When was the Holiday Office established?

In the past, every holiday, we often saw the National Holiday Office hold a press conference to inform the holiday arrangement information. What kind of organization and administrative level is the National Holiday Office? Is there such an organization now?

I. Origin of the National Holiday Office The full name of the National Holiday Office is the Office of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Meeting on Holiday Tourism, which is a specialized institution established to adapt to the rapid economic development in China during the period of reform and opening up. In June 2000, the agency was formally established. With the appearance of this institution, China had his own long holiday for the first time-Eleventh Golden Week.

Since then, under the arrangement of the National Holiday Office, Chinese people have been caught in endless rest and compensatory rest for a long time. Every year they struggle for five holidays, 1, three holidays, three holidays, six holidays, seven holidays and two holidays, 1 and five holidays. Holiday arrangement is like a roller coaster, which makes people love and hate each other. For example, "God's Arrangement", "The Most Troubled Holiday in History" and "The Most Boring Holiday in History" emerge one after another, and the holidays are getting more and more tired. Many netizens complain that the holidays have not achieved the purpose of rest.

Under the pressure of public opinion, on June 20 13, 10, the National Holiday Office published the Questionnaire on Holiday Arrangements for Statutory Holidays on major portals to solicit opinions from the society. This is also the first time since the establishment of 13 that the organization has solicited opinions from the public on holidays. Results More than 60% of the voters were dissatisfied with the "current statutory holiday arrangements". Later, due to the "inspection of posts" by the people of the whole country on New Year's Eve and other holidays, the exposed consultation telephone was always occupied by the busy signal, and only the telephone on duty in the early morning was unblocked, which attracted the condemnation of the people of the whole country.

On September 5th, 20 14, the National Holiday Office was officially cancelled, and all its functions were merged into the newly established inter-ministerial joint conference system of the State Council tourism, ending its historical mission in many criticisms.

2. What level of organization is the National Holiday Office?

Although the National Holiday Office no longer exists, at that time, it was not very powerful to decide when the people of the whole country needed to listen to the chicken dance and sleep in because their duties involved the work and life of more than one billion people.

So, what level of organization is the National Holiday Office?

In fact, the national holiday office has no administrative level. It's just the National Inter-Ministerial Coordination Meeting Office of Holiday Tourism, which is a deliberation and coordination body established by the state to promote cross-regional tourism. The inter-ministerial coordination meeting consists of several departments, including the Propaganda Department of the CPC, the National Development and Reform Commission, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Transport, the Ministry of Commerce, the Tourism Bureau and nearly one third of the national ministries and commissions. The Inter-Ministerial Coordination Meeting Office (National Holiday Office) is located in the National Tourism Administration, with the director of the National Tourism Administration as the office director, the deputy director as the deputy director of the National Tourism Administration, and the members as the liaison officers of all units of the Inter-Ministerial Coordination Meeting. The staff were transferred from various departments by the office.

Because it is not a permanent institution and is not included in the three management sequences of the organization department, the national holiday offices, including the local holiday offices established in various provinces and cities at that time, actually have no independent office space, neither clear responsibilities nor independent administrative orders. Leaders and members are part-time, and they only get together when discussing holiday arrangements. Naturally, it is impossible to set a fixed organizational administrative level.
