“Tourism will go from full business resumption to full consumption recovery,” claimed the China Tourism Academy president Dai Bin in a statement after attending the Capital Tourism Development Forum. The city that hosts 356 miles of the Great Wall of China, one of the New 7 Wonders of the World, plans to integrate culture and tourism resources and optimize the tourism-business environment.
Beijing’s tourism plan for 2021-25 has been formulated. Dai Bin confirmed he’s optimistic about tourism development in 2021, which is based on the country’s goal to eliminate extreme poverty and become a “moderately prosperous society”.
Resorts and scenic spots with outstanding cultural elements will be constructed for travel-business development, and increase quality and supply. Culture parks, including those related to the Great Wall and the Grand Canal, will move forward.
Technical innovation and other reforms will be prioritized in Beijing to boost tourism and cultural infrastructure, increase consumption and advance new business models according to the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism deputy director Wang Yue.
The goal is to comprehensively upgrade the capital’s tourism quality and raise its profile to make it a first-class tourism city internationally.
