There is only one national 5A scenic spot in Chengdu. Why does Xi 'an's tourism income exceed150 billion yuan?

Chengdu and Xi 'an are more than 700 kilometers apart, and it takes at least 3 hours and at most 4 hours from Xi 'an to Chengdu. These two cities are sub-provincial cities, megacities and important central cities in the western region. In terms of GDP, Chengdu has already entered the trillion-dollar club. In 20 19, the GDP reached170 billion yuan, and the per capita GDP also exceeded10 million. In 2020, Xi 'an's GDP has just exceeded the trillion scale, and it is only separated from Chengdu by Changzhou.

Chengdu and Xi 'an are both popular cities for tourists, indicating that Xi 'an has more tourists, while Chengdu has higher tourism income. Can it be understood that people who come to Chengdu are richer and prefer to spend money? Is the consumption level of tourists visiting Xi low?

In 20 19, Xi received more than 300 million tourists, and the tourism income was 3 146 billion yuan. Chengdu received 280 million tourists and earned 466.3 billion yuan in tourism revenue. Therefore, the number of tourists in Chengdu is less than 20 million in Xi. Tourism income is 654.38+0.5 billion yuan higher than that of Xi.

There is only one national 5A scenic spot in Chengdu, namely Qingcheng Mountain in Dujiangyan, which is also a world cultural heritage. Xi's world cultural heritage includes Terracotta Warriors and Horses and Daming Palace. 5A scenic spots include Terracotta Warriors, Huaqing Pool, Daming Palace, Forest of Steles on the City Wall, Wild Goose Pagoda and the city that never sleeps. Therefore, there are five national 5A scenic spots in Xi. So why is Chengdu's tourism revenue more than Xi's150 billion yuan?

On the one hand, there are many tourists in Chengdu, and there are16.58 million people in Chengdu, which is a permanent population. In neighboring cities, there are 83.75 million people in Sichuan Province. From other provinces to Sichuan, there are many people from Chongqing to Chengdu. Chongqing is a municipality directly under the central government, and its GDP ranks high in the country. In addition, Guangdong's GDP ranks first in the country, and there are two first-tier cities in Guangdong, one is Shenzhen and the other is Guangzhou. Then there are tourists from nearby Shaanxi Province, Yunnan, Guizhou, Gansu, Jiangsu, Tibet, Zhejiang and Xinjiang. People in Jiangsu and Zhejiang provinces are relatively rich and have high incomes.

Visitors to Xi 'an, on the one hand, are Xi 'an people, with a population of more than 1000 million and a per capita GDP of more than 90,000. There are more tourists from Shaanxi to xi 'an. Shaanxi province has a population of 38.76 million, and its per capita GDP is 654.38+0 million US dollars, so the per capita income is still relatively low. Other provinces visited Xi 'an, including Shaanxi and Henan, as well as Shanghai, Beijing, Jiangsu, Sichuan, Shandong, Gansu, Ningxia and other provinces and cities. The income of Shanghai and Beijing is relatively high, the income of economically developed Jiangsu is also high, and the GDP of Shandong is also very high. But like Gansu, Ningxia and Shanxi, the per capita income is not high. Therefore, Xi's consumption is somewhat weak.

On the other hand, although there are many scenic spots in Xi 'an in the past five years, the climate and temperature in Xi 'an are not as good as those in Chengdu. Some people come to Xi for two or three days at most, and there is nothing to see around except Huashan. But Chengdu is different. The scenic spots in Chengdu are similar to those in the surrounding area. Chengdu's Wuhou Temple Du Fu Caotang Qingyang Palace, Kuanzhai Lane Taikooli Chunxi Road and so on, and the surrounding Dujiangyan Qingcheng Mountain, Emei Mountain Leshan Giant Buddha and Xiling Snow Mountain all attract tourists.

On the other hand, the tourism consumption structure of Xi is different from that of Chengdu. Xi 'an has a lot of pasta, and a bowl of noodles can solve the problem. But when you go to Chengdu, you can fry a few dishes, drink a cup of tea, dig an ear and see a change of face, and the hotel is expensive, so the consumption will be high. Although many people visit Xi 'an, many people flock to Shaanxi History Museum, and the basic exhibition halls are free to visit. There is also Datang Furong Garden, which doesn't need tickets and saves money. There are some famous scenic spots in Xi. Although it takes an hour by car, tourists don't consider it, such as Louguantai. This is also free. Just pay a few dollars for tickets, and many people don't go to play.

This is why, although the number of tourists to Ann has exceeded 300 million, the tourism income of Ann is less than that of Chengdu by more than 654.38+05 billion yuan. Netizens joked that all the rich people went to Chengdu to play. The main reason is that Chengdu is more livable, many people stay in Chengdu for a longer time, more people go to Chengdu after 1990, there are many online celebrities, and young people have strong spending power, so Chengdu has high tourism income.
