Discussion keeps the world turning.
This is round table.
Have you noticed your friends and co workers are going on vacations one after another?
In the peak of summer, it's customary for people to take a break, go traveling and shopping, and simply enjoy a moment in life with family and friends.
And it seems like a great moment for businesses, too.
Hello, I'm Lai Ming and this is roundtable.
Today with new hauling and Brenton Yates, we find out what's new and what's popular this summer.
So making plans for the summer can be a headache and a big deal for many families.
Some people start making plans one year ahead, trying to book tickets and hotel stays and maybe looking into potential choices or tutorials or training camps or I anything that the market has to offer for their children.
So why is it a big deal?
Well, in China, when you start a family, when you start having kids, you started plan with the kids perspective in your plan as well.
So previously I didn't think about summer vacation as a big deal because it's not my vacation.
I am not leaving work for two months yet with a kid.
It is basically the kind of really long time, quality time you can spend with your kidde.
For many parents, they would take their annual leave during this period of time and taking their kids out for certain trips so that they can spend time together.
How long is the summer break for kids in China?
The summer break for kids in China lasts for around 30, well, actually 60 days, whereas the winter break lasts for 30 days.
So that's quite a long summer break.
Quite a long time.
I know the US also has long summer breaks, I think.
