The "Opinions" propose to promote the integrated development of business and tourism, enhance the experiential and interactive nature of projects, launch a variety of types of characteristic tourism products, encourage the development of new business formats such as cruise yachts, RV camping, and low-altitude flights, and support the development of integrated business formats such as "music + tourism", "performance + tourism", and "events + tourism". Open silver-haired tourism trains, carry out senior-friendly and comfortable transformation of the carriages, and enrich the supply of tourist routes and services. Encourage localities to formulate and implement policies such as preferential tickets for scenic spots and free opening in off-season. Improve the quality of transportation services, improve services such as three-dimensional transfers and car rentals, and facilitate passenger travel. Optimize entry policies and the consumption environment, accelerate the resumption of flight schedules, provide diversified payment services, study the expansion of visa-free countries, and deepen the activities of the Year of Cultural Tourism.
