我國明年將為游客升級改造2.1萬間公廁

 China plans to build or renovate about 21,000 toilets at tourist destinations next year, said the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.

文化和旅游部表示，中國計劃明年在旅游景區(qū)建造或翻新約2.1萬個廁所。

The move is part of the "toilet revolution" ongoing in China's tourist industry since 2015 that bids to provide tourists with modern and clean toilets.

此舉是自2015年以來中國旅游業(yè)進(jìn)行的“廁所革命”的舉措之一，旨在為游客提供現(xiàn)代、干凈的公廁。

Announced at a conference held in south China's Guangdong Province last Saturday, the ministry said the country built or upgraded nearly 24,000 restrooms for tourists this year, including about 15,000 in its less-developed central and western areas.

上周六，在中國南方廣東省舉行的一次會議上，文化和旅游部稱，今年國家為游客建造或升級了近2.4萬個公廁，其中包括在欠發(fā)達(dá)的中西部地區(qū)改造建立約1.5萬個廁所。

Between 2015 and 2017, China invested 1.64 billion yuan (about US$237.8 million) to install or renovate over 70,000 toilets for tourists, it said.

該部門稱，2015年至2017年間，中國投資了16.4億元人民幣(約合2.378億美元)新設(shè)或改裝了7萬多個旅游區(qū)公廁。

Advanced technologies have been used in the new toilets to improve their hygiene standards, save energy and water, and make them more accessible.

采用先進(jìn)技術(shù)的新型公廁有助于改善公廁的衛(wèi)生環(huán)境和節(jié)能節(jié)水，并且能夠讓游客更容易找到公廁。

For example, earlier this year, a mobile navigation app was launched to help tourists find nearby toilets in scenic areas, covering all 5A and 4A level scenic spots in China.

比如，今年早些時候推出了一款導(dǎo)航手機(jī)應(yīng)用，以幫助游客在景區(qū)就近找?guī)@款應(yīng)用的搜索范圍覆蓋了我國所有5A和4A級景區(qū)。

To boost domestic tourism, China aims to install or upgrade a total of 64,000 toilets for tourists from 2018 to 2020, according to a three-year action plan released by the government.

根據(jù)我國政府發(fā)布的“三年行動計劃”，為促進(jìn)國內(nèi)旅游業(yè)發(fā)展，我國計劃在2018至2020年間新建或翻新6.4萬個公廁，以供游客使用。
