China's Ministry of Culture and Tourism General Office and six other departments
issued a notice to promote industrial culture, protect industrial heritage and
develop industrial tourism. They encourage capable industrial firms to plan
visitor spaces and routes and expand on-site viewing, hands-on experiences and
digital simulation. The notice calls for practical tourist facilities —
explanatory signage, cultural retail, sanitary dining, parking and vehicle
charging — and for better integration of industrial tourism sites with urban
public transport, including transfer hubs, tourist shuttle services and parking.
It also supports eligible localities in improving inbound-tourist services such
as multilingual guides and departure tax-refund mechanisms.
