As the May Day holidays approach and Chinese people prepare to flock to tourist sites, the debate has arisen again about whether to have compensatory working days to allow for longer holidays, or just to rest on the official holidays.
On Monday, hashtags like "Stop compensatory working days" ranked high on the search list on Sina Weibo, with people expressing their dissatisfaction with the current policy.
Wu Bihu, a professor and director at the Tourism Research and Planning Center at Peking University, told the Beijing News that adjusting the holiday policy has been discussed at an official level and he has attended some of the sessions, but no new plans have yet been made.
