It means the advent of the great development of tourism and the advent of a higher-quality tourist era. The 16th National Congress of the Communist Party of China put forward the goal of building a well-off society in an all-round way. This means tremendous development prospects for the tourism industry and also proposes a series of new topics for us. To this end, we have invited relevant persons to focus on the concept of “well-off and well-traveled” and related issues with a view to arousing the concern of the tourism industry.
