National Standard on Scenic Spot Peak-Crowd Response Opens for Public Comment

Key points

• The draft national standard "Specification for Responding to Peak Visitor Periods at Tourist Attractions" has been published on the National Public Service Platform for Standards Information for public comment.
• The draft applies to safety control, resource allocation and service optimization at various tourist attractions during peak visitor periods.
• Response levels are based on the ratio of real-time on-site visitors to daily maximum capacity: 80% to below 90% is Level 3 (yellow), 90% to below 95% is Level 2 (orange), and 95% and above is Level 1 (red).
• For downgrade and release, the level should be lowered when real-time visitors stay below the lower threshold of the current level for 30 consecutive minutes, and the response state should be released when they stay below 80% of daily maximum capacity for 30 consecutive minutes.
