What is the approval process of tourism development projects?

The approval process of tourism development projects is different from that of real estate development projects, that is, it cannot be said to be more complicated, but many tourism developers themselves are confused or complicated. As an important part of tourism project development, it is worth writing some personal practical experience to share with you.

First, make a planning scheme or apply for a project.

In order to get the project, many developers immediately thought of making a planning plan first. There is no planning scheme, I don't know how to do it, how to set up a project? Yes, the point of this question is to make a good plan before applying for the project. Is this correct?

Let's refer to the information needed for the establishment of real estate projects:

Go through the land formalities for transferring state-owned land to the Bureau of Land and Resources;

During the land formalities, the land reserve center shall go to the Planning Bureau to handle the planning conditions;

Engineering consulting institutions with engineering consulting qualifications prepare project application reports;

Engineering consulting institutions with energy-saving assessment capabilities prepare energy-saving assessment reports;

Go through the examination and approval procedures of environmental impact assessment in the Environmental Protection Bureau;

Go to the Seismological Bureau to make comments on seismic safety evaluation;

Go to the competent department of the project industry to handle the industry review opinions;

Application documents for the establishment of the project unit;

Business license and organization code certificate of the project unit.

Among the materials required for this project, Articles 1 and 2 require land formalities and planning conditions. Many tourism development projects, especially the construction projects of tourist attractions, cannot handle land procedures and planning conditions.

Because many tourism development projects collectively use farmland, orchards, private plots, woodlands, grasslands, homesteads, barren hills and wasteland, state-owned woodlands/forest farms, pastures, barren hills and wasteland, waters and so on. Even in nature reserves and scenic spots, it is not within the scope of urban construction land planning and is not fully implemented in accordance with the Urban and Rural Planning Law.

For example, in the nature reserve where the forestry department is in charge, it is impossible to go to the competent department of land and resources for examination and approval of construction land, and it is impossible to go to the National Development and Reform Commission for examination and approval according to the required project examination and approval process, not to mention the accurate information required for the above projects.

However, it does not mean that tourism development projects do not need to be submitted for approval, but that different approval processes should be found according to different projects.

Therefore, the discussion of "planning scheme or project application first" should be decided according to different departments where different land is located, and the departments in charge of project approval should also choose different project approval processes accordingly.

However, this paper mainly analyzes the tourism development projects in special land areas such as non-nature reserves, scenic spots, state-owned forest farms/farms/pastures according to the approval process of tourism development projects in non-restricted industry projects of the National Development and Reform Commission for reference.

2. What materials should be prepared for the project application?

A problem has not been completely solved. By asking the question of "what materials should be prepared for project application", the problem can be solved by combination. This question is put forward on the premise that the application for approval of tourism development projects should be carried out in accordance with the approval procedures of non-restricted industries of the National Development and Reform Commission. First, the NDRC has restrictions on the scale of investment. General investment scale does not exceed100000 yuan (different in different regions), directly prepare the project application form and submit the project introduction.

Can file a case; For projects with an investment scale of more than 6,543,800,000 yuan (limited to different regions), according to different investment scales, engineering consulting institutions with corresponding engineering consulting qualifications are required to prepare feasibility study reports. If the general investment exceeds 654.38+000 billion yuan, the engineering consulting qualification above Grade B is required (Grade A engineering consulting qualification is universal in China). Secondly, different investment scales need to be reported to the Development and Reform Commission at different administrative levels for approval.

To apply for a general tourism development project, it is necessary to hire an engineering consulting agency with engineering consulting qualification to write a feasibility study report of the project, which shall be submitted by the competent tourism department to the National Development and Reform Commission and other relevant departments. The specific materials to be submitted include:

Project units (enterprises) put forward the project application report;

The feasibility study report of the project compiled by an engineering consulting institution with corresponding qualifications;

Opinions of the tourism authorities on project approval;

Opinions on project planning and site selection issued by the competent department of city planning administration where the project is located;

Pre-examination opinions on the project land (forest land and sea area) issued by the department of land and resources (forestry and marine fishery);

Approval opinions on environmental impact assessment of the project issued by the environmental protection department;

Energy-saving assessment report (engineering consulting qualification required) or fill in the energy-saving registration form of fixed assets;

Business license and other information.

Among the materials required for the application of the above-mentioned tourism development projects, "opinions on project planning and site selection issued by the competent department of urban planning administration where the project is located" and opinions on project site selection are required. If there is no planning scheme, the project can be established without submitting the overall planning scheme. Therefore, it is not said that the project can be established only after the planning scheme is completed.

However, in practice, for the land for tourism development projects that are not within the scope of urban and rural planning cities/towns, the general developers will first make a planning scheme, so that the overall planning scheme or conceptual planning scheme can be reported to the government based on this planning scheme, and the local government and its subordinate departments will examine and approve it according to the planning scheme.

Reflecting on the above procedures, I think that the preparation of master plans for many tourism development projects is not the responsibility of tourism developers, but the responsibility of the government. However, the government has no incentive mechanism for planning, but tourism developers promote the planning, because tourism developers need to plan if they want to invest in land development.

For example, for the Millennium Queenstown project mentioned above, it is unreasonable to report the overall planning scheme of this area in the name of tourism developers for this 10,000 mu of land, involving state-owned forest land, barren hills and wasteland, waters and collective cultivated land, private plots and village homestead. According to the latest urban and rural planning law, land use must be implemented in accordance with the plan. Without planning, it is impossible to talk about whether the site selection of construction projects meets the planning requirements.

Therefore, the overall planning of the project should be compiled by a tourism planning and design agency with tourism planning qualification at or above the corresponding level, and the requirements of the overall planning should be combined with the application of tourism development projects.

Three. Which tourism development projects need to prepare feasibility study reports?

According to the above, not all tourism development projects need to prepare a feasibility study report, but depends on the competent department of the land where the project is located, the nature of the project land, the project construction content and the investment scale.

In the world natural heritage, cultural heritage protection areas and nature reserves, except for sightseeing facilities and a small number of tourism service facilities, construction projects are generally not allowed. Therefore, no project has applied to the National Development and Reform Commission for approval, but the construction content is approved by the corresponding competent department. In practice, there are also projects such as building reception facilities and ropeways in the above-mentioned protected areas, and the investment scale of more than 6,543,800 yuan generally needs to be reported to the county-level development and reform commission for approval or filing.

The investment scale of more than 30 million yuan or more than 50 million yuan (different provinces have different investment scale requirements) needs to be declared to the competent department of the Municipal Development and Reform Commission. More than 654.38 billion yuan or 300 million yuan, should be approved by the provincial development and Reform Commission.

The approval procedures for the establishment of scenic spots, tourist resorts, key cultural relics protection units and national A-level tourist attractions generally refer to the approval procedures for non-restricted industry projects stipulated by the National Development and Reform Commission. If the general investment scale is more than 30 million yuan or 50 million yuan, it will be approved by the Municipal Development and Reform Commission. If the investment scale is more than 65.438+million yuan but does not exceed the approval requirements of the higher-level development and reform commission, it will be approved by the county-level development and reform commission, which exceeds 654.38+billion yuan or 300 million yuan.
