Big plans for tourism in Yunnan province

Yunnan province will build the comprehensive tourism project in its western region into a world-class tourist destination, according to information revealed at the ongoing annual session of the provincial People's Congress.

In 2021, Yunnan will focus on the whole industrial chain of "culture, tourism, medicine, health, sports, science and intelligence" to create a new tourism brand represented by the western Yunnan tourism loop, said Wang Yubo, the acting governor of Yunnan, in the government work report delivered on Tuesday.

The province will build a big data center for smart tourism, and it will develop a new type of rural tourism and new forms of business and new products, such as leisure vacations, outdoor sports and eldercare, Wang said in his work report.
