Do you know the difference between a characteristic town and a tourist town?

As a characteristic town with great similarity to the ancient town, it first pays attention to production and life, followed by culture and tourism, which are only derivatives of production and life in the characteristic town.

Forward-looking Industry Research Institute, the planning agency of characteristic towns, believes that characteristic towns are mainly characterized industries and emerging industries, which are different from the innovation and entrepreneurship platforms of administrative towns and industrial parks; The purpose is to promote the coordinated development of large, medium and small cities and small towns, and give play to the role of urbanization in the construction of new countryside; Promote the development of small towns and relieve the functions of central cities in big cities, and combine them with the development of characteristic industries and the service of agriculture, countryside and farmers; Form a number of new small towns with distinctive, dynamic and competitive high-end elements, emerging industries and modern service industries.

For small towns with tourist characteristics, tourism products and industries are the most important. First of all, there should be core tourist attractions in or near the town area, and then design products and arrange the format around tourism and related culture. Of course, this format is also dominated by leisure tourism. For a tourist town, it is not only the gathering and integration of tourism industry, but also its unique cultural charm, which is also an important element of a characteristic town.
