Unfavorable conditions for developing tourism in Dunhuang city

1, the investment subject of tourism development is relatively single. The development of Dunhuang tourism is still in the primary stage. In tourism development, problems such as "the government is the main source of wealth" and "the backbone of the government" are more prominent, especially the methods that conform to the laws of market economy, such as the separation of ownership and management rights, development rights and management rights, are rarely used.

2. The tourism management system is not smooth. Objectively speaking, there is a phenomenon of fragmentation and multi-head management in the tourism industry. For example, the Mogao Grottoes are independently managed by Dunhuang Research Institute, Yangguan and Yumenguan are managed by the Municipal Cultural Bureau, museums and other units, and the Ya Dan Landform National Geopark is managed by the Development Planning Bureau and the Land and Resources Bureau. Subjectively, there is still a problem of mutual restriction between departments, and there is a lack of an overall and coordinated operation mechanism.

3. Poor traffic accessibility. From the perspective of air transport, although 4C-class airport has been completed and put into operation, the number of domestic flights has increased to about 10, but few routes have been opened with major domestic tourist cities. The problems of establishing Dunhuang International Airport and opening international direct flights cannot be solved in time, which restricts the expansion of overseas tourism market. From the perspective of railway transportation, although the Dunhuang Railway has started construction, it is difficult to solve the problem of tight transportation capacity in the near future. From the perspective of highway traffic, there is no high-grade highway in Dunhuang, and the reconstruction project of line 3 13 has started all the way. A considerable number of tourists bypass Liuyuan to enter and leave Dunhuang, and the problem of "difficulty for tourists to enter and leave" is still very prominent.

4. The function of tourism supporting services is not perfect. Mainly manifested in the fact that there are few activities that tourists participate in in the scenic spot, and it takes about 1.5-2 hours for tourists to visit the Mogao Grottoes, and there are basically no participatory activities; In the newly-developed Ya Dan Geomorphology National Geopark, tourists trudge nearly 200 kilometers by car, and return after "sightseeing" around the scenic spot. Because these fine scenic spots can't effectively detain tourists, the tourists' detention time in Dunhuang is short, which affects the overall benefit of tourism. The infrastructure construction of scenic spots is relatively backward, and the communication facilities, sewage treatment system, foreign currency exchange and scenic spot introduction in some scenic spots need to be strengthened or improved.

5. The overall competitiveness of tourism is not strong. There are 22 foreign-related star-rated hotels and restaurants, 2 domestic designated hotels 100, more than 0/00 guest houses of other hotels and restaurants, 4 travel agencies engaged in international business, 0/9 travel agencies engaged in domestic business, 4 foreign-related hotel shops 14, more than 200 tourist reception vehicles and taxis/kloc-. Tourism enterprises generally have the phenomenon of small scale, scattered management and fragmented management, and have not formed a standardized and orderly market competition mechanism and lacked the overall ability to resist market risks.
