Affected by this, the A-share travel-related sector generally fell on the 19th.

In the early trading on the 19th, the A-share travel sector fell. The China Securities Travel Theme Index fell 1.1%, and has fallen 3.2% since the beginning of this year. As of the close, hotel, catering, travel, and airport stocks all fell.

In addition, according to mainland media news, as of 12:00 on the 19th, the epidemic had spread to seven provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, namely Shaanxi, Ningxia, Inner Mongolia, Gansu, Hunan, Guizhou, and Fengtai, Beijing. These provinces, cities, and autonomous regions have responded to the epidemic by means of containment and control.

On the 19th, the Gansu Provincial Government of the Communist Party of China required the four cities of Lanzhou, Jiuquan, Jiayuguan, and Zhangye to close cultural and tourism business premises and business activities. 40 A-level tourist attractions in Lanzhou City will be temporarily closed from 12 o’clock that day. The specific opening time will be notified separately; At the same time, all travel agencies in Gansu Province are required to stop inter-provincial tourism business.

“21st Century Business Herald” reported on the 19th that Gansu cultural tourism presses the pause button, and cultural tourism across the country is suddenly chilled. Frequent “tourism groups” (people infected with the epidemic) appear in epidemic reports, which undoubtedly worsens the tourism market. The report quoted an analysis by a tourism expert as saying, “If it is not necessary to leave the province or even the city,” it means that long-distance tourism cannot be restored in the short term.

Previously, starting on the 18th, Xi’an temporarily closed a number of scenic spots, and some hotels were temporarily closed; Ejina Banner in Inner Mongolia was closed for 48 hours from the 18th, and all scenic spots were closed.

In response to this wave of epidemics, the authorities first reported the confirmed cases on October 16th. They were 7 members of a tour group. The tour group set out from Shanghai from October 9th to 15th for self-driving travel to Gansu, Inner Mongolia and other places.

However, the source of the infection is still unknown. Moreover, since the CCP’s continued concealment since the outbreak of the epidemic has been questioned by the international community, the true situation of the epidemic is currently unknown.

At this time, shortly after the end of the long holiday in early October in the mainland, the data center of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the Communist Party of China announced that during the holiday period from October 1st to 7th, there were 515 million domestic tourists on the mainland.
