Xinjiang deploys implementation of the 15th Five-Year Plan for building a tourism powerhouse

On November 5, 2026, Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region's culture and tourism system aligned with the "15th Five-Year Plan for Building a Tourism Powerhouse," proposing that by 2030 breakthrough progress will be made in building a culturally strong region and a tourism strong region, and Xinjiang will become a Silk Road Economic Belt tourism hub. The report states that Xinjiang will optimize the "one core, three belts, four centers, multiple nodes" spatial layout of the culture and tourism industry, strengthen the two signature products of self-driving tourism and ice-and-snow tourism, and expand the application of generative artificial intelligence in areas such as intelligent tour guiding, tourist services, and cultural relic protection. At present, this deployment is in the stage of being pushed forward for implementation, and the report did not disclose a specific implementation timetable or phased arrangements.
