China will improve services for tourists through public-private partnerships¹ (PPP), according to a guideline released by the Ministry² of Culture and Tourism and the Ministry of Finance (MOF).

 

中国文化和旅游部以及财政部公布的一份指导方针指出，中国将通过公私合作改善对游客的服务。

 

The PPPs, collaborative projects between government and private companies, will give priority to support national tourism projects and poverty-alleviation through tourism.

 

"The policy will improve infrastructure³ and public services especially in poor areas such as central and western China," said Liu Jiajun of East China Normal University.

 

"PPP will speed up the transformation⁴ of the tourism business," said Li Qiuyan, director of travel agency Joyo Group.

 

In February, the MOF published details of PPP projects with a total investment of 760 billion yuan (around 125 billion U.S. dollars), the fourth round of such investment since 2014.
