The lengthy holidays have caused unexpected great travel craze and brisk economic activities. The so-called “holiday economy” has many advantages. First, tourism-based holiday economy will promote consumption and 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.
But there are still some debates over its benefit. Some people hold that it brings undeniable problems. First, the travel craze puts a heavy burden on the traffic system, causing serious traffic jams. Besides, hundreds of thousands of tourists flood into scenic spots, jamming railway stations and airports, causing some overcrowdedness and safety problems. Therefore, we shouldn’t neglect the new problems.
However, generally speaking advantages of holiday economy far outweigh its disadvantages. After all, it does good to getting our country to buy and greatly benefits our overall economy. The problems can be easily solved as long as the government takes effective measures to deal with them.
