Discuss the economic and cultural characteristics and development potential of Guizhou.

Guizhou is a multi-ethnic province with rich cultural resources of ethnic minorities and broad tourism prospects. In Guizhou, ethnic festivals of different types and sizes are deleted twice a year; Many ethnic communities have their own unique ethnic architecture. Many tourist attractions with cultural relics attract Chinese and foreign tourists. In particular, the rich cultural connotations and colorful folk customs of ethnic minorities in Guizhou are unique in the whole country and even in the world, and they have unique communication channels with the outside world. Among the key cultural tourist attractions in Guizhou, most of them are unique to Guizhou, such as the unique national architecture of all ethnic groups in Guizhou, numerous local specialties, delicious restaurants, historical celebrity culture, Guizhou dragon culture, Miao and Dong original ecological culture, beach culture, Yangming culture, strange stone culture, Tunpu culture and so on. The inheritance and development of these national cultures, coupled with the unique karst scenery, have built the soul of Guizhou's tourism culture, making Guizhou's mountains and rivers full of rich cultural atmosphere and becoming unparalleled advantageous tourism resources.

Guizhou is rich in cultural resources of ethnic minorities, and tourism products featuring culture have broad development prospects and huge market potential. However, the tourism industry in Guizhou started late. In the past, people knew little about the minority culture in Guizhou. After the reform and opening up, people from all walks of life at home and abroad come to Guizhou for sightseeing every year. Since the 1980s, Guizhou's rich and colorful national culture has been recognized by people in more and more countries. Cappella, a multi-voice Dong nationality, made his debut in Paris, causing a shock. Miao's wooden drum dance leapt to the world stage from the fields deep in the mountains, which was wild and uninhibited, and was called "Oriental Disco"; Miao costumes are called "wordless history books" because of their exquisite craftsmanship and rich cultural information bearing functions. The Liuzhi Suoga Miao community has built the first ecological museum in China because of its unique and well-preserved culture. Local operas and Nuo operas, which are called "living fossils of drama" by the international drama community, have attracted great attention from experts and scholars at home and abroad. Colorful national festivals attract more and more people with their rich customs and rich connotations. In the specific geographical environment of Guizhou Plateau and mountainous areas, all ethnic groups have inherited their own traditions, accumulated for hundreds or even thousands of years, and created rich and colorful cultures. They are interrelated and independent, and the experience, wisdom and information base of each culture cannot be completely replaced by other cultures. All these have laid a good foundation for the development of ethnic cultural tourism in Guizhou.

Compared with other provinces, the cultural resources of ethnic minorities in Guizhou are underdeveloped. Secretary Shi Zongyuan said in his report: "Underdevelopment refers to the current level of resource development and utilization. The rich energy, minerals, biology, climate, tourism, culture, manpower and other resources in our province have not been scientifically and effectively developed and utilized. " Indeed, in the protection and development of Guizhou's ethnic cultural resources in recent years, most of them have not been developed, and some of them have a very low degree of development. Underdevelopment shows that we have potential to tap. As Secretary Shi Zongyuan pointed out: "Underdevelopment is not only the crux of underdevelopment, but also the potential to achieve a historic leap." Therefore, Guizhou ethnic areas should vigorously develop ethnic cultural tourism, take ethnic cultural tourism as a new economic growth point, and form a pillar industry for economic development in ethnic areas. The development of ethnic cultural tourism in Guizhou not only produces the economic benefits of tourism itself, but also has the social and economic benefits of prospering Guizhou and enriching the people, which is an important part of building a harmonious Guizhou. Due to the rapid development of tourism in Guizhou in the past two years, Vice Premier Wu Yi said: China should visit Yunnan in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, Sichuan in the Tenth Five-Year Plan and Guizhou in the Eleventh Five-Year Plan. On the one hand, it shows that the status of Guizhou tourism is improving, on the other hand, it also shows that the development potential of Guizhou tourism is very great.

In recent years, a series of publicity and promotion activities with the theme of "Colorful Guizhou" have aroused positive repercussions throughout the country with unique creativity, novel methods and generous operation, and the tourism industry in the province has maintained a rapid growth trend. Focusing on the shaping of the cultural brand of "Colorful Guizhou", in March 2005, Guizhou held the first "Colorful Guizhou" singing contest of "Huangguoshu" Cup, launched a number of outstanding works such as Dong folk songs and Miao flying songs, and selected a number of literary and artistic talents. More importantly, it sang the voice of the people of Guizhou, the passion of Guizhou to speed up the development of the western region, the motivation of Guizhou to enrich the people and prosper Guizhou, and the new situation of people of all ethnic groups building a harmonious Guizhou; In 2005 10, Guizhou created a large-scale national song and dance poem "Colorful Guizhou Customs" based on some excellent songs of the "Colorful Guizhou" singing contest. In April, 2006, he was invited to perform in the "Meet Beijing" international gala and won the third national minority art performance award. He toured in 17 cities nationwide and achieved economic and social benefits. On June 5438+ 10, 2006, the 2006 "Colorful Guizhou" Tourism Image Ambassador Selection Competition was held. Taking advantage of the finals held by Guizhou Jiali in Beijing, Hong Kong, Shanghai, Guangzhou and other places, we publicized our rich and colorful cultural tourism resources and characteristics, displayed Guizhou's unique national culture, and greatly enhanced the attractiveness of Guizhou's cultural tourism industry; Hold "two competitions and one meeting", namely "Colorful Guizhou" tourism commodity design competition, tourism commodity skillful craftsman selection competition and tourism commodity exhibition conference. A large number of exquisite national handicrafts and national "stunts" deeply hidden in the people were displayed on a large scale. Through the "two competitions and one meeting", the level of cultural tourism commodities in Guizhou has been improved, a number of cultural tourism commodity brands with characteristics and market competitiveness have been formed, and a number of skilled craftsmen have been cultivated. Through the development of several activities in the past two years, the cultural orientation of colorful Guizhou has gradually been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and widely recognized by the society. The broad masses of cadres and people in Guizhou have experienced cultural experience and thought, enhanced their recognition of Guizhou culture, and further strengthened their ambition and confidence in promoting Guizhou's economic and social development to achieve a historic leap. In 2007, Guizhou continued to extend and strengthen the propaganda theme of "Colorful Guizhou", and launched more than 30 harmonious urban and rural tours, rural tours, flower viewing tours, adventure tours and festival tours. All year round. "Colorful Guizhou" is gradually recognized by the outside world, forming a certain brand appeal and improving the popularity of Guizhou. It has created a good public opinion atmosphere and external environment for the accelerated development of Guizhou tourism, and played an important role in promoting the rapid development of Guizhou tourism.

By developing rich tourism and cultural resources in ethnic minority areas, setting up economic entities and boosting local economic growth with the help of tourism, ethnic minority areas and their people can quickly get rid of poverty and become rich. Compared with other poverty alleviation methods such as "credit poverty alleviation" and "folk poverty alleviation", developing ethnic cultural tourism is a brand-new and efficient way to help the poor. It has its theoretical basis: from the industrial characteristics of tourism, tourism is a typical resource-based industry, and the premise of its development lies in tourism resources; As a highly related economic industry, it can drive market demand, establish the overall image of the region, drive logistics, capital flow, information flow and new concept flow, thus driving the economic development and prosperity of relevant departments and the whole region; Its labor-intensive industrial characteristics can bring more employment opportunities to ethnic minority areas, thus solving the problem of abundant labor in ethnic minority areas. In addition, as a window industry, the development of tourism can strengthen exchanges with the outside world, enhance understanding and promote investment attraction. It can be seen that the proposition of national cultural tourism development is not artificial, but determined by the essential characteristics of tourism as an economic industry. Because of this, in the Ninth Five-Year Plan for Tourism Development in China and the Outline of 20 10 Long-term Goals, the National Tourism Administration regards poverty alleviation through tourism as an important work agenda, and clearly puts forward "to strengthen the development of tourism resources in the central and western regions with good resource conditions and good market prospects, so as to promote the economic development of these regions through tourism". In the overall planning of the country's western development, developing tourism is also a top priority. Therefore, it can be believed that tourism poverty alleviation will play a greater role in narrowing the gap between the east and the west and helping the "old and poor" areas get rid of poverty and become rich.
