Industry perspective: maintain the recommended rating of the industry. This week, the valuation of the consumer service industry was basically flat month on month, but the reappearance of the scattered epidemic in Zhejiang led to the suspension of inter provincial tourism. Affected by the Winter Olympics and the local Chinese new year, the consumer service industry is under pressure in the short term, but in the long term, covid-19 pneumonia shows an influenza trend. The epidemic situation is controlled. It is expected to gradually increase with the promotion of vaccines and the listing of specific drugs. The restrictions on inbound and outbound tourism are expected to be initially relaxed in the second half of 2022. In terms of tax exemption, migratory bird tourists have driven the rapid recovery of the number of civil aviation flights in Hainan, and the peak tourism season in Hainan has come. It is suggested to pay careful attention to the tax-free leader China Tourism Group Duty Free Corporation Limited(601888) (601888) with low current valuation due to the favorable consumption upgrading and consumption return in the medium and long term; Franchise stores account for a relatively high proportion, leading chain hotels with stable performance Shanghai Jin Jiang International Hotels Co.Ltd(600754) (600754), Btg Hotels (Group) Co.Ltd(600258) (600258), etc.
