ABSTRACT: This paper investigates implementation of Workers Paid Annual Leave Regulations, and also analyses
whether and how this regulation affects tourism consumer behaviors. The author
designs questionnaires and administers them to 5884 subjects distributed
throughout 7 regions in China to collect primary objective data about the
situation of paid vocation and tourists’ behaviors. Based on data analysis, this
research concludes that the regulation has not been implemented successfully,
that people have more paid days off, they have more leisure travel and higher
satisfaction with travelling, and that people who work for state-owned
enterprises and public institutions enjoy more paid days off than those migrant
workers and employees of private enterprises. It is therefore recommended that
the Central Government should take three effective measures to promote
implementation of paid leave regulations.
