The Ministry of Commerce held an on-site meeting on the construction of an international consumer environment in Shenzhen on March 26. The meeting pointed out that carrying out the construction of an international consumer environment is an important lever to boost consumption, an active initiative to expand high-level opening-up, and a specific measure to create the "Shop in China" brand. Each pilot city should tailor-make a number of international consumer gathering areas according to local conditions, enrich the supply of high-quality goods and services, innovate in commercial, tourism, sports, and health integrated consumption scenarios; vigorously develop outbound tax refunds, increase tax refund shops, enrich tax refund goods, and optimize tax refund services; improve the level of international services, and create a more convenient and comfortable consumption environment. It is necessary to strengthen overall coordination, manage funds well, enhance publicity and promotion, and ensure that pilot projects achieve practical results.
