The snow crisis that hit China over the Spring Festival period had a devastating effect on tourism in those provinces worst hit by the snowstorms, with revenues down nearly a third compared with last year.

The seven worst-hit provinces, including Guizhou, Hunan, Anhui, and Hubei completely or partly ceased tourism businesses. Tourism earnings during the Spring Festival were down 29.75 percent, compared with last years holidays, Shao Qiwei, director of National Tourism Administration (NTA) said at a disaster relief work conference.

Preliminary figures showed the storms have cost Chinas tourism industry 6.97 billion yuan (about 968.1 million U.S. dollars), said Shao.

Some 15,800 tour groups have been cancelled since mid-January, totaling 300,000 passengers. About 60,000 of the tourists were on in-bound tours while 240,000 planned for domestic travels, statistics from NTA showed.

According to NTA statistics, 9.73 percent less people travelled the 19 snow-hit provinces over the week-long holidays, with tourism revenue there down 11.47 percent over the same period of last year.

春節(jié)期間，雪災(zāi)襲擊了我國部分省市。在受雪災(zāi)襲擊最嚴(yán)重的省份，當(dāng)?shù)氐穆糜螛I(yè)由于雪災(zāi)受到了毀滅性的影響。與去年同期相比，這些地區(qū)的旅游收入縮減了將近三分之一。

受災(zāi)最嚴(yán)重的七個省份，包括貴州、湖南、安徽和湖北的部分或全部停止了旅游活動。春節(jié)期間旅游業(yè)收入與去年同比下降了29.75%。國家旅游局局長邵琪偉在一次救災(zāi)工作會議上如是說。

他說，據(jù)初步的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字顯示，全國旅游業(yè)因雨雪冰凍災(zāi)害經(jīng)濟(jì)損失約69.7億元，約9.681億美元。

國家旅游局的統(tǒng)計(jì)顯示，自元月中旬以來，旅游退團(tuán)1.58萬個，共計(jì)30萬人。其中入境旅游約6萬人，國內(nèi)旅游約24萬人。

19個受災(zāi)省區(qū)市春節(jié)黃金周旅游接待人數(shù)下降了9.7%，旅游收入與去年同期相比下降了11.47%。
