Yantai tourism development

In the wave of development in recent years, many dark horse cities have emerged, and the economic development of Shandong Province in recent years is obvious to all. As a major tourist province in China, Shandong Province has a superior geographical position and rich local tourism resources, which are deeply loved by tourists.

Among them, Jinan and Qingdao are the most prominent cities. These two old and economically developed cities have always occupied the top two places in the local area. However, we must know that Jinan is the capital city of Shandong Province and Qingdao is the first batch of coastal open cities in China. It is understandable for many people to have such achievements.

After the two cities, there is a dark horse city in Shandong, with beautiful local scenery. In recent years, its economic level is also in the forefront of the province, and it even has a faint momentum of surpassing Jinan, but it has been unknown, and it has been called the lowest-key city in Shandong by many people.

Shandong is the lowest-key city, and its economic level is comparable to Jinan.

This city is Yantai, which is named after Yantai Mountain in China. After hundreds of years of continuous development, Yantai City, which we see now, has gradually emerged.

As an important port city in China's Bohai Rim region, Yantai's economic development is also rising. In 2017, Yantai's GDP ranked second in Shandong Province, second only to Qingdao, surpassing Jinan by more than one billion yuan, and in the following years, it was even comparable to Jinan.

As the only prefecture-level city in Shandong that has been a civilized city for five years in a row, Yantai does have many brilliant places. The local environment is very good, and the streets are neat, and there is almost no garbage on the streets. In addition, local residents are very quality, and they can't be seen littering at will every day.

Rich in tourism resources, it is deeply loved by tourists.

As a city with a history of several hundred years, there are many famous historical sites in Yantai, and with its rich natural resources, there are 92 local "A" tourist areas, accounting for 22% of the province.

In 2019, 20 local scenic spots received a total of 2.326 million tourists, which directly brought 199 million yuan, but the hidden economic benefits brought to the local area were indeed huge.

Every holiday, many tourists will visit Shandong not far from Wan Li. Compared with the sea of people in Qingdao, Yantai is less well-known and naturally there are not many tourists in the scenic spot, which has also become a minority tourist attraction favored by many tourists.

Both the famous Penglai Pavilion Scenic Area and Yangma Island during Qin Shihuang's east tour are famous in history, and countless literati left poems and Mo Bao in these places, which have been sung for thousands of years.

In addition, in Yantai, the scenery is not only beautiful in spring and summer. On the contrary, Yantai has four distinct seasons, and each season has a special scenery. No matter when you go, the local scenery is unique, especially after the heavy snow in winter, where there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, at this time, tourists can go to the middle reaches of the local forest to play.

Each city has its own characteristics. Compared with beef and mutton in Inner Mongolia and hot pot in Chongqing, Qixia Apple in Yantai is well-known and a local signboard, which can be tasted when traveling.

Of course, the locals are very hospitable. If tourists arrive in Yantai, the locals will enthusiastically share some knowledge of seaside travel and some interesting scenic spots around them. Therefore, traveling to Yantai must be a very good choice. What do you want to say about this unknown "dark horse" city?

In the first half of this year, Yantai received 17,680,200 tourists from home and abroad, achieving a tourism revenue of 18.185 billion yuan, and the total tourism revenue accounted for 21.3% of the added value of the city's service industry. As the leading industry of the tertiary industry, the relevance of tourism not only directly brings tourists and markets to transportation, commodity trade, hotels and restaurants, scenic spots, but also effectively promotes the development of industries such as industry, agriculture, forestry, urban construction, culture and sports, marine environmental protection, and further promotes the rapid development of modern service industries such as finance, insurance, information and real estate. The extensive relevance of tourism has become the most powerful "engine" for the development of service industries.

Tourism resources consumption is low, the driving coefficient is large, there are many employment opportunities, and the comprehensive benefits are good. The development of tourism can prosper all industries. Last year, Yantai's total tourism revenue was equivalent to 22.7% of the added value of the service industry, which was not increased by 2.8 percentage points compared with the tenth five-year plan. The role of tourism in promoting the service industry became more and more obvious. At present, the era of tourism popularization has arrived. Taking the New Year's Eve as an example, the New Year's Eve fully integrates traditional folk resources such as tourism, culture, commerce, catering, transportation, sports, agriculture, forestry and religion, and attracts the extensive participation of the general public and tourists.
