Recently, the Ministry of Commerce and eight other departments jointly issued the “2026 Work Plan for Improving Service Consumption and Benefiting the People.” The “Work Plan” proposes 64 specific tasks and measures from six aspects: improving policy support, innovating consumption scenarios, building platform carriers, expanding opening-up, strengthening standard guidance, and optimizing the consumption environment. It focuses on traditional service consumption sectors such as catering and accommodation, elderly care and childcare, cultural entertainment and tourism, and sports and health, as well as new growth areas like housekeeping services, online audiovisuals, inbound tourism, and performance services. The plan aims to coordinate efforts from both supply and demand sides to create a batch of new consumption scenarios with broad influence and high visibility. (Ministry of Commerce)
