Latest COVID-19 prevention and control plan announced: Inbound travelers' quarantine changed to 7 days isolation and 3 days home monitoring.

To further guide local areas in their prevention and control of novel coronavirus pneumonia, and based on the experience gained since the release of the "Prevention and Control Scheme for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (Eighth Edition)", particularly in light of the rapid spread and strong concealment of the Omicron variant, the Joint Prevention and Control Mechanism of the State Council for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia has revised the "Prevention and Control Scheme for Novel Coronavirus Pneumonia (Ninth Edition)". This scheme fully implements the overall strategy of "preventing imported cases and rebounding domestic cases" and the overall policy of "dynamic zero-COVID", effectively protecting the lives and health of the people, and coordinating epidemic prevention and control with economic and social development to the greatest extent. The main revisions compared to the eighth edition include: 1. Optimization and adjustment of the isolation management period and methods for risk personnel The isolation and control time for close contacts and inbound personnel has been adjusted from "14 days of centralized isolation medical observation + 7 days of home health monitoring" to "7 days of centralized isolation medical observation + 3 days of home health monitoring". Nucleic acid testing measures have been adjusted from "nucleic acid testing on days 1, 4, 7, and 14 of centralized isolation medical observation, collecting nasopharyngeal swabs, and double sampling and double testing before release from isolation" to "nucleic acid testing on days 1, 2, 3, 5, and 7 of centralized isolation medical observation and on day 3 of home health monitoring, collecting oropharyngeal swabs". Double sampling and double testing are no longer required before release from centralized isolation medical observation. The control measures for close contacts of close contacts have been adjusted from "7 days of centralized isolation medical observation" to "7 days of home isolation medical observation", with nucleic acid testing on days 1, 4, and 7. 2. Unified standards for the delineation of sealed and controlled areas and high- and medium-risk areas The standards and prevention and control measures for the two types of risk areas have been aligned, and the concept of high- and medium-risk areas is now uniformly used, forming a new scheme for the delineation and control of risk areas. High-risk areas implement a "no-exit, door-to-door service" policy, and are downgraded to medium-risk areas after 7 consecutive days with no new infections. Medium-risk areas are downgraded to low-risk areas after 3 consecutive days with no new infections. In other areas, personnel with a history of travel to high-risk areas within the past 7 days will be subject to 7 days of centralized isolation medical observation. Medium-risk areas implement a "no-exit, staggered collection" policy, and are downgraded to low-risk areas after 7 consecutive days with no new infections. In other areas, personnel with a history of travel to medium-risk areas within the past 7 days will be subject to 7 days of home medical observation. Low-risk areas refer to other areas in the county (city, district, banner) where medium- and high-risk areas are located, and implement "personal protection and avoidance of gatherings". In other areas, personnel with a history of travel to low-risk areas within the past 7 days are required to complete 2 nucleic acid tests within 3 days. 3. Improved epidemic monitoring requirements The frequency of nucleic acid testing for high-risk occupational groups has been increased. Nucleic acid testing for personnel in direct contact with inbound personnel, goods, and the environment has been adjusted to once a day, and nucleic acid testing for personnel in high-density, frequent contact, and high-mobility occupations has been adjusted to twice a week. Antigen testing has been added as a supplementary means of epidemic monitoring. Primary-level medical and health institutions can increase antigen testing for suspected patients and for personnel in high- and medium-risk areas during epidemic response. 4. Optimized regional nucleic acid testing strategy Clear nucleic acid testing schemes for different population sizes have been defined. For provincial capital cities and cities with a population of over 10 million, general cities, and rural areas, the source of infection after an outbreak, the existence of community transmission risks, and the clarity of the transmission chain are comprehensively assessed. Based on the level of risk, the scope and frequency of regional nucleic acid testing are determined according to a graded and classified principle. News Source | CCTV News

Get free Expo tickets; New trends in sports tourism from the perspective of the Paris Olympics; Canada and many other countries reopen borders; Ministry of Culture and Tourism releases domestic tourism data for the first half of 2021...

Following the Tokyo Olympics, France officially became the host country of the 33rd Summer Olympics and Paralympics on August 8. The "Paris 8 Minutes" performance, a prelude to the games, showcased the French flair for romance. The Paris Olympics will be held not only in traditional sports venues, but also in the city's renowned architectural heritage and landmarks, combining innovative forms with traditional sporting events. For example, the opening ceremony will be held on the Seine River, beach volleyball at the foot of the Eiffel Tower, archery at Les Invalides, cycling on the Champs-Élysées, fencing and taekwondo at the Grand Palais, equestrian events at the Palace of Versailles, triathlon at the Pont Jena, skateboarding at Place de la Concorde, and surfing in Tahiti. This will create a new viewing experience and strongly promote post-Olympic tourism. (Source: PinOrange Tourism) "For a sport, to a city!" Sports tourism becomes a new consumption trend The Data Center of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and Mafengwo Travel jointly released the "China Sports Tourism Consumption Big Data Report (2021)". The data shows that the era of mass sports tourism has arrived! Before the epidemic, the number of people participating in sports tourism increased by 40% annually; in 2020, the total number of sports tourists reached 1 billion, and the total consumption of sports tourism exceeded 1 trillion yuan; in the first half of 2021, the search popularity of "sports tourism" increased by 115% year-on-year; from June 13 to July 13, the popularity of the keyword "travel + sports" on the Ctrip platform increased by 235% month-on-month. The epidemic made people realize the preciousness of health, and the demand for high-quality life has led more people to integrate their sports hobbies into travel, thus promoting sports tourism consumption. Domestically, popular island activities such as diving, surfing, and paragliding have quickly propelled Sanya to the top of the list of popular sports tourism destinations; Beijing, the "Double Olympic City," ranks second. Internationally, the Nara Marathon in Japan, with its "maple leaves in full bloom season, running with Nara deer," has become a distinctive marathon in the running circle; Aspen Snowmass in the United States is popular because it frequently hosts the Ski World Cup finals, serves as a training base for the US Winter Olympics, and hosts the X Games, the FIS Freestyle Ski and Snowboard World Championships, and other international events. It is evident that major sporting events can significantly enhance the attractiveness of national tourism and city brands. Today, the sports tourism industry chain, dominated by participation and viewing, is gradually becoming complete. 2021 was the year of major events such as the Tokyo Olympics, the European Cup, and the America's Cup, and it was also the sprint year for the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics and the Qatar World Cup, ushering in a new peak in the development of sports tourism.

In the post-epidemic era, Saudi Arabia continues to promote electronic tourist visas, and tourists from countries including China can apply for visas online and will be provided with free medical insurance for those affected by COVID-19, truly deserving its reputation as a wealthy nation with the world's second-largest oil reserves! It is also worth congratulating Saudi Arabia: On July 31, at the 44th World Heritage Conference held in Fuzhou, China, the Ḥimā Cultural Area in Najran Province was officially inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
