中国发布乡村旅游可持续发展指南
New guidelines on the sustainable development of rural tourism have been released by the authorities in China. The guidelines put forward five major measures, including strengthening planning to achieve coordinated regional development in rural tourism and improving infrastructure and public services. The others are enhancing the quality of products and the level of service and management, innovative marketing, and paying more attention to the benefits of rural residents to help poverty alleviation via rural tourism. The guidelines were released by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, the National Development and Reform Commission and 15 other departments. They also put forward other supporting measures such as improving the mechanism for financial investment, and further guarantees for land use for rural tourism, among others. The guideline will help create a win-win situation where the rural population leads better-off lives, investors are granted their due rewards, and the rural environment keeps improving, said Wu Liyun, an associate researcher at the China Tourism Academy. |
