Unlike other cities in China, Suzhou's "night economy" needs to "reverse." Returning to the thousand-year-old Gusu, returning to the Su-style life of Sculls, Shadow Play, Kunqu Opera, Alley Stone Bridge, Linshui Inn, the “slow” of “national style Suzhou” attracts tourists and promotes the “fast” of economic development ". As Lan Shaomin said, it is necessary to profoundly realize that the creation of the "Gusu 8:30" brand is not only necessary to promote the development of the night economy and consumer replenishment, but also closely related to the cultural heritage of Suzhou and the revival of the ancient city. "Give me a night, Give you back a thousand years ".
To seize the "night economy", Suzhou, the "strongest prefecture-level city", has urgent realities and long-term needs. In the current epidemic, the recovery of the night economy has become a "magic weapon" to boost the consumer market across China.
Suzhou is a modern metropolis with a population of more than 15 million, but when it comes to the night economy, it has become an indescribable pain for Suzhou. Regardless of its reputation or popularity, it not only has a big gap with the first-tier cities such as "North to Guangzhou and Shenzhen", but also can't catch up. The surrounding Hangzhou, Nanjing and Wuhan, Xi'an and other cities in the central and western regions. This is the background of the era when the "Gusu 8:30" night economy took the stage.
Known as a "paradise on earth", Suzhou's main indicators of tourism have been at the forefront of cities in the country for many years. Last year, Suzhou received 134 million domestic and foreign tourists, an increase of 4.1% year-on-year. Total tourism revenue reached 275.1 billion yuan. The value added of the tourism industry accounted for 6.7% of the regional GDP. This set of data will undoubtedly bring confidence to Suzhou's "night economy".
"Night economy" is an economic proposition for businesses, but it is a governance test for the government. "We will implement various measures to promote the development of tourism while resolutely preventing and controlling the epidemic, and are committed to creating the best tourism ecology, tourism products, tourism brands, and tourism services to comprehensively enhance the appeal of Suzhou tourism. Competitiveness and influence. "Suzhou Mayor Li Yaping said when introducing the general arrangements to promote tourism recovery. (Finish)
