BEIJING: China announced on Tuesday that two days will be added to the public holiday calendar next year, taking the total to 13.
The Chinese authorities have typically banked on extended breaks as a way of boosting consumer spending and this is a particular concern at present amid faltering growth and a strategy of boosting domestic consumption to help the economy. The Spring Festival holiday will be extended from the previous three days to four days, including the eve of the Chinese Lunar New Year on Jan 28, while the May Day holiday will be increased from one day to two days, with May 2 newly added, according to the latest measures.
For example, for Spring Festival, Jan 26 and Feb 8 will be the make-up days. People will need to report to work on both of these days, which will allow them to enjoy a longer holiday period of eight days instead of just the four.
