2014 Beijing Tourism Green Book-The situation of inbound tourism is not optimistic

In response to the heated discussion among netizens about "Dali introducing new regulations: prohibiting merchants from using candles during power outages", the Dali City Protection Administration in Yunnan Province responded on June 30 that the public had misunderstood the content of the relevant documents. As an additional clause of the upcoming "Dali Business Fire Safety Inspection Rules", the new regulations are guiding norms rather than mandatory requirements, and will not set artificial thresholds for merchants. Recently, media reports stated that the Dali City Protection and Management Bureau in Yunnan Province will start processing the Dali Business License from July 1st to further strengthen protection and management. However, the provision in the fire safety regulations that require merchants to "not use candles during power outages" has caused a lot of controversy. Some netizens expressed understanding, believing that most of them are wooden structures and some dangerous equipment should be prohibited; Some netizens also believe that this is a manifestation of "lazy politics" and cannot withstand scrutiny. On June 30th, the Dali Municipal Protection Management Bureau provided the controversial "Dali Business Unit Fire Safety Inspection Rules". The "Rules" establish strict regulatory standards for the installation of indoor electrical wires and electrical circuits, as well as the configuration of fire extinguishers and other fire-fighting facilities for internal business owners. The provision that business operators are not allowed to use candles during power outages appears in the additional clauses of the Rules. The additional clause also mentions that operators are not allowed to use honeycomb coal; Do not use electric stoves, electric heaters (small suns), or firewood for heating; Do not use liquid alcohol, charcoal fire, etc. as heating materials for hot pot, dry pot, etc. It is understood that the "Rules" apply to all business operators engaged in civil and commercial production and operation activities within the Dali Key Protection Area, and specify that merchants must strictly undergo fire safety inspections in accordance with the provisions of these Rules before they can apply for other licenses. This means that complying with the relevant requirements of the Dali Business Household Fire Safety Inspection Rules will be a necessary condition for merchants to obtain the Business License. Faced with the upcoming regulations, a merchant in Dali expressed that although they understand and support the protection work, is there a better way beyond the habitual practice of banning it? In response, the head of the Business Management Department of the Dali City Protection Management Bureau explained that the statement "candles are not allowed to be used during power outages" is a misreading of the document content. The additional clauses in the "Rules" are "flexible guidance" rather than "mandatory requirements", which are suggestions and advocacy for merchants in the next step of protection management work. "It's not about immediately banning it after it's proposed, but gradually guiding merchants to use less or no open flames such as candles. The specific operation will also be humanized, and the new regulations will not become a threshold artificially set for merchants," emphasized. It was also stated that issuing the "Business License" to business owners and implementing the "Dali Business Household Fire Safety Inspection Rules" are only means of standardized management, and are regulations developed based on drawing lessons from fires in multiple regions and conducting thorough investigations. The purpose and original intention of linking fire protection, environmental protection, public security, industry and commerce and other relevant departments with protection management departments is to better protect and manage.
