The significance of opening up tourism

1. Provide a large number of employment opportunities and absorb rural surplus labor. As a labor-intensive and service-oriented tertiary industry, tourism has the characteristics of low employment threshold, large quantity, and little impact from economic recession, which puts huge population pressure and employment pressure in this region.

2. Increase foreign exchange income. Tourism not only attracts domestic tourists, but also attracts a large number of overseas tourists. It has become an important way to earn foreign exchange and plays a great role in increasing foreign exchange reserves, making up for trade deficits, and balancing the international balance of payments.

3. Promote the development of related industries. The development of tourism not only provides many direct employment opportunities, but also stimulates the development of related industries and provides many indirect employment opportunities.
