端午节假期首日掀起的消费热浪给旅游、娱乐、交通和餐饮行业都带来了利好，专家指出这将有助于推动我国的经济复苏和增长。

Tourist destinations across the country were flooded with millions of visitors taking advantage of the three-day holiday, according to data released by various localities.
各地数据显示，端午三天小长假期间，全国各地旅游景点人潮涌动。

Xu Hongcai, deputy director of the economic policy committee at the China Association of Policy Sciences, said that the holiday travel spending spree is further evidence that the tourism sector is recovering after the country fine-tuned its COVID-19 response measures in January.
中国政策科学研究会经济政策委员会副主任徐洪才指出，假期旅游消费热潮进一步证明，自从今年1月份我国优化新冠防控措施以后，旅游行业正在复苏。

More importantly, the holiday tourist boom has shed light on the resilience and strength of the world's second-largest economy and will factor in the nation's overall economic recovery efforts this year, Xu said.

According to China UnionPay Merchant Services, food and beverage spending increased by more than 20 percent year-on-year in the past seven days.
中国银联商户服务平台的数据显示，过去一周食品饮料消费同比上涨超20%。

Zhou Maohua, an analyst at China Everbright Bank, said that the government should roll out more policy measures, such as issuing discount coupons, to sustain robust consumption momentum after the holiday.
中国光大银行分析师周茂华表示，政府应推出更多政策措施，比如发放折扣券，来保持假期后消费的良好势头。

In the face of weakening external demand and sluggishness in the global economy, China needs to fully tap the potential of its domestic consumption to shore up its economic growth this year, he added.
他指出，面对外部需求疲软和全球经济低迷的现实，中国需要充分挖掘国内消费潜力来支撑今年的经济增长。
