Will tourism become an important "label" of the city?

In the 20 18 China city business charm ranking released in April this year, Chengdu ranked first among 15 "new first-tier" cities. As the capital of Sichuan Province, Chengdu has multiple identities at present: a center of science and technology, commerce and finance, an important transportation and communication hub in southwest China, an important national central city, a city in the midwest with the most international routes, an excellent tourist city in China and the most happy city in China. Apart from these "identities", Chengdu is most talked about by people for its tourism "labels", pleasant climate, countless natural landscapes, amusement places and former residences of culture, ranking among the six food capitals in the world, attracting many tourists who "don't want to leave when they come". The "national treasure" giant panda has fans all over the world.

Dongguan, which is famous for its manufacturing industry, is called "the factory of the world". In recent years, it has actively sought industrial transformation and upgrading. Since 20 17, Dongguan has been on the list of "new first-tier cities" for two consecutive years, and the rising tourism industry has become the highlight of its development. According to statistics, Dongguan has 2 1 national A-level tourist attractions, including 4A-level tourist attractions 15 and 26 four-star hotels, ranking third in Guangdong Province. Building a cultural tourism brand of Humen, the port of China in modern history, has been written into the work report of Dongguan Municipal Government. In the future, it will be an important development goal for Dongguan to build a super cultural tourism IP and an international business and leisure tourism destination.

It can be said that Chengdu and Dongguan represent the tourism development characteristics of the cities in this list, and the "old" tourist cities are juxtaposed with the "new star" cities. Some analysts pointed out that in the "new first-tier" cities, people's living costs are relatively small, and they can bear higher tourism consumption, which is more conducive to the growth of local tourism economy and the upgrading of tourism industry.
