Hubei province will offer access to nearly 400 A-level tourist attractions across the province through the end of the year, local authorities said at a news conference on Friday.

"To revive the tourism industry that has been marred by the COVID-19 epidemic, as well as in return for the nationwide support for the province amid the epidemic, we decided to promote a free ticket policy to all tourists across the country," said provincial deputy governor Zhang Wenbing at the conference. "As attractions in the province are gradually reopening, we have received groups of tourists from 10 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, giving us great confidence in a rapid revitalization."

To safeguard public health, tourist sites should require reservations and limit visitors to no more than 50 percent of their daily capacity.

Tourists are required to show their health QR codes, wear masks and have their temperatures checked before entering.
