Focusing on the deep integration and innovative development of the cultural and tourism industry, the Changning Cultural and Tourism Integration High Quality Development/Hongqiao Cultural and Tourism Expo Members’ Conference was held on March 28.

The conference summarized the significant achievements of the coordinated development of Changning’s cultural and tourism industry in the past year, and made forward-looking planning and deployment around the new stage of development goals.

It also focused on clarifying the strategic pivot role of deep integration of culture and tourism as a driving force for regional economic transformation and upgrading, and innovatively exploring the implementation path of cultural and tourism economy with Changning characteristics.

After the establishment of “Hongqiao Cultural and Tourism Expo,” an industrial ecosystem for information exchange and resource sharing has been built through the linkage of “online plus offline” dual platforms. 

At present, the platform has absorbed a total of 98 member units from six major industry categories, namely tourism services, hotel accommodation, cultural industry, commercial circles, museums, and cultural and tourism supporting industries, among which 28 are Party construction alliance units in the cultural and tourism industry. 

The network provides a solid foundation for the development of Changning’s cultural and tourism industry.

During the exchange session of the conference, the attendees engaged in lively discussions on the cutting-edge trends, innovative practices, and challenges faced by the cultural and tourism industry. 

Attendees from different fields such as tourism services, hotel accommodation, and cultural industries shared their practical experiences and thoughts in the context of cultural and business tourism integration, jointly exploring how to tap into regional characteristic cultural and tourism resources, create new scenarios for cultural and tourism consumption, enhance tourist experience, and promote the prosperity of regional cultural and tourism economy.

The further upgrade of “Hongqiao Cultural and Tourism Expo” is another important milestone in the integrated development of culture and tourism in Changning. 

Through this platform, Changning will further optimize the cultural and tourism business environment, and promote resonance between the cultural and tourism industry and the regional economy. 

In the future, “Hongqiao Cultural and Tourism Expo” will continue to play an important role in the integration of cultural and tourism industries,
