Rewards and Subsidy Methods: The data of tourists from outside the province traveling to Jiangsu accounted for up to 70% in the evaluation
The "Measures" show that the applicants for this award and subsidy are travel agencies with independent legal personality established in accordance with the law in our province. During the period from March 19 to November 30, 2020, travel agencies that operate Jiangsu people’s tours to Jiangsu and tourists from outside the province need to meet the requirements of not less than 3,000 person-days and the number of employees paying social insurance. 5 people, who have not been subject to administrative penalties such as fines or above from the culture and tourism administrative departments. The
evaluation rules are as follows: 30% of the number of days the organization travels to Jiangsu and 70% of the number of days visited by tourists from outside the province. The sum of the weighted coefficients is sorted from large to small. The number of days the travel agency group will pick up tourists is calculated based on the length of stay of tourists in Jiangsu. A 1-day trip is counted as 1 person-day (there is at least 1 paid scenic spot), a 1-night tour is counted as 2 person-days, a 2-night tour is counted as 3 person-days, and so on. Among them, the number of pick-up days for Jiangsu premium tourist routes is calculated as 2 times. Eventually, about 100 travel agencies will receive subsidies, which will be divided into three levels.
Policy Interpretation: Attracting tourists from outside the province can further stimulate consumption
"The standards for the 3-level award and subsidy have not yet been finalized. It depends on the number of travel agency entrepreneurs who actually meet the conditions for the award and subsidy." The person in charge of the relevant departments of the Jiangsu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism told Modern Times Express reporter, the proportion in the assessment rules is set to attract tourists from outside the province to visit Jiangsu. "Jiangsu people generally do not stay overnight in Jiangsu, or their stay is relatively short. Tourists from outside the province generally stay in Jiangsu, which can boost consumption." ."

"Through these 30 routes, tourism consumption in Jiangsu as a whole can be stimulated, instead of being overly concentrated in one area, which can solve the problem of uneven tourism development in the province."
