China’s economy development (Tourism)


Making good use of China’s rich culture and heritage, China has developed tourism into a source for making money.

Firstly, there are tourists at every heritage sites to bring tourists around and explain to them the culture and significance of the place. In addition, the tour guides there are always fully prepared with their microphones. They also have adequate knowledge of the place to explain every single aspect of the site. Their service standard is good and therefore it is a guarantee that many other tourists will continue to visit the heritage sites. Thus, as the service is good at these sites, there will be a continuous flow of tourists and money will continue flowing in as well.

Secondly, not only has China improved their service standards, it has also gone into many Chinese conservation projects. E.g., Sanhe Guzhen, Shexian, Huishang Big House and Huizhou Ancient City. Renovations are done to preserve the culture and heritage of these places so that these heritage sites will not disappear and lose a source of money as a result.

Thirdly, they upgraded some of the heritage sites by putting up useful information about the person who used to live in that place. E.g, Former Residence of Li Hong Zhang. They also put up displays of old weapons and traditional clothings. Doing so will help tourists to satisfy their curiosity and expose them to more of China’s culture. This will cause tourists to be satisfied with the heritage sites and may introduce these places to other tourists as well.  As a result, more money will be earned.

In conclusion, China has tried to develop and improve heritage sites and service standards. Economy has improved since before due to tourism.
