New innovation: Empowering the concept of "hot springs+" to create a comprehensive tourism destination
Family hot springs, passionate rafting, passionate homestays, and leisurely countryside have always been the four strong "tracks" of Qingyuan tourism. As a strong tourist city in China, Qingyuan boasts picturesque mountains and abundant hot spring resources, making it a true "hometown of hot springs in China". With leisure vacation becoming a development trend in the tourism industry, the development models of tourism projects are also becoming more diversified. As a leading enterprise in Qingyuan tourism, Gulongxia, in conjunction with its Hezhong Hot Spring Hotel, has taken the lead in proposing the concept of "hot spring+". Through methods such as "hot spring+scenic area", "hot spring+rafting", "hot spring+hotel", and "hot spring+amusement", it has created rich and colorful articles around hot springs. It has also launched a multi scenic spot ticket system with flexible time and high degree of travel freedom, solving the problem of single seasonal tourism, achieving year-round and day night travel, empowering the creation of a comprehensive tourism destination, and promoting the high-quality development of Qingyuan tourism. The person in charge of Hezhong Hot Springs said, "By doing a lot of 'hot spring+' articles, fully leveraging the three advantages of ecology, hot springs, and landscape, continuously enriching the tourism industry to allow tourists to stop, stay, and experience the unique tourism culture of Qingyuan."
