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.

FANGCHENGGANG, China, Dec. 23, 2020 /Xinhua-AsiaNet/–

The China-ASEAN Sports Tourism Carnival High-quality Development Conference was held on December 19, 2020 in Fangchenggang of Guangxi, under the theme of “encouraging the quality growth of the sports industry and fostering a new development pattern”. Following activities such as “Winter Tour in Guangxi” and “Green Ecological Sports in Guangxi”, more than 40 major sports events above the city level will be held in the region. These events are mainly oriented to the general public, including marathon, basketball, table tennis, and football, to meet the diverse fitness needs of the public. It is estimated that the Carnival will garner more than 250,000 participants (person-time), according to Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Sports Bureau.

At the conference, the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region Sports Bureau signed strategic cooperation agreements with Fangchenggang Municipal Government, Beijing Liandong Investment (Group) Co., Ltd., and KAILAS Group to work closely to construct a healthy sports industry park, integrate sports and education, and enhance sports events operation, while striving to build a “new high land” for the development of the sports industry.

“Driving new sports consumption models with digital technologies and promoting the digitalization and intelligentization of the sports industry is an essential part of the high-quality development of the industry,” said Li Changzhu, vice president of Huawei’s Consumer BG, at the conference.

“Technology changes our lives” is a well-known slogan. Science and technology are also crucial to sports. “As people are better aware of the importance of health, there is a growing demand for scientific sports and health management,” Li added, and this has provided conditions conducive to the digital transformation of the sports industry.

At the opening ceremony, smart health equipment such as badminton robots, AR bicycles, and AR indoor rowers garnered great fanfare in the exhibition hall. Among them, AR bicycles features real-time online management of user’s riding data, and users can team up for training or online competitions via the built-in cycling game, which is an entertaining training exercise.

Bao Mingxiao, a professor at Beijing Sport University, holds the view that “technology and sports” can quantify exercise, and the accurate and diverse exercise data generated in real time by smart devices can be analyzed to develop a scientific way of doing exercise.

“After the epidemic, a growing number of people have realized that exercise is not only a ‘good medicine’, but also an innate fundamental ‘vaccine’ with great safe and long-lasting effectiveness,” Bao said.
