Recently, Huo Qigang, a deputy to the National People's Congress, made a proposal that sparked widespread heated discussions in society. He proposed increasing the number of annual leave days for young people and making paid annual leave policy mandatory. In an article on March 5, Huo Qigang said that he believed that many mainland friends had seen his proposal to improve the paid annual leave system in news reports. Although there are regulations in place in the mainland to protect working hours and paid annual leave, the enforcement of these regulations is not strict and there is still room for improvement.
In order to enhance people's sense of well-being, promote the expansion of domestic demand, and accelerate the development of tourism into an important engine for promoting national economic growth, it is necessary to improve the leave system. This will not only alleviate the over-concentration of mainland people's travel and the dominance of short- and medium-haul tourism, but also unleash the travel consumption potential of young people, which will help enhance the competitiveness of the mainland's tourism industry and promote the balanced development of urban and rural areas in the long run.
First, increasing the number of annual leave days for young people can help improve people's well-being. With the development of society and economic growth, people are paying more and more attention to work-life balance. As the backbone of society, young people are increasingly in need of vacations. Giving young people more days of annual leave will enable them to better organize their leisure time, relax and improve their quality of life. At the same time, it also helps to alleviate work pressure, enhance the enthusiasm and efficiency of employees, and promote the long-term stable development of the enterprise.
Second, the mandatory implementation of the paid annual leave policy can promote the expansion of domestic demand. Young people are an important group of tourism consumers, and their demand for tourism products and services is growing day by day. However, due to the lack of annual leave days, many young people struggle to arrange long trips. If the paid annual leave policy can be enforced, so that young people can enjoy paid leave, then they will be more motivated to spend on tourism, promote the development of the tourism market, further stimulate domestic demand, and promote national economic growth.
In addition, improving the leave system is also of positive significance in alleviating the problem of excessive concentration of mainland people's travel and the dominance of short- and medium-haul tourism. At present, due to the limited number of annual leave days, most mainland citizens choose short- and medium-distance travel, resulting in overcrowding and uneven distribution of resources in some popular scenic spots. If the number of annual leave days for young people can be increased, they will have more time to choose long-distance travel, distract the pressure of tourism, reduce the overcrowding of popular scenic spots, and realize the rational use of tourism resources.

Finally, improving the paid annual leave system will help enhance the competitiveness of the mainland's tourism industry and promote the balanced development of urban and rural areas. The improvement of the vacation system can not only attract more domestic tourists, but also help attract overseas tourists to visit China. As the main force of tourism consumption, young people have higher and higher requirements for the quality and service of travel experience. If longer paid annual leave can be provided to meet the needs of young people for longer trips, it will make the mainland tourism industry more competitive in the domestic and foreign markets. At the same time, improving the leave system will also help promote the balanced development of urban and rural areas, promote the rational allocation of tourism resources, and achieve the coordination and win-win situation of urban and rural development.
In short, Huo Qigang's proposal to increase the number of annual leave days for young people and enforce the policy of paid annual leave has sparked heated discussions in society. This suggestion is of positive significance for enhancing people's sense of well-being, promoting the expansion of domestic demand, improving the vacation system, enhancing the competitiveness of tourism, and promoting the balanced development of urban and rural areas. * and relevant departments should take this recommendation seriously, strengthen the supervision and implementation of the leave system, ensure that young people can enjoy paid annual leave reasonably, achieve work-life balance, and promote the healthy development of society.
