More revolutionary museums will be opening to the public for free and more creative cultural products of revolutionary relics will be developed.
The red tourism sites are being encouraged to increase cooperation with surrounding schools, the Communist Party of China (CPC) committees and government institutions, so that they can attract more students and party members about learning the country’s revolutionary history.
On record, China has 33,315 revolutionary sites and relics. Statistics show that more than 800 million red tourism trips are made on average every year.
In recent years, red tourism has gained a lot of popularity in China. In the city of Jinggangshan in East China’s Jiangxi province, which is the center of early revolutionary activities of the CPC, tourists clad in Red Army uniforms visit places where revolutionary figures once lived and worked.
During the first 10 months of 2018, Jinggangshan witnessed more than 10 million tourists, generating tourism revenue of more than 10 billion Yuan.
