Bazhou Cultural Tourism Promotion Conference was held in Guangzhou to sign contracts to attract tourists to the state

China News Service, Guangzhou, September 24 (Reporter Cheng Jingwei) The 2026 "Golden Autumn Feast·Travel in Bazhou" special promotion meeting for cultural tourism resources was held in Guangzhou on the 23rd. The promotion conference aims to further open up the cultural tourism market channel of Xinjiang Bayingolin Mongolian Autonomous Prefecture to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area.

The promotion meeting kicked off with the folk dance "My Bayingoleng". Different from the one-way resource promotion, this promotion meeting adopts the diversified form of "resource explanation + folk custom interpretation + interesting interaction". Promotional representatives from Bazhou and the counties and cities under its jurisdiction took the stage one after another, focusing on the theme of golden autumn travel and explaining in detail the core tourism resources and special tourist routes in each place. During the event, cultural and artistic programs with strong regional customs were interspersed, bringing Bazhou's multi-ethnic culture to the stage of Guangzhou, the flower city.

The core achievement of this event lies in the signing link of "introducing customers to the state". Bazhou's five core cultural tourism sites - Bayinbuluke Scenic Area, Tarim Euphratica Forest Scenic Area in Luntai County, Luobu Village Scenic Area in Yuli County, Malanhongshan Army Expo Park in Heshuo County, and Tiemenguan Scenic Area in Korla City have signed contracts with many key travel agencies in Guangzhou.

This signing breaks geographical barriers and promotes Bazhou’s high-quality cultural tourism resources to be included in the tourism product matrix of the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area. The two parties will use market-oriented cooperation as the starting point to launch group travel products, autumn and winter special routes, explore travel modes such as tourist trains and charter flights, and transform Bazhou's unique resource advantages into tourism market traffic.

At the cultural tourism symposium held after the promotion meeting, representatives from Bazhou and Guangzhou fully exchanged opinions on practical issues such as co-building cultural tourism alliances, joint marketing planning, polishing autumn and winter products, supporting policies for mutual transportation of tourists, and guarantees for large group receptions, and explored possible directions for cooperation.

Shan Jiafu, deputy secretary of the party group and director of the Bazhou Culture, Sports, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau, said that the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has a huge consumer market and diverse travel needs, making it a key source of tourists for Bazhou. In the future, Bazhou will work with cooperative travel agencies to polish autumn and winter tourism products that suit the preferences of tourists in the Greater Bay Area, promote the implementation of special train and charter flight projects, and continue to upgrade tourist reception services.

On the same day, the Bazhou song and dance team also came to Guangzhou's Tianhe core business district to perform a pop-up performance, attracting many citizens to stop and watch. (over)
