Xinjiang’s "13th Five-Year" tourism plan focused on building ten systems aimed at promoting the high-quality development of the tourism industry.?
During the "13th Five-Year" period, Xinjiang vigorously promoted the strategy of "revitalizing Xinjiang through tourism," dedicated to constructing a new pattern of all-for-one tourism development featuring resource integration, industrial convergence, and joint construction and sharing. To this end, the Autonomous Region Development and Reform Commission and the Autonomous Region Tourism Administration jointly issued the "13th Five-Year Plan for the Development of Tourism in Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region" and proposed a series of specific goals and measures.?
The "Plan" clearly states that by 2020 (i.e., the end of the "13th Five-Year" period), the total number of tourists received in Xinjiang will reach 300 million, with total tourism consumption reaching RMB 600 billion. To achieve this goal, the Autonomous Region Tourism Administration will focus on building "ten systems":?
Constructing a system of quality tourism destinations: Focus on upgrading and improving Xinjiang’s tourism destination development, creating a batch of international-standard quality tourism routes and attractions.?
Building a tourism distribution system for the Silk Road Economic Belt: Relying on Xinjiang’s unique geographical location and the historical culture of the Silk Road, construct tourism distribution centers to promote regional tourism cooperation and development.?
Constructing a self-drive tourism service industry system: In response to Xinjiang’s vast territory and abundant natural landscapes, improve self-drive tourism service facilities to enhance the self-drive tourism experience.?
Advancing the tourism informatization service system: Utilize modern information technology to improve tourism service efficiency and levels, providing tourists with more convenient and intelligent tourism services.?
Building a tourism service base to enrich the local industry system: By developing tourism service bases, drive local economic development and achieve income growth for the people.?
Cultivating a wellness and medical tourism service system: Combining Xinjiang’s natural environment and medical resources to develop wellness and medical tourism products to meet tourists’ health needs.?
Optimizing the tourism shopping industry system: Enhance the tourism shopping experience, diversify tourism product categories, and promote growth in tourism consumption.?
Upgrading the tourism industry element system: Strengthen tourism infrastructure construction, improve tourism service levels, and provide strong support for the high-quality development of the tourism industry.?
Improving the tourism public service system: Improve public service facilities such as tourism transportation, dining, and accommodation to enhance tourist satisfaction.?
Developing the tourism market and marketing system: Increase tourism promotion and marketing efforts, expand domestic and international tourism markets, and enhance the popularity and influence of Xinjiang tourism.?
In addition, during the "13th Five-Year" period, rural tourism in Xinjiang also developed rapidly, with the industrial infrastructure taking shape and the industrial scale growing stronger. Various regions actively introduced policies and measures to vigorously develop specialty tourism homestays and farmhouse tourism, promoting the high-quality development of rural tourism.?
Overall, the implementation of Xinjiang’s "13th Five-Year" tourism plan has laid a solid foundation for the high-quality development of the tourism industry in Xinjiang and provided tourists with a richer and more diverse travel experience.?
