Continue to alleviate difficulties for tourism enterprises, promote them to increase innovation efforts, and continuously stimulate development vitality. Further standardize the order of the tourism market, strengthen tourism safety guarantees, and enable the public to travel smoothly and with peace of mind. We need to improve the policy system, boost confidence in tourism investment and consumption, and accelerate the formation of a strong force to promote high-quality development of the tourism industry.

Dai Bin, President of China Tourism Research Institute, attended the symposium. In an interview with Xinhua News Agency, Dai Bin said, "Tourism is a strategic pillar industry of the national economy, a modern service industry that integrates the real economy and digital economy, and a happy cause that meets the needs of the people for a better life. The statement of the Central Political Bureau meeting on promoting the consumption of cultural tourism and other services reflects the central government's emphasis on expanding domestic demand. At the same time, the development of new demands and formats in various domestic tourism industries also reflects the requirements of deepening supply side structural reform. In the future, it is necessary to improve the tourism infrastructure and public service system for individual tourists, while continuously improving the modernization level of the tourism governance system and governance capacity, in order to promote high-quality development of the industry and further expand domestic demand.
