Cctv newsAccording to the website of China Consumers Association, with the approach of the Spring Festival in 2023, it is expected that there will be a wave of Spring Festival travel rush tide and consumption tide all over the country. China Consumers Association warmly reminds consumers that simple, moderate, green and low-carbon consumption patterns should be advocated in the peak consumption season; Pay attention to the epidemic situation before traveling and do personal protection; When buying new year’s goods, we should identify the consumption trap and safeguard our own rights and interests.
Rational choice, moderate consumption
As the most important traditional festival in China, the Spring Festival focuses on the atmosphere of reunion, peace and celebration, rather than creating extravagant, extravagant and wasteful scenes. The so-called "surplus every year" means that there is surplus grain and money in the warehouse every year, rather than creating waste. To this end, consumers are advised to continue to carry forward the traditional virtues of thrift during the Spring Festival, buy gifts, food, firecrackers and other new year goods in moderation, and consciously resist waste. Consumers, whether cooking at home or dining out, should order food moderately and practice the "CD Action"; In the choice of gifts, we should give priority to outstanding intentions and blessings, not blindly pursue the "face project" of high price and heavy packaging, and abandon the wind of excessive packaging of goods; Fireworks should be set off legally and in compliance, personal safety should be paid attention to in areas where the ban is lifted, and relevant regulations should be observed in areas where the discharge is prohibited.
Do a good job of protection and travel safely
With the adjustment of epidemic prevention and control policies, the Spring Festival travel rush tide will reappear in the Spring Festival this year. According to the preliminary forecast of the Ministry of Transport, the passenger traffic in Spring Festival travel rush in 2023 will greatly increase compared with 870 million in 2021, and will even exceed 1.48 billion in 2020. Many consumers will choose to go home for the New Year by plane, high-speed rail, coach and other means of transportation, and consumers plan to travel during the Spring Festival holiday. In this regard, consumers should fully understand the rules and requirements for returning and changing flights and trains at different time periods before purchasing tickets, and make reasonable arrangements to avoid affecting the itinerary or disputes. It is best for consumers to fully evaluate their health status before going out, and choose activities with appropriate intensity according to the evaluation results. Wear a mask during the trip, reduce the number of meals, pay attention to hand hygiene, and try to keep a certain distance from others. For special groups such as the elderly, pregnant women and patients with basic diseases, high-intensity activities should be avoided and personal protection should be done.
Identify traps and strengthen prevention.
In the Spring Festival consumption tide, merchants will offer various discounts for promoting goods and services, so consumers need to keep their eyes open and safeguard their rights and interests. First, we should pay attention to food safety when choosing new year’s food. When consumers buy food in the New Year, they should make sure that the merchants have business qualifications, and do not buy "three noes" products without the name of the production enterprise, production date and factory address. At the same time, they should carefully read the important information such as the production date, shelf life and storage conditions of food packaging, and store them scientifically and eat them in time. The second is to be rational in the face of business discounts. Consumers should try their best to buy goods in qualified shopping malls, supermarkets and e-commerce platforms, and keep shopping vouchers such as invoices, electronic orders and payment pages, and take screenshots of chat records and product promotion information with merchants. The third is to prevent prepaid consumption from running away. When making prepaid consumption, don’t recharge a large amount at one time, try to sign a written contract with the merchant, carefully review the terms of the contract, and clarify the scope of use, expiration date, function, card withdrawal conditions and liability for breach of contract of the prepaid card. The fourth is to strengthen the protection of personal information. In the process of consumption, personal information should be protected. It is unnecessary not to tell sensitive information such as mobile phone number, home or work address, property status, etc., and not to scan QR code and click on unknown links at will.
A good consumption environment is the premise to boost consumer confidence. China Consumers Association calls on operators to uphold the principle of honest management, consciously resist all kinds of bad marketing methods, put quality first, and provide consumers with inexpensive products and services. China Consumers Association reminds consumers not only to consume rationally and wisely, but also to take protective measures to ensure safety. I wish consumers all over the country a safe, happy, peaceful and happy Spring Festival!
