在中国共产党中央委员会的经济工作会议中，中国的旅游业被定为国民经济的新增长点。这不仅提高了旅游业在经济和社会发展中的地位，同时也为旅游业在下个世纪的发展铺平了道路。

通过检查，评选出了54个旅游城市，这样的评选不仅改善了城市旅游环境，也加快了城市旅游业国际化和现代化的进程。

尽管国际市场的环境并不好，但是我国的旅游业仍然保持持续的增长，海外游客的稳定增长促进了国旅游业的发展。

1998年，旅游业的总收入为3430亿元人民币，比去年增长了10.2%，为实现国民经济预定的增长目标做出了巨大的贡献。

征得国务院的同意，我们引进了关于试建中外合资旅游机构的暂行办法，由于这一办法的颁布，形成了进一步扩大旅游业对外开放的新构架。这一办法会帮助我们打开吸引游客，从海外旅游业中引进先进的管理经验的渠道，这同样也会给国的旅游业市场带来新的竞争。

Tourism industry was designated as a new economic growth point in the national economy at the conference on economic work held by the central committee of the communist party of China. The move promoted the status of tourist industry sector in the economy and social development, paving the way for the rapid development of tourist industry in the next century.//

The top 54 tourist cities were selected throughout the country by examination, the event has not only improved the environment for urban tourist development, but also has speeded up the internationalization and modernization of tourist cities.//

Continuous growth was obtained despite the adverse circumstance of the international market. A steady growth in overseas travelers has given an impetus to the domestic tourist industry.//

In 1998, the total volume of income from tourism amounted to 343 billion yuan, an increase of 10.2 % over the previous year, contributing greatly to realizing the preset growth target with regard to the national economy.//

A Provision Method for Trial Establishment of Sino-Foreign Joint-venture Travel Agency was introduced with the approval of the State Council. A new structure to further expand the opening of tourist industry has emerged thanks to the promulgation of the Method. It will help open new channels for attracting expertise from overseas travel services, which will also bring about a new competitiveness in the domestic travel service market.//

1-2. Not long ago, the secretary general of the world tourism organization said, “ the Asia financial crisis has slowed down the development of world tourism, but the Chinese tourism industry has maintained a high growth speed” He predicted that by 2020, china will become the largest tourism country in the world.

世界旅游组织秘书长日前认定，金融危机使世界旅游业放慢了增长速度，而中国旅游业却继续保持着强劲增长势头，他预测到2020年，中国将有望成为世界第一旅游大国。

The secretary general was attending the 98 China International Tourism Fair, held in Shanghai. At the fair, he quoted a survey report as saying: Due to the financial crisis in Asia, the number of tourists coming and going between the Asian countries has dropped by a large margin since summer 1997. The growth speed of world tourism decreased from 5.5 percent in 1996 to 3.8 percent in 1997.

秘书长出席了98中国国际旅游交易会，他援引世界旅游组织一份分析报告说，由于金融危机的影响，亚洲各国之间出入境旅游人数从1997年夏季开始大幅度减少，世界旅游业的增长速度因此由1996年的5.5%下降到去年的3.8%.

From January to August 1998, the number of tourists entering China totaled 41.3284 million people/times, or an increase of 12.22 percent over the figure for the corresponding period of last year. Foreign exchange earnings generated by tourism reached 8.198 billion US dollars, or an increase of 5.55 percent over those of the corresponding period of last year. The number of overseas tourists coming to China has kept growing, except from the other Asian countries, the number of whose tourists has shown a slight reduction.

1998年1至8月，我国旅游入境人数达4132.84万人次，比1997年同期增长12.22%。旅游外汇收入达81.98亿美元，比1997年同期增长5.55%。国际客源市场中，除亚洲市场有所下降外，其它各市场均有增长。

The secretary general pointed out that china’s tourism industry has shown a rising trend during the Asian financial crisis, and the Chinese people should be proud of this, he said. In 1990, the number of foreign tourists entering china ranked 12th in the world, and in 1997, the sixth; and its foreign exchange earnings generated from tourism ranked 25th in the world in 1990, and eighth in 1997. The constant depening of china’s reform and opening to the outside world has greatly promoted the development of china’s tourism. It is predicted that by 2020, the number of tourist worldwide will be about 1.6 billion, of whom 137 million will come to China.

秘书长指出，中国旅游业在亚洲金融危机中仍出现上升势头，是值得自豪的。 1997年中国的旅游入境人数在世界上的排名由1990的第12位上升到第6位，旅游外汇收入则从第25位升至第8位。他认为，中国改革开放的不断深入使旅游业随之得到了强劲发展，预计到

2020年，全世界旅游人数将接近 16亿，其中1.37亿人将到中国旅游。

The secretary general said that he like china very much, because china is a “very lovely country”, it has beaches, plains and mountains, as well as one of the most ancient civilizations in the world, he pointed out. He is right: China’s 5000-year history of civilization is an invaluable tourism resource which is attracting more and more tourists from all over the world.

秘书长说，他非常喜欢中国，因为中国是个“十分可爱的国家”，他不仅拥有海滩，平原和山脉，而且是世界文明古国之一。中国五千年文明史就是最大的旅游资源，正在越来越多地吸引着世界各地的旅游者。

自从改革开放政策的实施，中国旅游业的发展比国民经济的总体发展还要快。举个例子，从1978年到1996年，旅游业所得外汇从2.6亿美元增加到102亿美元。也就是平均每年增长了22%。

国际旅游业的发展经历了几个历史阶段。随着92中国旅游业取得巨大成功。旅游部门又连续推出93中国山水游，94中国文化古迹游，95中国民俗风情游，96中国度假胜地游，97中国旅游年。98中国城市乡村游和99中国生态游等特色旅游。这些活动为国家挣得了外汇，促进了旅游业和国民经济的发展。

旅游基础设施也在不断地得到调整，改进，完善，旅游胜地的规划也越来越合理，在旅游业的发展中，我们加强了结构调整。各种服务每年都得到改善和扩展，除了法杖12个国家级的度假村外，我们还提供了如划船，探险，狩猎和其他数十种具有特色的代办旅游，以丝绸之路，长江三峡和其他一些路线为中心旅游，丰富了旅游业务，中国和西部地区的旅游业也有了显著的发展。

Since the reform and opening policy was first instituted, China’s tourism industry has developed more rapidly than the overall national economy. For example, from 1978 to 1996, foreign exchange earnings derived from tourism rose from 260 million U.S. Dollars to 10.2 billion U.S.Dollars, an average annual growth of 22%.//

International tourism has leapt over several historical stages of development. In the wake of the resounding success of The Visit China 92 program, tourism authorities launched theme activities like China Landscape 93, China Heritage 94, China Folklore 95, China Resort 96, Visit China 97, China City and Country Tour 98 and Ecology Tour 99, all these activities have earned foreign exchange for the country and have improved the development of domestic tourism and national economy.//

Tourism infrastructure has been continuously adjusted, improved and optimized. The arrangements within the tourism resorts have made more and more rational. In the

development of tourism, structure adjustments have been strengthened and the variety of offerings has been improved and expanded each year. In additional to the development of 12 state-level holiday resorts, China also offers tours involving boating, exploration, hunting and dozens of other specialized tour package. Tours centered on Silk Road, Yangtze River Three Gorge and some other tour itineraries have enriched the tourism service. Tourism industry in the central and western regions has come to the fore in fierce development.//

1-4．Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country, if tourist create too much traffic, the inhabitants became annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country keep the customs and the beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also improve that well-being of local inhabitants.

没有合理的规划，旅游业将会导致麻烦。比如，过多的游客会令那个国家的所有公共场所拥挤不堪，而这些场所同时也是当地人们享有的。如果游客令交通拥挤，当地居民将会感到不高兴甚至恼火。他们开始不喜欢游客，也不再会礼貌地对待他们。当地人会忘记旅游业给他们的经济带来了多少好处。所以，经常想想旅游目的地国家的那些当地人，想想旅游对他们的影响，这非常重要。旅游业应该帮助一个国家保存它的那些吸引游客的风俗文化和美丽风景；同时旅游业也应该保证当地居民的幸福健康。

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.

旅游业太发达也会是一个问题。如果旅游业发展得太快，人们就必须放下其他工作来服务于旅游业。这意味着这个国家的其他经济项目将受到影响。

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Business can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, first-class roads and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international-class hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build, if this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

另一方面，如果旅游业不足，人们就可能失业，一些商业也会亏本。修建大酒店，机场，一级公路和其他吸引游客所需的服务设施需要大笔资金。比如，修建一个国际级大酒店的一个客房就得耗资5万美元，如果这个客房大部分时间都空着，那这家酒店的老板就得亏本。

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle wastes and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists, jobs and money are lost.

修建一个酒店只是刚刚开始，还需要有很多辅助设施，比如通往酒店的道路，酒店的供电，处理污水的阴沟等等，所有这些辅助设施都需要钱。如果这些设施仅仅是因为没有足够的游客而闲置着，那人们就会丢掉工作，也会损失钱财。
