Cities across China are issuing vouchers to further lift consumption as the 8-day Golden Week holidays are right around the corner.
Guangzhou in South China's Guangdong Province started to issue batches of consumption vouchers worth 130 million yuan ($18.2 million) on Wednesday. The issuance is expected to end in December.
Residents in Guangzhou can obtain the vouchers at locations such as shopping malls and super markets, as well as online platforms.
Sichuan in Southwest China granted a second round of consumption vouchers that cover retail, dining, home appliances and sports starting from Tuesday through online platforms. They followed a first batch of consumption vouchers valued at more than 450 million yuan that were released at the end of August.
Sanya, South China's Hainan Province, also launched consumption packages worth more than 200 million yuan, covering hotels, catering and travel agencies.
