The state administered tabloid Global Times quoted representatives from Chinese online travel agency Lvmama who mentioned that travel to “military-themed tourist areas” witnessed a 30 percent year-over-year enhance in July in comparison to July of 2017. The Global Times reported that few of the most well-known military-themed tourist areas include the Nanjing National Defense Park and the Binhai Aircraft Carrier Theme Park in Tianjin.
Also, officials are making considerable initiations in attracting children to these sites with military-themed training camps. One such camp operator that the Global Times spoke to stated that his camp drew over 3,000 students a month for short-term military training. Children who participate can fire real guns and ride in helicopters and tanks. Prices for these camps range from $264 (1,800 yuan) and $1,467.
