Discount coupons worth hundreds of millions of yuan are to be handed out in a bid to boost tourism in Shanghai's Pudong New Area.
The coupons, offering a total of 900 million yuan (US$132 million) in discounts, will be issued from tomorrow, and officials said the coupons could bring in 5 billion yuan of spending on tourist attractions in the district.
The coupons will be in 310,000 pamphlets to be distributed to local residents and people living in neighboring Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces.
The discounts, offering from 20 to 40 percent off, cover 12 scenic spots, 29 hotels, 32 restaurants and nine travel agencies.
The pamphlets will also serve as a tourism guide, with articles on Pudong's attractions, and the coupons can be used from May to August.
Pudong will distribute the coupons at tourism consulting centers and banks in the city and the two provinces. The district government will also offer the coupons to credit card holders in the city and the two provinces.
