Chapter 944 Tourism Management
In order to attract tourists quickly, some villages blindly follow the trend of construction, lack of characteristics and planning, resulting in the chaos of homogeneous competition in the tourism market. Qi Tongwei knows that this disorderly competition will not only reduce the tourism appeal of the entire region, but also may destroy the original ecological and cultural environment of the village.
At the same time, some conflicts of interest emerged within the village. With the increase in tourists, there were more and more business opportunities in the village. In order to pursue personal interests, some villagers began to raise prices privately, and even sold inferior goods as good ones. This not only harmed the interests of tourists, but also affected the reputation of the village. Qi Tongwei realized that a complete management system must be established to regulate the villagers' business behavior and maintain the good image of the village.
In the process of solving these problems, Qi Tongwei deeply realized that rural development is not achieved overnight, but a long-term and complex system project. It involves multiple aspects such as economy, culture, ecology, and society. Problems in any link may affect the development process of the entire village.
However, fate did not seem to let Qi Tongwei get through this period easily. One day, a mysterious old man suddenly came to the village. The old man claimed to be proficient in metaphysics and could see through the mysteries of all things in the world. He told Qi Tongwei that the various problems that had recently occurred in the village were not accidental, but were affected by a mysterious force. This force originated from the depths of the village's history and was closely related to the rise and fall of the village.
Qi Tongwei was skeptical about the old man's words, but he also knew that on the road of rural development, some problems are indeed difficult to explain with scientific methods. So he decided to follow the old man to explore the secrets behind it. The old man took Qi Tongwei to the back mountain of the village, where there was an ancient temple that was said to have existed for hundreds of years. The walls of the temple were engraved with strange symbols and patterns, as if telling a forgotten history.
The old man told Qi Tongwei that these symbols and patterns contain the code of the village's destiny. In the past, the ancestors of the village held a grand sacrificial ceremony here to resist foreign invasion. In the ceremony, they prayed for the protection of the gods and vowed to protect this land. However, as time went by, the descendants of the village gradually forgot this oath, which led to the anger of the gods and triggered a series of disasters.
After hearing this, Qi Tongwei fell into deep thought. He realized that to solve the current problems facing the village, it was necessary not only to start from the economic and management levels, but also to find the root causes from the cultural and spiritual levels. So he decided to organize the villagers to renovate the ancient temple and hold a solemn sacrificial ceremony to express respect for the ancestors and awe of the gods.
During the preparations for the sacrificial ceremony, Qi Tongwei fully utilized the power of the villagers. Everyone donated money and materials and actively participated in the repair of the temple. Some villagers who were good at traditional handicrafts also took the initiative to undertake the tasks of carving temple decorations and making sacrificial supplies. In this process, the cohesion and sense of belonging of the villagers were further enhanced.
On the day of the sacrificial ceremony, the whole village was immersed in a solemn atmosphere. The villagers dressed in traditional costumes, holding offerings, and came to the temple with a pious heart. Qi Tongwei led everyone to hold a series of sacrificial ceremonies, expressing the village's determination to develop and its beautiful expectations for the future to the ancestors and gods.
Unexpectedly, after the sacrificial ceremony, some problems in the village were alleviated. Prices gradually stabilized, and the villagers' business practices became more standardized. Tourists' satisfaction also improved, and the village's tourism popularity rose again.
However, Qi Tongwei did not relax his vigilance. He knew that sacrificial ceremonies were only a spiritual sustenance, and that to truly solve the problems of rural development, scientific methods and unremitting efforts were needed. So he began to organize a series of training activities for the villagers to improve their cultural quality and business management capabilities.
He invited professional agricultural technicians to teach the villagers modern planting and breeding techniques to improve the quality and output of agricultural products. At the same time, he also invited tourism management experts to explain the norms and skills of tourism services to the villagers and improve the level of tourism services in the village.
In terms of cultural construction, Qi Tongwei has stepped up efforts to protect and inherit the traditional culture of the village. He organized villagers to sort out and compile historical and cultural materials of the village and established a rural cultural museum to let more people know about the history and culture of the village. In addition, he also encouraged villagers to inherit and carry forward traditional handicrafts, such as paper cutting, weaving, pottery, etc., and transform these traditional skills into tourism products to increase villagers' income.
As the village continued to develop, Qi Tongwei began to think about how to organically integrate the development of the village with the surrounding villages to form a coordinated development area. He actively communicated and exchanged ideas with the leaders of the surrounding villages to jointly explore the models and ways of cooperation.
After many consultations, they decided to establish a rural tourism alliance to integrate the tourism resources in the region, jointly create a tourism brand, and achieve complementary advantages. Under the framework of the alliance, each village develops different tourism projects based on its own characteristics and advantages to form differentiated competition. At the same time, they also jointly formulated tourism service standards, strengthened supervision of the tourism market, and safeguarded the legitimate rights and interests of tourists.
In terms of ecological protection, Qi Tongwei led the villagers to actively practice the concept of green development. They increased the protection of the village's ecological environment and strengthened the management of water resources, land resources and forest resources. At the same time, they also actively promoted the use of clean energy to reduce environmental pollution.
In order to increase the popularity and influence of the village, Qi Tongwei also actively used the Internet platform to carry out publicity and promotion of rural tourism. He organized villagers to shoot a series of rural tourism promotional videos and broadcast them on major online platforms. At the same time, he also used social media platforms to interact with tourists, understand their needs and feedback in a timely manner, and continuously improve the village's tourism services.
With the continuous development and growth of the rural tourism alliance, the tourism market in the region has gradually matured. More and more tourists are attracted here to experience the natural scenery and cultural charm of the countryside. The village's economy has also been further improved, and the living standards of the villagers are getting better and better.
However, Qi Tongwei was not satisfied with the status quo. He knew that rural development was an endless process, and only by continuous innovation and progress could we adapt to the development and changes of the times. So he began to pay attention to emerging tourism formats, such as rural study tourism and health tourism.
