E-ticket satisfaction

A survey found that most Chinese travelers have embraced electronic air tickets, after paper tickets were abandoned a year ago.

About 66 percent of 4,000 Chinese agreed E-tickets were convenient, while only 2.5 percent disagreed.

The survey by ctrip.com, an online tourism service, also found nearly 80 percent of Chinese travelers bought E-tickets from large ticket agencies, and 15 percent from airlines directly.

Source of pollutants

The State Council has endorsed a regulation on pollutant sources nationwide.

The regulation, revealed yesterday, required a national survey of the distribution and number of various pollutant sources every 10 years.

A database will be set up with the information collected to serve as reference for enacting development, planning and environment policies.
