Holidays, for many people, are a rare time of rest in life. When busyness becomes the norm in urban life, holidays become a precious time for people to escape from the hustle and bustle and find themselves. The New Year's Day holiday in 2024 is approaching, and according to the notice of the *** General Office, there will be a total of three days off from December 30, 2023 (Saturday) to January 1, 2024 (Monday), and there will be no compensatory holidays. The release of this news undoubtedly brought an unexpected surprise to the majority of workers.
However, the arrival of the New Year's Day holiday also triggered me to think deeply about China's holiday system. Why can't the New Year's Day holiday be free of charge like traditional festivals such as the Spring Festival and Qingming Festival?Why do we always face the embarrassing situation of road congestion and overcrowding in scenic spots during holidays?This is not only a problem at the institutional level, but also reflects our misunderstanding of our perception and expectations of the holiday.
In my opinion, the road of change of Chinese holidays is actually a transformation process from singular to diverse, from traditional to modern. In the past, our holiday system was more based on the product of the planned economy era, which was characterized by centralization, unity, and a lack of flexibility and individuality. With the in-depth development of the market economy, people's needs and cognition for holidays are also undergoing profound changes. We are no longer satisfied with simple rest and relaxation, but seek deeper spiritual satisfaction and personal experiences.
It is in this context that China's holiday system has begun to gradually transform into a diversified and personalized one. Take the New Year's Day holiday in 2024 as an example, although it is only a short three days, it is much more than rest. For many, it's a great time to reunite with family and friends. And for those who love to travel, the New Year's holiday is a great opportunity to explore new places and experience new cultures.
But we must also recognize that no institutional change can happen overnight. Although China's holiday system is gradually improving, there are still many problems. For example, the holiday schedule is too concentrated, the carrying capacity of tourist attractions is insufficient, traffic congestion and so on. These problems not only affect the quality of people's holiday experience, but also restrict the development of tourism to a certain extent.
In the face of these problems, we need to take a series of measures to solve them. **More attention should be paid to the balanced distribution of holidays and avoid excessive centralized arrangements. At the same time, the management and planning of tourist attractions should be strengthened to improve their carrying capacity and service quality. In addition, we should also establish a correct concept of vacation, avoid blindly following the trend and excessive consumption, so that the holiday can truly become a precious moment for us to relax and improve ourselves.
In short, China's holiday system is in a critical period of change and transformation. Only through continuous innovation and improvement can we better meet the people's growing needs for a better life. The advent of the New Year's Day holiday is a new starting point, which not only gives us a chance to rest, but also allows us to see the future and hope of China's holiday system. Let's look forward to a better holiday era together!
