SHANGHAI, Oct. 6 -- Spanning over 20 days, the 34th Shanghai Tourism Festival boosted consumption and promoted tourism in eastern China's metropolis, said the Shanghai Municipal Administration of Culture and Tourism on Friday.

During the tourism festival from Sept. 16 to Oct. 6, Shanghai recorded over 38.46 million tourist trips and visits, with a total of 88.66 billion yuan (about 12.35 billion U.S. dollars) spent on tourism-related activities, up 13.5 percent year on year.
