A PROPOSAL at the annual legislature meeting to prolong Spring Festival and May national holidays has been hailed by many Netizens.
Ma Yuanzhu, a congress delegate and president of a tourism company in southwest China's Sichuan Province, suggested that the Spring Festival break should be prolonged to 14 days from seven and the May 1 holiday from four to seven days.
Ma said if his proposal was passed it would provide great stimulus for the tourism industry.
A survey conducted online showed 60 percent of respondents welcomed the longer-holiday suggestion.
For example, some office workers in big cities said a longer May break would mean it is easier to visit their parents at far-away hometowns.
