The determination to get rid of difficulties, the confidence to recover

The promulgation of "Several Policies" can be described as the "warmest spring breeze" since the "cold winter" of tourism, with unprecedented strength, which has injected strong confidence into the recovery and development of tourism, and given real help to enterprises in expanding market operation space, increasing financial support, focusing on reducing operating costs, accurately implementing prevention and control measures, and optimizing tourism development environment.

Under the current situation, how to reduce pressure and increase vitality, taking into account current bail-out and long-term development? Several policies give clear answers.

At present, inbound and outbound tourism has not recovered, inter-provincial tourism is often "integrated", tourism market demand is insufficient, and enterprises lack income sources. It is generally reflected in the industry that if the operation cannot be effectively carried out, no matter how to reduce the cost control fee, it is still impossible to get rid of the dilemma of "sitting on the mountain". In response to the expectations of the industry, the "Several Policies" clearly stated that government agencies, enterprises and institutions should be encouraged to entrust travel agencies with the formulation, organization and coordination of trade union activities and exhibition activities that meet the requirements. At the same time, when the government is required to purchase these services, it is necessary to strictly implement the provisions on the amount of expenditure, and the participation of relevant enterprises in government procurement is not limited by star rating and ownership. It not only provides support for travel agencies and star-rated hotels affected by the epidemic to expand their markets and operate stably, but also further removes obstacles for related tourism enterprises to participate in market competition on an equal footing in the future.

In view of the widespread shortage of funds in tourism enterprises, the "Several Policies" strengthen the precise "drip irrigation" of financial policies, guide banks to increase their inclination to difficult industries, especially service industries, and continue to promote the financial system to reduce fees and make profits. While continuing the inclusive finance policy, we will encourage banking financial institutions to reasonably increase the effective credit supply for tourism, guide financial institutions to increase credit input for key tourism enterprises, and encourage banking financial institutions to increase their support for market players in the tourism field through inclusive finance and microfinance. In addition, the "Several Policies" will consolidate and popularize the successful practices of financial support for culture and tourism market players in recent years, clearly put forward to establish and improve the financing demand bank of key tourism enterprise projects and small and medium-sized micro-tourism enterprises, establish the financing risk prevention and control mechanism of key enterprises, give full play to the positive role of cultural and tourism financial service centers, encourage qualified tourism enterprises to issue corporate credit bonds, improve the accuracy of financial support, and strive to alleviate the financing difficulties of tourism enterprises.

At the same time, the "Several Policies" put forward a series of inclusive policies and special measures to help enterprises reduce costs, such as adding and deducting service value-added tax, expanding the scope of application of "six taxes and two fees", continuing to reduce some social insurance rates in stages, increasing the proportion of small and medium-sized enterprises returning to work, reducing the rents of small and micro enterprises and individual industrial and commercial households in the service industry, and implementing phased deferred unemployment insurance and industrial injury insurance policies for tourism enterprises, covering tax reduction and fee reduction, stable job returns, rent reduction and so on. The policy combination will effectively alleviate the financial pressure of tourism enterprises and reduce the operating burden of enterprises.

The recovery and development process of tourism is closely related to the epidemic situation. The "Several Policies" also clearly put forward the accurate implementation of epidemic prevention and control measures, demanding that the two tendencies of "relaxing prevention and control" and "excessive prevention and control" be resolutely prevented and avoided, and further put forward the "three noes" requirements for accurate prevention and control of the service industry. At the same time, according to the characteristics of the service industry, it is required to establish a special working mechanism to reflect, verify and correct the problems existing in the epidemic prevention and control measures, which provides a mechanism guarantee for effectively restoring and maintaining the normal order of tourism development and stabilizing business expectations.

Tourism is a comprehensive industry, involving food, housing, transportation, shopping, entertainment and other aspects, and is closely related to catering, retail and transportation. The "Several Policies" included these industries in the scope of assistance and launched a series of special assistance policies. Although these policies have not directly benefited tourism enterprises, they have alleviated the difficulties of related industries by exerting the policy integration effect and industrial synergy effect, and also enhanced the supply capacity of tourism elements, which is helpful to further enrich the product supply, enhance the tourist experience, stimulate the vitality of the industry, create a good environment conducive to tourism travel, and promote the accelerated recovery and development of tourism.
