The Ministry of Public Security has called for the utmost efforts of Chinese police at all levels to crackdown on tourism-related crimes during the upcoming National Day holiday.
The holiday period is one of the country's major tourism weeks, during which many people travel to tourist destinations across the country.
In a notice released on Saturday, the ministry said that it will join hands with related departments to strengthen the supervision and patrol of tourist sites and tourism facilities in a bid to weed out "hidden dangers."
Hard strikes will be given to activities including pornographic activities, gambling, drug taking, forced buying and selling, swindling and squeezing, and maltreatment of tourists at scenic spots, according to the notice.
Violations of public security, including theft, explosions and unexpected accidents, must be guarded against, and extra efforts should be made to seize illegal guns and explosives, the notice added.
The National Day which falls on October 1 each year was first officially prolonged to a week-long holiday in 1999. The National Day holidays have become a "golden week" for the economy with more people being encouraged to travel across the country.
During the last National Day holidays, Beijing alone reported a total 4.32 million visitors.
