春节假期娱乐休闲类消费成申城零售业增长主力   2016-02-15

 

ENTERTAINMENT has become a main source of Shanghai's retail sales growth during the Spring Festival holiday as people were busy with seeing movies, going exercising or touring around, according to the Shanghai Commission of Commerce.

Service providers of entertainment including cinemas, gyms and travel agencies reported their income between January 31 and February 13 jumped 19.6 percent from a year earlier, much higher than the average retail sales growth of 8.2 percent during the period.

"People pay more attention to the quality of how they spend the holiday, and it is now a time for better relaxation and enjoyment," said Hao Jie, an official at the commission.
