China provides important impetus for innovative development of global tourism industry (International Forum) China | Tourism | Development
Currently, rural tourism has become a new trend in the development of global tourism industry. China regards the development of rural tourism as an effective way to eliminate poverty. I have visited China multiple times and witnessed the continuous improvement of rural infrastructure in China. China is the world's second largest economy and one of the largest tourism markets. The number of tourism consumers is constantly increasing, and the demand for tourism in the market is becoming increasingly diversified, which provides a good foundation for the development of rural tourism in China.
China has achieved the significant achievement of eliminating absolute poverty and is focusing on promoting rural revitalization. Developing rural tourism will help achieve this goal. In rural China, we see that the inclusiveness, balance, and sustainability of China's economic and social development are constantly increasing, and different groups are receiving more balanced development resources. Starting from 2021, the United Nations World Tourism Organization will hold the "Best Tourist Village" selection event, hoping to promote rural development through the development of tourism industry, which is in line with China's concept of promoting rural revitalization. Currently, four villages from Zhejiang, Anhui, Guangxi, and Chongqing in China have been successfully selected as the "Best Tourist Countryside", showcasing the excellent rural landscape of China.
In the past few years, the global tourism industry has suffered a serious impact due to the COVID-19 epidemic. In the process of addressing challenges, the tourism industry in various countries places greater emphasis on exploring local tourism resources. In the post pandemic era, promoting the recovery of the tourism industry requires greater emphasis on sustainability and fairness, strengthening innovation, and active support and participation from government, society, and the public. The Chinese government has been committed to improving infrastructure construction and attaches great importance to improving the tourism market environment. The Chinese tourism industry is continuously improving its service level and increasing investment in various aspects such as human resources, infrastructure, and technology. From a more macro perspective, China has provided important impetus for the innovative development of the global tourism industry.
Every time I visit China, I can intuitively feel the positive changes that have occurred in the Chinese tourism industry. In addition to big cities that tourists from various countries are already very familiar with, such as Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou, cities like Guilin with picturesque landscapes have also left a deep impression on me. Guilin not only boasts beautiful natural scenery, but also has cultural projects with strong local and ethnic characteristics. Cormorant fishing is a typical example. This was once the production and lifestyle of local fishermen, but now it has become a unique performance that provides a unique experience and is welcomed by tourists.
China is the world's largest tourist source country, and many countries are actively welcoming Chinese tourists. This reflects the world's confidence in China's economic recovery. In recent years, the segmentation of China's tourism market has become increasingly evident, and personalized and diversified tourism has become an important trend. This has stimulated the potential of the Chinese tourism market, adding vitality to the development of the global tourism industry and economic recovery.
China's development and progress have a significant impact on the world, and we believe that China will provide more opportunities for the global tourism industry to strengthen innovation and achieve sustainable development.
