Red tourism
Red tourism (Chinese: 红色旅游; pinyin: hóngsè lǚyóu; Russian: красный туризм, romanized: krasniy turizm) is tourism at locations significant to communism. It is a subset of domestic and international tourism in current or former communist countries such as China and Russia, in which people visit locations with historical significance to their "red" (communist) past.
In the People's Republic of China, tourists visit locations with historical significance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) "to rekindle their long-lost sense of class struggle and proletarian principles."
The Office of National Red Tourism Coordination Group (ONRTCG or 'the Red Office') is in charge of red tourism. The Chinese government began actively supporting red tourism in 2005 to promote the "national ethos" and socioeconomic development in those areas, which are typically rural and poorer than East China. The promotion of red tourism thus has both political educational goals and economic goals associated with the broader promotion of domestic tourism. The "General Plan for the Development of Red Tourism in 2004-2010" (2004－2010年全国红色旅游发展规划纲要), issued by the General Office of the Chinese Communist Party and the General Office of the State Council, established the first batch of 100 so-called "red tourism classic scenic spots" (红色旅游经典景区). Various sites were designated as red tourism bases, cities, and classic sites under this plan.
In 2012, officials representing several Chinese cities signed a "China Red Tourism Cities Strategic Cooperation Yan'an Declaration" to develop red tourism. Those cities were Guang'an, Yan'an, Jinggangshan, Ruijin, Zunyi, Shijiazhuang, Qingyang, Chishui, Longyan, and Shaoshan.
In the CCP's view, red tourism strengthens revolutionary traditions, enhances patriotism, and promotes a unique national spirit. A Chinese official said, "This is a major project that benefits both the Party, the nation and the people, either in the economic, cultural and the political sense." In 2004, People's Daily described red tourism as contributing to a virtuous cycle in which through the socialist market economy, social benefits and economic benefits are integrated and "spiritual wealth is transformed into social wealth." Xi Jinping recommends that Chinese visit these revolutionary sites to develop "historical confidence" in socialism.
The number of red tourism sites has continuously grown since its inception in 2005. Significant sites include:
Other significant sites for red tourism in China include Dazhai village in Shanxi province which was promoted for its model agricultural work in the Mao-era learn from Dazhai campaign. Dazhai hosts the Chinese Dream Red-Theme museum.
Liangjiahe, where Xi Jinping lived for seven years during the Cultural Revolution, is also a significant red tourism location.
