Rao Quan, Vice Minister of Culture and Tourism, introduced the historic achievements and changes in culture and tourism since the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China.
Rao Quan said that in the past ten years, my country's cultural and tourism industries have developed a strong momentum, and the vitality of innovation and creativity has been bursting out.
The cultural and tourism industry system has been gradually improved, the standard system has been continuously improved, and the industrial scale has continued to grow.
In 2019, the added value of cultural and related industries reached 4,436.3 billion yuan, and the added value of tourism and related industries reached 4,498.9 billion yuan, accounting for 4.5% and 4.56% of GDP respectively.
The digital cultural industry is developing rapidly, and new formats such as "cloud exhibition", online studio, webcast, and immersive experience are accelerating.
Mass tourism and smart tourism continue to develop. Self-driving tourism, camping tourism, ice and snow tourism, health tourism, and marine tourism are leading the trend of leisure and vacation.
Creative industries and rural tourism continue to empower rural revitalization.
Red tourism and tourism performances are booming, and the integration of culture and tourism is further promoted.
Since the outbreak of the novel coronavirus pneumonia, the cultural industry and tourism industry have been severely impacted. We have worked hard to help enterprises with practical measures. Enterprises actively rescue themselves and do not "lay flat", and promote the cultural and tourism industries to boost confidence and stabilize for the better.
