SHANGHAI, July 18, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- A news report
from english.shanghai.gov.cn:
Shanghai has issued guidelines
for the construction of luggage storage facilities and related
services in public places in response to concerns raised by
domestic and international visitors who feel burdened by carrying
luggage while traveling in the city.
The guidelines were formulated by the Shanghai Commercial
Association under the guidance of the Shanghai Municipal Commission
of Commerce.
This initiative coincides with the launch of Shanghai's first "Shanghai Summer"
International Consumption Season, which aims to provide a more
convenient, efficient and safe luggage storage service for both
domestic and international visitors.
The guidelines encourage and support the development of luggage
storage services towards standardization, professionalism, chain
operation, and platform operation. They are to be applied in major
commercial areas, shopping streets, as well as surrounding areas of
major cultural and tourist sites, sports venues, transportation
hubs and nearby commercial outlets.
Currently, there are 395 designated points across the city's
commercial sector that offer luggage storage services. This number
is expected to increase to 500 by the end of July.
The guidelines, which are based on customer flow analysis and
identified needs, emphasize the establishment of luggage storage
service points that are tailored to the specific location.
Efforts are underway to achieve complete coverage of eight
international consumer hubs – East Nanjing Road, Middle Huaihai
Road, Yuyuan, West Nanjing Road, Lujiazui, Xujiahui, North Bund,
and Hongqiao International Central Business District.
To ensure clear communication, signage for luggage storage
services must be bilingual in Chinese ("行李寄存") and English ("Left Luggage").
Depending on the location, appropriate formats of luggage storage
should be selected, such as a focus on smart luggage lockers in
large commercial complexes and a mix of chain stores and
street-side shops in other locations.
The guidelines also emphasize the importance of clearly
informing customers about prohibited items, fees, service hours,
maximum storage periods, service procedures, precautions, emergency
protocols, and detailed locker dimensions for smart luggage storage
lockers.
