On May 15th, it was learned from the Guizhou Provincial Taxation Bureau of the State Administration of Taxation that the bureau's value-added tax invoice data showed that during this year's May Day holiday, the consumer market in Guizhou Province was booming, with both online and offline activities recovering simultaneously. Cultural and leisure activities continued to heat up, and many local businesses and consumers jointly drew a "hot consumption map".
The synchronous recovery of online and offline is full of consumer enthusiasm. During the "May Day" period, department store retail and convenience store retail in the province increased by 36.1% and 47.1% respectively year on year, and Internet retail increased by 14.8% year on year. The demand for seasonal changes has driven a significant increase of 179.1% and 486.0% in retail sales of textiles and clothing, respectively, while retail sales of shoes and hats have grown by 554.5% year-on-year. Under the stimulus of "trade in" and subsidy policies, retail sales of communication devices such as smartphones increased by 46.0% year-on-year.
Shopping, eating, and playing have new highlights, driving consumption to heat up. Snack services and meal services increased by 114.2% and 18.4% respectively year-on-year, while coffee shop services increased by 232.6% year-on-year. Among them, Guiyang and Zunyi contributed 88.7% of the province's coffee shop invoicing sales. In terms of accommodation, economy chain hotels increased by 30.1%, and homestay services increased by 7.9%, reflecting tourists' new preference for both affordability and experiential experience.
Cultural leisure continues to heat up, unleashing consumer vitality. Travel agencies and related services, tourism and exhibition services increased by 113.6% and 79.1% respectively year-on-year, while leisure and sightseeing activities and amusement parks increased by 94.7% and 597.0% year-on-year. Literary and artistic creation, performance, fitness and leisure activities increased by 312.5% and 67.4% year-on-year, while retail sales of arts and crafts and collectibles increased by 61.1% year-on-year. Health and wellness services and foot bath services also increased by 382.2% and 41.7% respectively.
Tax data is a barometer of the economy. The invoicing data for this year's May Day holiday not only records the speed of recovery in our province's consumer market, but also reflects positive signals such as the upgrading of residents' consumption structure, the strengthening of experiential economy, and the deepening of cultural and tourism integration.
