Cai Sihong, secretary of municipal Party committee of Ruili, carried out a research on the development of tourism industry of Ruili from October 12 to 13. Following the research, Cai pointed out that the tourism development of Ruili should highlight “one river and one line”, namely the Ruili River and the borderline, trying its best to be listed in three to five years.

　　Yang Binghuan, a member of the municipal standing committee of Ruili, Dang Wenjun, also a member of the municipal standing committee of Ruili, Yang Yanfei, vice mayor of Ruili, and so on were also present during the visit.

　　In detail, Cai Sihong inquired about the difficulties confronted by tourism enterprises as well as their requirements and suggestions concerning the tourism development of Ruili when he was visiting “One Village in Two Countries” scenic spot, relics of Leiyun Airport, Southeast Asia Park, Wanding Ecology Zone, Wanding Border Culture Park, Ruins Park of Dai Palace, etc.

　　As a city with favorable policies, abundant natural resources and tourism resources, diversified culture, and geographical advantages, Ruili, listed as the first group of “Outstanding Tourist City” ten years ago, was once famous for its tourism industry. However, due to lack of scientific planning, investments, as well as publicity, tourism industry of Ruili tends to shrink gradually.

　　Cai noted that Ruili should focus on its role as the “China-Myanmar border trade center”, highlight its tourism advantages, and make efforts to expand its tourism industry. Meanwhile, he asked that a group of influential and high end tourism products should be made as soon as possible through careful planning, cooperation should be made between municipal government and mass media, airlines, etc, to form a comprehensive publicity of local tourism products, and Tourism Law should be implemented well to forge some famous brands concerning jades, mahogany, etc, which will guide the coordinated development of tourism, shopping, and entertainment.

　　Finally, Cai said that a careful planning and a sound development will bring a bright future for tourism industry of Ruili. He was confident that with common efforts by local governments as well as enterprises, tourism industry of Ruili will get into a new stage in three or five years, possibly becoming a listed industry and realizing its transformation, upgrading and further advancement.
