time:2025-09-25

Huai'an City emphasizes optimizing the business environment. It is leveraging efficient services and precise support to drive high-quality development in the tourism sector.

The city strives to reduce entity burdens with classified measures. It has categorized the tourism industry into two segments: the traditional segment for upgrading and the emerging segment for integrating development. Huai'an has established a tiered reward system linked to brand levels. It has defined clear classification standards to assist market participants in accurately identifying their development direction and provide precise developmental guidance.

Huai'an has innovated in incentives to break bottlenecks. It has implemented special rewards for "four new" projects, evaluated and awarded such projects based on criteria such as innovation, demonstration effects, and societal impact, and prioritized technological empowerment for cultural and tourism development. Huai'an also aids enterprises in overcoming technical application challenges. It has introduced incentives for cultural and creative tourism products to fully activate enterprise R&D initiatives, promoting innovation and upgrading cultural tourism offerings.

With multi-faceted support, Huai'an integrates resources. The city subsidizes cultural and tourism enterprises and institutions to cooperate with the media. It encourages new media entities or individuals to independently promote the city's tourism resources by offering tiered rewards. Moreover, Huai'an rewards travel agencies and educational bases that attract domestic and international tourists significantly. It also incorporates tourism professionals into the "Huaishang Talent Program" and offers incentives for skilled personnel.

Huai'an optimizes processes to enhance efficiency. Adopting the "No Application, Direct Subsidy" policy, Huai'an directly disburses rewards and subsidies to eligible tourism enterprises and institutions based on official documents, achieving "direct reward distribution without enterprise application." It has established a "municipal and county financial responsibility sharing mechanism" for rewards, targeting the upgrading of traditional and integration of innovative formats, alleviating financial burdens of the primary-level entities, and ensuring the consistent implementation of incentive policies.
