Policy Interpretation of the State Council's Opinions on Accelerating the Development of Tourism

First, relax the access to the tourism market, break down industry and regional barriers, simplify examination and approval procedures, encourage social capital to participate in the development of tourism fairly, and encourage enterprises of various ownership to invest in tourism according to law.

Policy analysis: The purpose of this policy is to form a unified tourism market in China through reform, and to mobilize all social forces to participate in the development and construction of tourism from the overall situation. With the spirit and courage of reform, local tourism departments should re-sort out and examine the problems existing in eliminating industry and regional barriers. If the tourism department can solve it, take the time to solve it as soon as possible. If it cannot be solved by the tourism department alone, we should strive for the support of the local party Committee and government and actively coordinate with relevant departments to solve it.

The second is to promote the reorganization of state-owned tourism enterprises, support the development of private and small and medium-sized tourism enterprises, support the cross-industry, cross-regional and cross-ownership mergers and acquisitions of various enterprises, and cultivate a number of competitive large-scale tourism enterprise groups.

Policy analysis: This policy aims at promoting all kinds of tourism enterprises to become bigger and stronger in an all-round way, and improving the overall market competitiveness of tourism enterprises and the overall quality of the tourism industry. The policy fully takes into account the long industrial chain and wide coverage of the tourism industry, and puts forward the cross-industry, cross-regional and cross-ownership mergers and acquisitions of various enterprises, which is conducive to promoting the formation of a number of large-scale tourism enterprise groups with market competitiveness. All localities should further promote the reform and reorganization of state-owned tourism enterprises in accordance with this policy requirement, and promote state-owned tourism enterprises to enter the market as soon as possible through necessary support and guidance; Increase support for small and medium-sized enterprises, strengthen supervision and management, and explore more ways to support small and medium-sized enterprises with excellent qualifications, outstanding business performance and great market potential.

Three, support all localities to carry out comprehensive tourism reform and special reform pilot, and encourage qualified places to explore the integrated management of tourism resources.

Policy analysis: This policy aims to encourage local governments to carry out tourism reform experiments with a broader vision, sum up experience from them, and promote the overall reform pace of tourism. Areas that carry out comprehensive tourism reform and special tourism reform should further explore and practice boldly, and promote the reform practice with more practical measures; In areas where comprehensive economic and social reforms are carried out, the tourism sector should strengthen coordination with party committees, governments and relevant departments and incorporate more contents of tourism reform into comprehensive reforms; Conditional areas should actively coordinate with party committees, governments and relevant departments, promote the integrated management of tourism resources, and find and solve problems in the promotion of work in time. All localities should strengthen the exchange of information with the National Tourism Administration in the reform, and timely put forward the problems encountered in the reform and the problems that need to be coordinated and solved by the National Tourism Administration, so as to facilitate the overall planning of the National Tourism Administration from a more macro level and promote the reform and development of the whole industry.

Four, tourism administration and related departments should speed up the transformation of functions, and transfer the functions and institutions that should be undertaken by enterprises, industry associations and intermediary organizations. Within five years, the personnel and financial relations of all kinds of tourism industry associations at all levels should be decoupled from tourism administration and other departments.

Policy analysis: This policy aims to accelerate the transformation of government functions and realize the requirements of building a pragmatic and efficient government by deepening and thoroughly reforming the association. The quantitative time requirement put forward in the Opinions is a high hope for tourism reform. According to this requirement, all localities should make specific plans and time arrangements for the reform and reorganization of the association and complete the task on time.

Five, the scenic spot ticket price adjustment should be announced to the public six months in advance, and all travel charges should be announced to the public according to regulations.

Policy analysis: The original intention of this policy is to set a specific time limit for the announcement of scenic spot ticket price adjustment to the public, and to make a principled provision for the announcement of tourism fees to the public, so as to better protect tourists' right to know and the vital interests of tourism enterprises. Local tourism departments should cooperate with the development and reform and price departments, formulate specific measures and measures in a timely manner to implement them according to the requirements of this policy on time limit, and strengthen supervision over the publication and publicity itself and its implementation.
