On September 1, Chen Jitian, a member of the municipal government’s Party leadership group and Party Secretary of the Scenic Area Party Committee, chaired a dispatch meeting on the 5A-level tourism development initiative for Lushan Xihai at the Creation Office. During the meeting, reports from various project teams and working groups were heard, and the existing problems and difficulties were thoroughly analyzed and discussed, further clarifying the current priorities of the work. Secretary Chen Jitian emphasized that as the creation process enters a critical stage, we must adhere to both problem-oriented and goal-oriented approaches and adopt a reverse-schedule-driven strategy. We should focus on integrating resources and build a smart tourism platform to high standards, striving to achieve first-class status nationwide and top position within the province. We must also strengthen scenic area management and staff training to enhance service quality and boost the attractiveness of the scenic area. Furthermore, we need to vigorously promote environmental improvements and continuously consolidate our existing achievements. We should enrich the new connotations of tourism, cultivate new tourism formats, and continually improve people’s livelihoods. Finally, we must face challenges squarely, maintain firm confidence, go above and beyond expectations, and resolutely secure the prestigious national 5A-level tourist attraction designation.

　　 Lushan Xihai is meticulously developing a homestay tourism industry chain, using small homestays to drive a larger-scale economic cycle. Since the beginning of this year, the Lushan West Sea Scenic Area has firmly implemented General Secretary Xi Jinping’s instructions on establishing a new development pattern featuring domestic major circulation as the mainstay and mutual promotion of domestic and international dual circulations. To further revitalize the area’s resources, the scenic area has introduced incentive policies, optimized its cultural and tourism industrial chain, and promoted the development of tourist homestays toward standardization, scale-up, specialization, and branding. The rapid growth of the homestay economy has driven the expansion and strengthening of local industries such as tourism, catering, agritourism, and fruit-picking activities, initially achieving a win-win situation of economic development and increased incomes for farmers.
