Chapter 99 The Prosperity of the Tourism Economy

The village's cooperation with the external tourism market has become increasingly close and fruitful. Long-term partnerships have been established with several large travel agencies, which include the village in their popular tour routes and regularly organize group visits. For example, a well-known travel agency launched a "Pastoral Idyll Tour" specifically for urban professionals seeking a rural experience. Two to three tour groups visit the village weekly, staying for two to three days to deeply experience the village's folk culture, agricultural activities, and natural scenery. Through this cooperation, the village's popularity has rapidly increased, and the source of tourists has broadened significantly. Statistics show that within six months of partnering with this travel agency, the number of tourists from outside the province increased by nearly 30%. Furthermore, the village has partnered with several online travel platforms, opening official shops to showcase its tourism resources, specialty products, and tour packages. Tourists can easily book accommodations, tickets, and activities through these platforms, greatly improving booking efficiency and tourist traffic.

Different types of tourists have distinct experiences and spending preferences in the village. Families often prioritize parent-child interaction and education. They spend considerable time in agricultural experience parks, allowing children to participate in various farming activities and learn about agriculture. In terms of spending, they tend to purchase healthy agricultural products and handmade souvenirs made by the family. For example, handmade pottery made together by the family, engraved with family members' names, has become a popular souvenir. Couples seek a romantic atmosphere. They enjoy strolling along quiet country lanes, admiring the beautiful rural scenery, and taking photos on ancient bridges. In the cultural street, couples will choose exquisite matching accessories, such as hand-woven bracelets with village-themed patterns. For accommodation, they prefer guesthouses with beautiful surroundings and good privacy, enjoying a private retreat for two. Senior tourists have a strong interest in traditional culture. They watch folk performances attentively and exchange ideas with veteran artists about the inheritance of traditional skills. In teahouses, they often sit for half a day, savoring fragrant tea, listening to opera, and experiencing the charm of rural culture. In terms of consumption, elderly tourists like to buy some traditional health and wellness products, such as herbal tea made by villagers and natural honey.

The booming tourism economy has profoundly impacted village land use and resource allocation. In terms of land use, some previously idle farmland has been transformed into agricultural experience parks and orchards for sightseeing, improving land utilization and increasing its economic value. Some residential land near tourist attractions has been developed into guesthouses and specialty shops, changing the land's intended use. However, this has also brought challenges, such as increased land scarcity and greater difficulty in planning and management. To address these issues, the village established a dedicated land planning team to rationally delineate land use zones based on tourism development needs and the village's long-term plan, ensuring the scientific use of land resources. In terms of resource allocation, human resources are increasingly shifting towards the tourism service industry. Many villagers have abandoned traditional agricultural production and turned to tourism-related work. This has led to a decrease in agricultural labor, which the village has compensated for by introducing agricultural mechanization equipment and technology to improve agricultural production efficiency. Simultaneously, more financial resources are being invested in tourism infrastructure construction, tourism product development, and tourism promotion. To balance resource allocation, the village has established a special fund to provide support and subsidies for agricultural development, encouraging villagers to develop green and specialty agriculture, promoting mutual development with the tourism industry.

Against the backdrop of a booming tourism economy, the preservation of village culture faces new circumstances and challenges. On the one hand, the influx of tourists has brought the impact of diverse cultures, and some young villagers, influenced by external cultures, have shown a decline in their attention to local traditional culture. For example, the transmission of some traditional folk crafts has experienced a break, with fewer young people willing to learn and inherit them. On the other hand, tourism development has resulted in problems such as insufficient exploration of cultural connotations and a lack of diverse forms of cultural display. To protect the preservation of village culture, the village has taken a series of measures. These include strengthening education and promotion of traditional culture by offering specialized folk culture courses in schools, allowing children to learn about the village's history and culture from a young age; holding folk culture festivals and inviting folk culture experts and artists from various regions to exchange ideas and showcase their work, thereby increasing villagers' and tourists' awareness and interest in local culture; and encouraging villagers to innovate forms of cultural inheritance by combining traditional skills with modern design concepts to develop more competitive cultural products. For example, combining traditional paper-cutting art with modern home decoration to create paper-cutting art picture frames, paper-cutting lampshades, and other products, both preserving culture and increasing income.

The village's infrastructure has also been greatly improved thanks to the tourism economy. To meet the needs of tourists, the village has widened and repaired roads, transforming narrow and winding paths into wide, flat cement roads, facilitating travel for visitors. At the same time, a new sewage treatment plant and garbage disposal station have been built, strengthening environmental protection. In terms of communication, network coverage has been continuously expanded, allowing tourists to easily access the internet from anywhere in the village and share their travel experiences.

The booming tourism economy has also had a profound impact on the village's social structure. Previously, most young people chose to work outside the village, leaving only the elderly and children, making it somewhat deserted. Now, with the development of tourism projects, many young people have returned to the village and devoted themselves to the tourism industry. Some have opened guesthouses, some work for tourism companies, and some are engaged in handicraft production, not only realizing their dreams of employment and entrepreneurship near their homes but also injecting new vitality into the village's development. Interpersonal relationships within the village have also become more harmonious and congenial. In the process of jointly participating in tourism projects, villagers help and cooperate with each other, enhancing their bonds.

Lin Yue watched the village undergo a dramatic transformation driven by the tourism economy, her heart filled with emotion. She knew all these achievements were hard-won, the result of the collective efforts of all the villagers. However, she also clearly recognized that with the rapid development of the tourism economy, some new problems were gradually emerging. For example, how to better protect the village's ecological environment and traditional culture during tourism development; how to further improve the quality of tourism services to meet the increasingly diverse needs of tourists; and how to rationally distribute tourism revenue so that all villagers could share the fruits of tourism development. These issues required her and the villagers to seriously consider and work together to find solutions. But no matter what, she firmly believed that as long as everyone worked together, the village's future would be even brighter. On this land full of hope, the tourism economy will continue to write its glorious chapter, bringing more opportunities and challenges to the village's development, allowing the village to forge ahead in the tide of the times and shine even more brightly.
