Beijing to issue 3 million yuan in vouchers to promote spending

Beijing plans to distribute spending vouchers totaling 3 million yuan ($420,400) throughout September and October, as well as hold over 20 premium consumer activities on the sidelines of the 2025 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) from Sept. 10 to 14.

The vouchers can be used for accommodation as well as food and beverages at more than 300 restaurants and over 20 hotels.

Beyond the 13 spending activities at Shougang Park, 12 additional promotional events will be held across western Beijing, including a lantern show in Shijingshan district and a color run in Fengtai district.

During the CIFTIS, people holding movie ticket stubs can expect to redeem more discounts at participating merchants. Now, around 200 businesses across six major commercial districts are already offering discounts.

CIFTIS will also further integrate culture, tourism, sports, and business by hosting events such as a foreign trade product tour, a camping fair, and coffee and candy carnivals. Sports events like a parkour competition and a basketball tournament will also be organized.

In addition, the Beijing Fashion Week and China Fashion Week will feature new product launches and flash shows at iconic locations including Shougang Park and the 798 Art District.
