KUALA LUMPUR, Jan 4 — The 2020 Hundred Health and Sports Companies’ Trip to Guangxi and the China-ASEAN Sports Tourism Carnival was unveiled in Fangchenggang for three days, ending Dec 21.
Co-hosted by the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Sports Bureau and Fangchenggang Municipal Government, the event witnessed a series of new projects and plans that tapped the potential of Guangxi’s sports industry.
At the opening ceremony, the organisers introduced a batch of sports tourism boutique routes, sports complexes, sports tourism demonstration bases, mountain sports camps, aviation sports bases and sports industry demonstration projects in the region.
According to a statement, honorary plaques were awarded to five cities of Nanning, Guilin, Liuzhou, Beihai and Fangchenggang, which were selected as the first batch of sports tourism demonstration cities in Guangxi, and eight demonstration counties (districts) including Yangshuo County and Xiufeng District of Guilin.
At the end of 2018, Guangxi was approved by the General Administration of Sport of China to support the creation of a national sports tourism demonstration zone. Remarkable results have been made over the past few years.
Guangxi held the China-ASEAN Sports Tourism Carnival for two consecutive years from 2019 to 2020 (Tourism Carnival) to deepen the integration between sports and tourism, enhance the tourism quality, tap the potential of the sports sector, and create new growth points for the regional economy.
From the unrivalled landscape in Guilin to picturesque sea views in Fangchenggang, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Sports Bureau has envisioned a bright prospect for its sports industry by bolstering domestic demand extensively and amassing industrial development momentum.
As the first ‘highlight’ of the Tourism Carnival, ‘2020 China-ASEAN Online Sports Product Consumption Week’ was opened. During the event, Guangxi residents were subsidised when paying for sporting goods, invigorating the sports consumer market and stimulated sports consumption in Guangxi.
