Along with the “toilet revolution”, China should construct better public facilities and services to boost the tourism industry, the President added. The China National Tourism Administration launched an action plan last month to install or upgrade 64,000 toilets at tourist destinations across the country from 2018 to 2020.
The “toilet revolution” was launched in 2015 and China’s tourism industry has upgraded 68,000 toilets since then. Toilets at China’s tourist sites have a bad reputation, with visitors often angered by insufficient toilets, unhygienic conditions and lack of sanitation workers.
