14/4/2004 17:34
With tourism information now being made available, travelers in Shanghai
during the upcoming May Day holiday can have advanced information and avoid the
crowds, the Shanghai Morning Post reported today.
For the first time,
Shanghai will broadcast tourism information during the weeklong May Day holiday,
including figures for sales of railway and air tickets, occupancy rates of
trains and planes, and traffic at tourist destinations, according to the
Shanghai Tourism Administrative Commission yesterday.
Initially the
information will be released for tourist destinations such as the Oriental Pearl
Broadcasting and Television Tower and the Oriental Green Boat Park.
The
Oriental Pearl Broadcasting and Television Tower will use TV monitors and
bulletins at the ticket booths and elevators to provide tourism information.
Many favorite tourist spots will also use a system to control passenger flows,
such as limiting ticket sales on the basis of the availability.
The
information will also include possible natural disasters, epidemics and other
dangers likely to threaten personal and property safety, according to the
commission.
