China News Service, Changchun, February 17 (Guo Jia and Sun Boyan) The "2022 China Ice and Snow Economic Development Index Report" (hereinafter referred to as the "Report") was released on the 17th in Changchun, Jilin Province.

The "Report" pointed out that the ice and snow economic effects of the Beijing Winter Olympics are unprecedented in China, and it is expected that the development of China's ice and snow tourism will continue to maintain a high-speed growth trend in 2022.

  The "Report" was released by the Key Laboratory of Ice and Snow Tourism Venue Equipment and Intelligent Service Technology of Jilin University, which is the only ministerial-level key laboratory for ice and snow tourism research approved by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China.

The writing of the "Report" was also supported by experts from the Swiss National Tourism Administration, the Swiss GDI Institute, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the Hong Kong Polytechnic University and other relevant institutions.

  The "Report" focuses on the industrial ecosystem and other comprehensive perspectives, and for the first time proposes the "aircraft theory" of the ice and snow economy with Chinese characteristics, and based on this, proposes an indicator system for measuring the development of China's ice and snow economy, including 4 first-level indicators, 14 Second-level indicators, 43 third-level indicators and 289 fourth-level indicators.

  The so-called "airplane theory" is based on ice and snow tourism as the carrier (fuselage), guided by ice and snow sports (the nose), with ice and snow equipment and ice and snow culture as the two wings (wings), and supported by other related industries of ice and snow (aircraft). tail).

The weights of each part are 40%, 25%, and 35% respectively (25% for ice and snow equipment, 10% for ice and snow culture), and the "tail" part is not included in the index calculation.

This weight will be dynamically adjusted each year.

  According to the "Report", since 2016, the fixed base index of China's ice and snow economic development (compared with 2016) has been in a positive trend of continuous growth.

Affected by the outbreak of the new crown pneumonia, the index fell from 163.87 in 2019 to 155.81 in 2020, and then bottomed out and reached a new high of 208.92 in 2021.

In this process of change, ice and snow sports and ice and snow culture have made great contributions.

  Xin Benlu, director of the Key Laboratory of Ice and Snow Tourism Venue Equipment and Intelligent Service Technology of Jilin University, believes that the demand upgrade brought about by the increase in per capita income is the internal driving force for the rapid development of China's ice and snow economy. Aided by strategic opportunities.

  Chinese officials have proposed that the biggest purpose of hosting the Winter Olympics is to drive 300 million people to participate in ice and snow sports.

The "Report" pointed out that China's hosting of the Winter Olympics has promoted the integrated development of sports competitions, fitness and leisure, sports training, and cultural experience, and has gradually solved the problems existing in ice and snow sports and ice and snow tourism such as China's strong competitive sports and weak mass sports. problem.

  The "Report" believes that during the "14th Five-Year Plan" period, China will focus on areas rich in ice and snow resources in Northeast China, North China, and Northwest China, and establish an ice and snow economic system with domestic demand as the leading force and external demand as the auxiliary force.

China's ice and snow economy will be characterized by mutual penetration, extension and connection with other industries, giving birth to various new ice and snow products and services, forming a rich connotation of industrial integration.
