The 2018 Tourist Season Plan Conference was held on the morning of March 28th to study problems which call for municipal assistance, striving for a better achievement than last year. Meng Xiangwei, secretary of the CPC municipal Committee, emphasized at the conference that we should uphold the spirit of the 19th Communist Party of China National Congress and Xi Jinping’s Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, putting in place the people-centered development vision and consolidate the grass roots service by implementing an all-year-round and routinized mechanism in order to push all the work of the city to a new stage.
Also present at the conference were members of the four municipal leadership teams and those in charge of the counties, districts and the Developing Zone, Beidahe New Zone and departments and offices under the Municipality. The conference was chaired by Zhang Ruishu, mayor and deputy secretary of the CPC Qinhuangdao Committee.
The conference discussed the current problems as to how to prepare for the coming tourist season. Some problems were resolved on the spot and a temporary solutions was made for others, where the concerned department were required to come up with the schedule and itinerary. Tian Jinchang, deputy secretary of the CPC Qinhuangdao Committee and Yan Wuyi, member of the CPC Qinhuangdao Standing Committee and secretary of politics and law committee made a detailed requirement and arrangement as well. All the leaders present respectively made a brief report on their own responsibilities.
Meng pointed out that this year, we will face new challenges and demand with new problems in the tourist season. This is the first season since the 19th Communist Party of China National Congress, and since we have been awarded one of National Civilized Cities and since our successful hosting of the 2nd Hebei Province Tourism Development Conference. This is another tourist season which follows the fruitful 2017 tourism and remarkable achievements in economic and social development. The departments and offices at all levels should make greater efforts by deepening vision, minding the details, and substantiating work plans in order to take a leap in the course of building an internal tourist city, to offer better tourist services and to satisfy our people’s desire for a wonderful life.
Meng stressed that we should adhere to the spirit of the 19th National Congress of the Communist Party of China and Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era in order that we can take a big step in tourism services this year. Firstly, we must have in mind what we have achieved and explore a sound, scientific and efficient system to keep and routinize these practices. We should shift from the old practices of meeting the contingency perfunctorily to the mechanism for long-term and long-acting effects and focus on day-to-day efforts. Only in this way can we do a profound, down-to-earth, precise job and make it last through “Reaching Every Corner of Qinhuangdao” initiative.
Secondly, we must work in a scientific and innovative way and develop our own brand and strive for accurate, precise and wonderful services. During the tourist season, we should reduce cost with new technology, raise the quality with innovation and reap benefit by developing our brand names. To deal with new problems, we should adopt an economic way of thinking, take into consideration market demand and work out a solution graphically illustrated with technical means. In landscaping, emergency handling, ecological construction, urban management, Tour-City identity and ethic practice, we should apply great efforts so as to build a Qinhuangdao with its own characteristics and win a good reputation among the tourists.
Thirdly, we must take the tourism season for an exam as a measure of our performance in order to push Qinhuangdao to a whole new platform. What we have done to the tourism industry—our responsibilities, good execution, commitment, accuracy and efficient mechanism can be extended to other fields to set the whole city alight, and this will become the first and foremost driver of social and economic development and a better and happier life.
Meng ended by saying what we have achieved in the past two years should also be attributed to the changes in the work performance: the leadership fulfill their obligations in person. Systems such as river-chief, road-chief, section-chief and bay-chief, and “Reaching Every Corner of Qinhuangdao” initiative defined clear responsibilities for each person in charge. Leaders take the lead and people follow with passion, and in this way, a live picture is unfolding with about 3,000,000 people working together toward the same goal of building a prosperous tomorrow.
All ranks of cadres should always stick to the principle of discovering problems at the basic level and having them resolved right there, which is a means of implementing the decisions of the central government, of serving the people and learning about their needs, of self-improving, purifying our mind and strengthening party spirit cultivation. Every cadre should work as a problem terminator and development propeller. (Qinhuangdao Daily)
