The "China's municipal district tourism research report 2024", the "2024 top 100 municipal districts in comprehensive tourism strength", and the "2024 top 100 municipal districts in tourism development potential" were recently released in Beijing.

Nanming district, Yunyan district and Huaxi district in Guiyang, capital of Southwest China's Guizhou province, ranked among the top 100 municipal districts in terms of comprehensive tourism strength, ranking 13th, 14th, and 20th, respectively.

Investigation into the comprehensive tourism strength of municipal districts required the development of a research evaluation system based on 32 indicators in six areas, including level of tourism development, intensity of tourism marketing, tourism's effect on economic development, basic tourism conditions, tourism facilities and services, and tourism market regulation.

In recent years, focusing on offering tourists great experiences in terms of health, culture, sightseeing, food, shopping and travel, Guiyang has transformed its resource advantages into industrial strengths.

The city has utilized the culture and tourism industries to boost high-quality development, enhanced the "Cool Guiyang" brand, and strived to become a tourism destination with international influence.

This year, Nanming has been promoting the integrated development of culture and tourism, focusing on resources, customer sources, and services. By offering a full service chain consisting of food, accommodation, transportation, sightseeing, shopping, and entertainment, the district efficiently meets the personalized, intelligent, and diverse needs of tourists.

Yunyan gives full play to its advantages as the center of an old urban area to promote the deep integrated development of culture, commerce, sports, and tourism, attracting people and capital, and improving the quality of business formats and services.

Huaxi is a major tourism destination in Guiyang. In recent years, it has developed various "tourism+" business models, including "tourism + countryside", "tourism + sports" and "tourism + culture".
