Six departments issue document to promote integration of historical classic industries with culture and tourism

On October 27, 2026, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and four other departments jointly issued the "Guiding Opinions on Promoting the High-Quality Development of Historical Classic Industries", proposing to build a full-chain ecosystem of "historical classics + tourism". Reports say that production areas such as Hejiang traditional soy sauce in Sichuan, Suzhou silk industrial heritage, and Jingdezhen ceramics have launched sightseeing, study, and hands-on experience programs; data from an online platform shows that as of September this year, searches for interest-driven "experiential" content grew 48% month-on-month. The opinions have now been issued, and related production area projects have been implemented; no further reports on subsequent implementation progress have been seen.
