Tourism strategy

Modern tourism is no longer a simple sightseeing. First of all, it is an industry, which not only shows its own economic benefits and sustainability of development, but also plays an important role in stimulating local economy and promoting regional employment. For Hongyang, tourism is a booster to promote the transformation of traditional agriculture, and it is an important means to adjust the regional industrial structure. Secondly, it is a window for the external publicity of a region. Many places that were not well-known have become household names or even famous overseas just because of tourism. For example, Dali in Yunnan Province, Xidi and Hongcun in Anhui Province, Wuzhen in Zhejiang Province, etc. The development of tourism is also a business card of Hongyang's external publicity. Thirdly, vigorously developing tourism is also the need to implement the central government's "scientific outlook on development" and "sustainable development", which is in line with the pace of "new rural construction". In the central government's "Eleventh Five Year Plan", tourism will become the leading industry to expand domestic demand, increase employment and upgrade residents' consumption. All these preconditions require local governments to have foresight and courage, and use advanced ideas to lead the development of local tourism.

Tourism development depends on perfect infrastructure, especially traffic conditions. With the completion of Tongnan Xuanhua expressway, Hongyang's external traffic conditions will be improved. Beautiful ecological environment is the basic attraction of Populus tomentosa tourism. Protecting resources and environment is the premise of sustainable development of tourism and the core competitiveness in the future.
