Sichuan and Tibet Work Together to Promote the Development of Tourism

Time:2013-3-21By: CherrySource: Chinatibetnews.com

Section of Sichuan-Tibet Highway

Sichuan and Tibet are linked by rivers and mountains long time ago and the Sichuan-Tibet Highway made Sichuan and Tibet linked more closely.

Tibet has rich tourism resources. Its nature, culture and history in Tibet are of unique charm for tourists both at home and abroad. According to statistics, about 12 percent of tourists in Tibet are from Sichuan Province or Chongqing. Strengthen the contact and cooperation in tourism industry would not only bring out the best in the tourism industry in these two regions but also promote the improvement of the quality of the tourism products both in Tibet and Sichuan.

Sichuan Province has been a good neighbor of Tibet since ancient times. Chengdu, the capital city of Sichuan Province, has been one of the most important entrance cities of Tibet for tourists making a Tibet tour. Both the direct flight and direct train to Tibet have been opened in Chengdu. But, there is also scarce transportation capacity between Sichuan and Tibet, especially in the peak season of Tibet tour. The demand of the air tickets or train tickets to Tibet always greatly exceeds the supply in July and August every year. Hence, Sichuan and Tibet are planning to accelerate the construction of the basic transportation facilities to provide more convenience for tourists.

To relieve the burden of the air transportation and train transportation between Sichuan and Tibet, the construction of a series of basic service facilities along Sichuan-Tibet Highway has been started. The construction of the campsites for the motor homes, SUV, motorcycles and bicycles will provide service for tourists planning a self-driving or self-riding tour to Tibet along Sichuan-Tibet Highway. There is no doubt that the complete service system along the highway will attract more tourists.

The integration of the tourism resources in Sichuan Province and Tibet Autonomous Region would greatly improve the tourism brand both in Sichuan and Tibet. Sichuan and Tibet will put great efforts in the creating of the Shangri-la tour route, the ancient horse-tea road tour route and the sightseeing route along State Highway G318. Special importance will be attached to the creation of the Shangri-la Barrier-free Tourism Zone.

In addition, Sichuan and Tibet will also provide support for each other's tourism products promotion activities. Preferential policies and special convenience will be ensured for tour groups organized by each other. Sichuan and Tibet could also take part in the important international tourism exhibitions in alliance so as to expand the domestic and abroad tourist market. Besides, help each other to advertise their tourism product on their own brochure is also an effective publicity means.

Both the Tibetan regions and Tibet are located on Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, but there are certain differences in their culture. For instance, the Tibetan regions in Sichuan Province enjoy distinctive cultural diversity. In the creation of the tourism products, both Sichuan and Tibet should focus on their own features to attract different tourists. Repeated construction of the similar scenic spots and same view should be avoided strictly.
