Director Zhou of the Xiangcheng Culture and Tourism Bureau was waiting at the station with his staff early in the morning, and they successfully met with Qin Zi'an as soon as possible.
After some pleasantries, everyone officially got down to business regarding this cultural and tourism exchange.
Director Zhou was an honest man, and he directly gave Qin Zi'an the real data report on Xiangcheng's cultural tourism.
The reports show that Xiangcheng's cultural tourism industry has always been booming.
Especially during holidays, tens of thousands of tourists come to Xiangcheng for sightseeing.
Orange Isle, Hunan cuisine, Miao culture...
Any one of them, if chosen individually, could attract thousands of tourists.
It is precisely because of Xiangcheng's status as a tourist city that prices in Xiangcheng have been rising year by year, to the point that they are now in such an outrageous state.
After his investigation in Shu, Qin Zian knew very well that it would be very difficult to completely change prices.
Prices affect all aspects of life; a change in one part can have far-reaching consequences.
Since there's no way to change the current situation of high prices, we should adapt to the city's own development and promote its unique characteristics.
Seeing that Qin Zi'an had turned his gaze away from the report, Director Zhou asked with a smile.
"Xiao Qin, have you finished reviewing the report? Do you have any thoughts?"
"Director Zhou, Xiangcheng's cultural tourism industry is very developed. Even without promotion, many tourists will come spontaneously." Qin Zi'an paused, then continued, "Xiangcheng invited me here because they want to... improve the city's reputation and expand the reach of their cultural tourism?"
After hearing Qin Zi'an's answer, Director Zhou nodded in approval and praised him even more.
In fact, Xiangcheng's tourism brand has already been established, and the benefits are very good.
Otherwise, the merchants in Xiangcheng wouldn't dare to rip off customers so blatantly.
Undeniably, the actions of these businesses have boosted the creativity of Xiangcheng's cultural tourism industry, making the figures on Xiangcheng's cultural tourism reports look better.
But at the same time, Xiangcheng's reputation is also declining sharply.
Director Zhou invited Qin Zi'an over to improve the reputation of Xiangcheng's cultural tourism and ensure that Xiangcheng's popularity and fame continue to grow steadily.
"Xiao Qin, you're absolutely right. This is exactly what our Xiangcheng Culture and Tourism Bureau is working hard on. Do you... have any good ideas?"
"But prices are indeed difficult to manage."
After asking Qin Zi'an for his thoughts, Director Zhou added that prices were not subject to change.
As Xiangcheng's cultural and tourism industry has developed to this point, prices have stabilized, and there is now a clear and standardized profile for tourists.
Tourists visiting Xiangcheng also understand that they need to have sufficient travel funds.
In Xiangcheng, budget travel has become a difficult task.
Faced with Director Zhou's request, Qin Zi'an smiled and was not constrained by it.
"Director Zhou, high prices are not the problem; the main issue is the short weight. If products are clearly priced, tourists will know what's going on and won't have their travel enjoyment spoiled."
“Well…we understand.” Director Zhou paused, as if he had made a great decision. “I will immediately send relevant department staff to conduct on-site inspections to prevent similar malicious incidents from happening again.”
Since Director Zhou had already said that, Qin Zi'an didn't dwell on the topic any further.
After all, there's a lot more to this than just a cultural and tourism investigator from out of town; it's not something he, an outsider, can easily get involved in.
Ever since Qin Zian accepted the invitation from the Xiangcheng Culture and Tourism Bureau, he has been thinking about how to help Xiangcheng break out of its cultural and tourism boundaries while maintaining its unique promotional characteristics.
Looking across the entire country, there are many beautiful landscapes, including some cultural and tourist cities that offer excellent value for money.
From the perspective of the general public, Qin Zi'an would definitely prioritize recommending that they travel to cities with low prices.
Nobody's money grows on trees, and travel that offers great value for money will definitely be more popular.
Moreover, Xiangcheng's cultural and tourism industry is already well-developed, so there is no shortage of tourists.
Adhering to the principle of "Chinese people do not deceive Chinese people, and Chinese people do not cheat Chinese people", Qin Zian decided to broaden the audience of cultural tourism.
Since Qin Zi'an began promoting Chinese culture and tourism, netizens from all over the world have been attracted by China's delicious food, beautiful scenery, and culture, and have expressed a strong desire to travel to China.
Unfortunately, due to factors such as the long distance, they were never able to go.
This time, Qin Zian decided to push them a little, forcing them to come to Xiangcheng for tourism.
In a tourist city like Xiangcheng with such high prices, it's certainly not fair to let international friends have a good time.
Moreover, this involves international tourism, so factors such as travel distance and visa requirements need to be considered.
Therefore, Qin Zian decided to focus his propaganda efforts on the neighboring country, South Korea, which had recently made a fool of itself on the international stage.
Over the years, South Korea has taken advantage of China so much that their mental state has begun to deteriorate.
Whenever they come across something good, they always say it's from South Korea.
Now things are much better; their application for World Heritage status has been revoked, and they'll never dare to steal culture again.
However, such administrative penalties alone are far from sufficient.
The top leadership of China, mindful of international repercussions and in order to project an image of a great power, refrained from condemning South Korea.
So, it goes without saying that we should seek compensation from them.
Because of this incident, some Chinese netizens are complaining and saying that they don't want such a situation anymore.
South Korea has already gone to such lengths; there's no reason for them to let these thieves off so easily.
Even now, the topic remains very popular.
Since we can't directly demand compensation, let's attract South Koreans to Xiangcheng for tourism.
In this way, Xiangcheng's cultural tourism can break out of its traditional boundaries and indirectly extract some money from the pockets of South Korean citizens.
Qin Zian thought it was feasible just by thinking about such a win-win situation.
Just now, while looking at the Xiangcheng cultural tourism report, Qin Zian noticed that Zhangjiajie had received a lot of South Korean citizens.
The people of South Korea have always loved climbing and spend a lot of money on it every year.
In fact, these people of all sizes spent far more money climbing mountains than they did on cosmetics and other consumer items.
For the people of China, the gate to Zhangjiajie is the gate to the underworld; it's incredibly difficult to climb.
But for the Koreans, Zhangjiajie's beautiful mountains and rivers are like paradise.
Simply promoting the beautiful scenery wouldn't work, so Qin Zi'an decided to try a different approach...
