Tourists welcome in Jilin province

For example, Han said, the province lacks comprehensive planning for the development of the province's many tourism resorts.

In addition, the construction of tourism facilities should be strengthened. Also, the province still needs to enhance efforts to promote and publicize its many tourism attractions, making them better known to tourists at home and abroad.

The governor said Jilin welcomes domestic and overseas companies to cooperate with local businesses and make investment in the sector.

He said the province will also promote a number of top tourism destinations as an effective way to step up the development of the sector.

For example, the Changbai Mountains are a symbol of Jilin's tourism industry and one of the 10 most famous mountains in China. The province will guide more investments to the area to improve its facilities and further promote the area to the world.

In addition, the winter tour featuring leisure sport activities like skiing will be another focus of Jilin's tourism development.

Minister of National Tourism Administration Shao Qiwei said the State tourism authority will give full support to the development of Jilin's tourism industry.

During the tourism conference, the administration and Jilin provincial government signed an agreement to set up a joint work committee, which will convene once a year to offer advice on how to develop Jilin's tourism industry.
