Shaanxi Tourism Group Company climbs into top 20

Shaanxi Tourism Group Company, a wholly State-owned company headquartered in Xi’an, Shaanxi province, Northwest China, has become one of the top 20 tourism groups in China, despite the serious setbacks that the tourism industry has suffered due to this year's epidemic.

Shaanxi Tourism Group Company is announced as one of the top 20 tourism groups in China at the China Tourism Group Development Forum 2020, held in Beijing on Dec 12-14.

As a leading force in China's tourism sector, the China Tourism Group's Top 20 list has been the focus of attention for people from many walks of life since it was first released in 2009.

"Top 20 China Tourism Groups" is a list created using the important index of operating income, which reflects the health of enterprises in the tourism economy. The list is a key signifier of advanced productivity in the tourism industry and inclusion on it is known as a top achievement among China's tourism enterprises.

As they are so well-established - and due to the geographical advantages and the objective differences in terms of economic development and consumption capacity between the eastern and western regions of China - the tourism enterprises from Beijing, Shanghai, Guangdong and other eastern coastal cities with developed economies and both tourist sources and destinations occupy a large proportion of the top 20 list.

Zhou Bing, secretary of the Party committee and chairman of Shaanxi Tourism Group Company, delivers a speech at the forum.

Shaanxi Tourism Group, established in December 1998, adheres to the concept of "deeply excavating historical culture and creating excellent projects", integrates its tourism resources and has developed rapidly, said Zhou Bing, secretary of the Party committee and chairman of Shaanxi Tourism Group Company.

At present, Zhou said, the subordinate enterprises of Shaanxi Tourism Group Company have grown from 16 at the beginning of its establishment to 118, with more than 10,000 employees in the system and total assets of 32 billion yuan. The group's scale, output value and product influence have made great progress, making it worthy of being placed among the top 20 China Tourism Groups.
