  expert's point

  Professional institutions and talents are the difficulty and the key

  "Sichuan's ice and snow industry started from scratch. I think the first is the vigorous advocacy and promotion of the local government, just like the programmatic guidelines for the leap-forward development of ice and snow sports in the 14th Five-Year Plan of Sichuan Sports Development." Associate Professor Cao of Sichuan University Business School Kirin said that while the development of the ice and snow industry in Sichuan is accelerating, there are also bottlenecks and difficulties.

  "For example, the establishment, introduction and training of professional operating agencies, traditionally speaking, Sichuan does not have the professional operation capabilities and resources for ice and snow projects. This requires the active promotion of the government and industry associations to give full play to the advantages of latecomers. Once the ice and snow projects are launched, all It is necessary to achieve the top-level and top-level operation level in China." Cao Qilin said.

  Cao Qilin said, secondly, the difficulty lies in vigorously recruiting and cultivating professional talents, including professional coaches, athletes, operation teams of ice and snow events, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to enter primary and secondary schools or universities to strengthen publicity, enhance consumer awareness, and form an influential regional brand events, etc.

  Regarding the sustainable development of Sichuan's ice and snow industry in the future, Cao Qilin said that Sichuan should host more influential professional events across the country and the world, support and encourage the establishment of industry associations and professional clubs, strengthen the operation and management guidance of professional institutions, and regulate the market order. And it must be developed in combination with the natural endowment advantages of Sichuan's major tourism province, and promote the deep integration and development of tourism, culture and sports industries.
