Secretary of the CPC Hunan Provincial Committee and Director of the Standing Committee of the Hunan Provincial People's Congress Xu Shousheng called for implementing decisions made by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council, and accelerating the building of a powerful province in tourism by initiating whole-region tourism strategy. Secretary Xu made the remark at the Hunan Tourism Development Conference held in Changsha on March 30. He also stressed that practical measures should be taken to promote Hunan’s tourism development while protecting ecological environment and benefiting the people.

Governor of Hunan Province Du Jiahao presided over the conference.

Xu pointed out that it is of great significance to set clear targets for tourism development in the era of mass tourism. Efforts should be made to integrate five development ideas into Hunan’s tourism development, so as to increase tourism functions via innovation, improve development quality via coordination, enhance the value of ecotourism via green development, build a new pattern for opening up of tourism and benefit more people via sharing development. Initiatives should be taken to explore a new way to develop whole-region tourism on the basis of rational tourism resource allocation, tourism layout, scenic spot construction, law enforcement and industrial integration. The new target for building itself a tourism power should be set in a scientific way. And the overall goal is to develop tourism into a trillion-yuan industry by 2020, Xu added.
