Can I travel across provinces on May Day? Do I need to make an appointment for the scenic spots?

In 2000, people all over the world were worried about the COVID-19 epidemic. Although the epidemic situation in China has been basically controlled and has begun to return to normal life, it still needs strict prevention. For the upcoming May Day holiday, many friends want to go out to play, and many people are asking, can May Day be used for inter-provincial tourism?

It is forbidden for teams to travel across provinces.

In response to the Guiding Opinions of the Central Leading Group on Actively and Orderly Promoting the Work of Resuming Work while Effectively Preventing and Controlling the COVID-19 Epidemic, the Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism said that "cross-provincial cross-border tourism will not be resumed for the time being" means that travel agencies cannot organize cross-provincial cross-border tourism, not that tourists cannot travel out of the province, but that tourists are not encouraged to travel out of the province at this stage.

Public transport protection

The Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism reminds tourists to be vigilant and protect themselves. Take public transport such as airplanes and trains, observe the order and management requirements, wear masks at all times, do a good job in hand hygiene, and properly keep the bills for enquiry. Line up in order in the scenic spot, keep interpersonal distance and pay attention to cough etiquette. Stay in a hotel with good sanitary conditions, and pay attention to window ventilation. If you have symptoms such as fever, dry cough and fatigue during the trip, you should go to a medical institution nearby. In terms of diet, we should also pay attention to reducing the number of meals when taking transportation. If you eat in a restaurant, it is recommended to sit at a distance or eat on the same side, keep a distance of more than one meter from others, and advocate the use of public chopsticks.

Book a trip

According to the Notice of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Health on Doing a Good Job in Epidemic Prevention and Control and Safe and Orderly Opening of Tourist Attractions, during the epidemic prevention and control period, only the outdoor areas of tourist attractions will be opened, and indoor places will not be opened for the time being. The number of tourists received in the scenic spot shall not exceed 30% of the approved maximum carrying capacity. The notice requires that tourist attractions should establish and improve the reservation system, implement time-sharing tour reservations, guide tourists to enter the park at intervals and travel during peak hours, and strictly limit the number of tourists who pick up tickets and purchase tickets on site. It is recommended to make an appointment at least one day in advance, preferably three days in advance to avoid disappointment.

In addition, if you want to travel freely during the May Day holiday, you must pay attention to some local policy requirements! For example, Lugu Lake Scenic Area in Liangshan, Sichuan stated that it only accepts Sichuan tourists, so it is necessary to understand the tourism policy of the destination epidemic and the relevant management implementation regulations of the destination scenic area before traveling. No reservations, no travel!
