In recent years, Chongqing has rapidly developed its tourism sector, positioning it as a key growth industry. Emerging trends like digital tourism, immersive experiences, night economies, and niche performances are transforming the city's cultural and tourism landscape.

Building on this momentum, Chongqing is establishing a dynamic marketing system to strengthen collaboration between cultural and tourism enterprises. This approach aims to attract more visitors, unlock investment potential, and drive unified development. By fostering a cultural and tourism community, Chongqing aspires to become a world-class tourism destination, boost its cultural industries, and contribute to economic growth.
