未来20年,将是中国社会经济发展的一个关键性的历史时期,也是中国旅游业发展的关键性时期。来自国家旅游局的预测表明:旅游业有望在21世纪前10年成为多数地方的支柱产业,并进一步成为国家新的支柱产业。我国在过去的20年已经实现从旅游资源大国到亚洲旅游大国的历史性跨越。 从现在起到202O年,用20年左右时间跻身世界旅游强国,已经成为中国旅游业为之奋斗的一个目标。 The next 20 years will be a crucial historical period for China’s social and economic development and also a crucial period for the development of China’s tourism industry. Projections from the National Tourism Administration show that tourism is expected to become the pillar industry in most places in the first decade of the 21st century and will further become the country’s new pillar industry. In the past 20 years, our country has achieved a historic leap from a big tourist resources country to a big tourist country in Asia. It has become a goal for China’s tourism industry to strive for by becoming one of the world’s tourism powers in about 20 years from now until 202 years.
