The new version of the General Rules for Tourism Planning will be officially implemented from April 1, 2026. This new regulation focuses on the entire chain of scenic spot planning and management.

1、 Accurately regulate passenger flow, bid farewell to overcrowding, and maintain a more relaxed pace of travel

For a long time, popular scenic spots have been a pain point for tourists when it comes to crowded areas, congested queues, and viewing experiences that are not as good as "seeing people". The new version of the "General Rules for Tourism Planning" provides a clear solution to this, with the core being "precise regulation" and "graded guidance".

The new regulations require scenic spots to establish a refined passenger flow monitoring and warning mechanism, no longer simply relying on a "one size fits all" flow restriction, but based on multidimensional data such as environmental carrying capacity, time flow, and core scenic spot carrying capacity, to achieve dynamic real-time regulation. This means that tourists can also book and enter the park more smoothly during popular periods, and the scenic area will effectively divert passenger flow and avoid congestion through streamlined design and one-way circulation. With the significant optimization of travel pace, tourists will be able to truly slow down their pace, calmly appreciate the scenery, and bid farewell to the rush and fatigue of "just looking at the flowers".

2、 Digging deep into local characteristics, each station has its own charm, rejecting monotony

The problem with many scenic spots is the "one size fits all" and severe homogenization. The new regulations emphasize the importance of "one place, one product, and distinctive features", requiring tourism planning to deeply explore the historical culture, natural scenery, and folk customs of the location.

In the future planning of scenic spots, it will no longer be simply copying and pasting, but integrating local characteristics into every detail of landscape design, business layout, and service experience. Whether it is the gentle charm of the water towns in Jiangnan, the vast grandeur of the northwest desert, or the fireworks atmosphere of the old streets in the city, they will be fully explored and presented. This will give each destination a unique narrative and memory point, allowing tourists to truly understand a city and experience a culture during their travels, achieving an upgrade from "check-in sightseeing" to "deep experience".

3、 Standardized signage and clear navigation standards ensure a smoother travel experience

A clear and comprehensive signage and navigation system is the foundation for ensuring smooth travel for tourists. The new regulations have raised higher standards for the identification system of scenic spots, requiring that guide maps, directional signs, public information graphic symbols, etc. be standardized, prominently located, and accurately displayed.

This means that tourists will no longer easily get lost in unfamiliar scenic spots and can clearly find key facilities such as bathrooms, emergency exits, and rest areas. The signage for accessible facilities, mother and baby rooms, charging stations and other supporting facilities will also be more prominent and complete, fully meeting the travel needs of different groups in all aspects. A standardized and clear tour guide system will greatly reduce the travel costs for tourists, making every departure smooth and worry free.
