restoration of the national travel agency’s business of outbound group tourism, the outbound tourism market has gradually warmed up. The market is constantly picking up, and some travel agencies have experienced a "shortage of tour guides". However, with the return of previous tour guides and the addition of fresh blood, this situation is gradually improving.

Philippine: Baguio holds Flower Festival and expects China tourists to return.

Not only domestic travel agencies are well prepared, but also various outbound destinations are using various ways to attract tourists from China.

Baguio City is located in the northern part of Luzon Island, Philippines, with a cool and pleasant climate. Local tourism practitioners expect China tourists to return to the Philippines as soon as possible.

China’s resumption of outbound travel has a positive impact on global tourism.

Recently, the United Nations World Tourism Organization also announced that the resumption of outbound travel in China has had a positive impact on the recovery of global tourism. Before the COVID-19 outbreak, China was the largest tourism market in the world. The recovery of domestic tourism in China will create a linkage effect for other economic sectors and bring greater vitality to China and even the global economy.
