The Golden Week is the People’s Republic of China’s most extended holiday, and it's running from 1 to 7 October 2024. Golden Week is the biggest week for tourism in China when people have a week off to reunite with families and take trips. Securing reliable, on-time freight shipments and deliveries during peak holidays is especially 𝗰𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 during this time of the year in Asia. With the pre-Golden Week rush usually starting three to four weeks before the main event, many companies tend to speed up their production process to transport goods in and out of China before the public holiday. The higher demand for transportation puts 𝗮𝗱𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲 on 𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗮𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, 𝗶𝗻𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗶𝗿 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁, and other logistics services, causing an 𝗶𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗹𝗶𝗸𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗴𝗼 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆𝘀.

🌹🌹🌹 At the risk of sounding trite, maybe all of us should stop and smell the roses more. We spend a lot of time tilling and sowing, but rarely do we harvest what we’ve sown. More on this in a future post. We decided this is the year of roses. After decades of working without pause, our little family is taking a (literal) trip around the world. Star Alliance - a group of airlines including Singapore Airlines - offered a round-the-world ticket. The conditions are that you fly only in one direction, not more than a certain number of stops, not too many stops per country - and you get to circle the globe. I went ahead and booked this in January. I’d been hoarding miles since 2016, waiting for some magical moment when I’d use them. Time to harvest. Our 53 day round-the-world started this week. And the timing was magically perfect because just this week Singapore Airlines announced that it would 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘂𝗶𝗻𝗴 redemption of miles from May 1. We JUST made it before the deadline. 🇸🇬🇯🇵🇺🇸🇩🇰🇸🇪🇦🇹🇹🇭🇸🇬 I’ll keep reporting back if SIN>TOK>LAX>DEN>NYC>BOS>CPH>ARN>VIE>BKK>SIN with a 4-yr old was a good or bad idea 👀.

🎆 We wish a great Golden Week to all our colleagues and partners in China, just enjoy and have fun! 🎆 ✨ The origins of Golden Week in China are rooted in a combination of the country’s historical, cultural, and political developments. ✨ 🎉 Creation of the Golden Week (1999): In 1999, the Chinese government extended the National Day holiday to seven days to boost domestic consumption and encourage tourism. This was part of economic reforms aimed at stimulating the economy, particularly in the service and tourism sectors. By allowing people more time off, the government hoped to give citizens opportunities to travel, spend money, and enjoy leisure time, which would, in turn, benefit businesses and the overall economy. 📈 💰 Economic Stimulus: The idea behind the week-long holiday was to create "golden" periods of spending. The government expected that the increased leisure time would promote both domestic consumption and travel, bolstering the country's rapidly growing economy. 💵 💶 💸 💷
