How does China's western development promote the development of tourism in the western region?

The first China East-West Tourism Expo was held in Xi 'an in April 2000. One of the main reasons why Shaanxi Province can attract 18 provinces, autonomous regions, municipalities directly under the Central Government and the State Administration of Light Industry to jointly undertake the project is that the horn of China's western development has sounded, thus contributing to the first grand event of China's tourism in the new millennium. With the implementation of China's western development, the tourism industry in western China has shown outstanding advantages and broad development prospects. The topic of China's western development promoting the development of tourism in western China is unprecedentedly hot. Compared with the developed coastal areas, the western part of China is still quite backward in economy and culture, but as far as tourism is concerned, the western part of China has vast territory, magnificent mountains and rivers, cultural relics, scenic spots, strange mountains and strange waters and folk customs, which are all potential tourism resources. Xiao Jincheng, a well-known regional economist, pointed out when commenting on the large-scale development of western China that the western region of China should be developed step by step and at different levels, and a place should recognize its own "family background". For example, one advantage of Xi is high technology, and the other is tourism. Xi's tourism is unique in China and can be compared with Beijing. Not only tourism, but also the development of the tertiary industry led by tourism has great potential. Its international reputation is no less than that of Beijing, and even exceeds that of Beijing. "The general idea of China's western development has created conditions for the great development of tourism.

In his government report, Premier Zhu Rongji said that at present and in the future, we should focus on five aspects: speeding up infrastructure construction, effectively protecting and building the ecological environment, developing industries with distinctive advantages, vigorously developing science and technology education, and opening wider to the outside world, all of which are closely related to the foundation and environment for the great development of tourism. Infrastructure is the first factor that restricts the development of the western region. Therefore, during the Tenth Five-Year Plan period, the investment in the construction of transportation hub projects such as railways, highways and waterways and the construction of infrastructure such as power generation and communication in western China will reach hundreds of billions. The State Planning Commission announced that it will invest 600 million treasury bonds in infrastructure construction of tourist attractions in poor western areas. These particularly favorable news undoubtedly sent an important guiding signal, which will certainly promote the great development and integration of tourism in the western region, thus gradually transforming the resource advantages of tourism in the western region into industrial advantages and providing impetus for the overall economic development in the western region. It can be said that with the rapid development of various constructions, China's western development has also set up a huge stage for tourism. The western provinces of China responded quickly. Chongqing, a young municipality directly under the central government, announced at the Chongqing Three Gorges International Tourism Festival held in June 2000 that it would take effective measures to actively strive for and make good use of treasury bonds, organize experts and business personnel to further refine the treasury bonds to be implemented, strive to combine tourism investment projects with treasury bonds, effectively manage the flow of treasury bonds, and track, supervise and inspect the use of treasury bonds. Gansu, on the other hand, said that Gansu's tourism industry will not wait for state investment, but will attack in all directions and attract investment through multiple channels, such as issuing lottery tickets for tourism capital construction. Xinlu will focus on the infrastructure construction of new scenic spots and new lines with distinctive features. Since May 2000, with Urumqi as the leader and the Silk Road as the main body, we have accelerated the development of eco-tourism areas focusing on Kanas Lake and ancient cultural sites focusing on Turpan. Ningxia said that the lack of infrastructure is a "bottleneck" that seriously restricts the rapid development of tourism in Ningxia, and the support funds will be mainly used for infrastructure construction such as road traffic in tourist areas. Tourism resources with peculiar landscape and rich resources are the "cash cow" with high hopes in the western region of China, but it needs careful care and cultivation to make this sapling thrive. Some experts pointed out that the development of tourism in western China must proceed from the local reality, highlight the characteristics of resources, and determine the development ideas that are in line with the local reality. According to the requirements of industrialization, resource development and market promotion should be carried out simultaneously, but we should prevent rushing headlong into it at the expense of the ecological environment. Vitality comes from the fertile soil of the market. Today, China's tourism product development and marketing promotion are in a new period of adjustment and upgrading. How to adapt to the market to launch new products, how to expand cooperation and give full play to joint advantages, how to promote sales and increase customers, etc. , has become a major topic in the industry.
