Guangxi issued a three-year action plan to improve the supporting facilities of tourist homestays.
Recently, the General Office of the People's Government of the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region issued the Three - year Action Plan for Improving the Supporting Facilities of Tourism B&Bs in Guangxi, proposing 18 key tasks in five aspects, including improving the planning layout, infrastructure, public service facilities, environmental quality, and support policies.
The plan adheres to the principles of "ecological priority, resource integration, market - driven, quality improvement, and highlighting characteristics". The goal is that by 2028, the power supply reliability rate of tourism B&Bs in the whole region will reach over 99.9%, the coverage rate of domestic waste facilities in 10 key tourism B&B clusters will reach over 95%, and the proportion of public parking spaces equipped with or reserved for charging infrastructure installation conditions will be no less than 20%.
Meanwhile, Guangxi will build 10 key tourism B&B clusters, such as Yangshuo's mountain - and - water living area, Daxin's border - style area, and Zhaoping's Huangyao Ancient Town. It will support B&Bs to integrate elements such as farming culture, strive for "one B&B, one characteristic" and "one B&B, one theme", and promote the full coverage of domestic sewage and waste treatment systems and 5G networks.
