重庆成中国最具吸引力旅游城市让重庆旅游走向世界

标准排名（中国）研究院5月发布了《2015年中国旅游城市吸引力排行榜》，重庆排名第一，成为最具吸引力旅游城市。榜单显示，吸引力指数位居前十位的城市分别是重庆、上海、北京、成都、杭州、苏州、无锡、南京、武汉和广州。

记者从榜单中看到，在2014年旅游接待人数这项指标上，重庆以3.49亿人次排名第一。在2014年旅游总收入上，重庆以2003.37亿元排名第五。在游客满意度得分上，重庆也在前十。

此前，福布斯中文版以综合旅游收入最高的100个地级以上城市为候选，根据其年度国内旅游人数、入境旅游人数、国内旅游收入、旅游外汇收入、所在地的星级饭店数、4A及以上旅游景区数等六个指标加权计算以确定最终排名。2013年到2014年，重庆在以上六个指标评分的排名中，国内旅游人数和入境旅游人数排名上升，其中重庆国内旅游人数最为突出，评分排名由第三升至第一，达3.46亿人次，而广州排名第三十一，近邻成都排名第六。

发展旅游产业成为重庆的重头戏之一。4月22日，中共重庆市委书记孙政才主持召开市委常委会会议，听取全市旅游业发展情况的汇报，研究促进旅游业发展相关工作。会议指出，旅游业是现代服务业的重要组成部分，也是综合性、战略性产业，资源消耗低，产业关联度大，就业机会多，是富民产业、绿色产业、可持续产业。加快旅游业改革发展，对于扩内需、稳增长、调结构、促就业、惠民生意义重大。重庆自然、人文、历史资源丰富，旅游业发展潜力巨大，大有可为。

据2015年重庆旅游工作会议上公布的数据显示，2014年重庆市旅游总收入突破了2000亿元大关，同比增长13.1%，旅游接待总人数达3.49亿人次，同比增长13.2%，两项指标增速均比2013年高出一倍。

近年来，重庆高水平做好规划，形成了各具特色、整体联动的旅游发展格局。目前，重庆拥有大足石刻世界文化遗产、武隆喀斯特和南川金佛山喀斯特世界自然遗产等6个国家5A级旅游景区。重庆打造并荣获“世界温泉之都”魅力无穷，重庆提出的“非去不可”品牌深入人心。此外，世界上唯一乘船游览的大峡谷长江三峡是中国推向世界的黄金旅游线路，被誉为世界第一悬挑玻璃景观廊桥的云阳悬空玻璃廊桥等较为完善的硬件服务设施及管理服务水平，有力地促进了景区提档升级，带动了景区周边区域的旅游经济发展，有利于形成更多的景区特色品牌旅游点，吸引众多慕名前来的游客。

如何更好地吸引国外游客，将重庆这座城市真正推向世界，成为国际知名旅游城市，为世界所晓，正是重庆旅游业努力的方向。“对外，加强宣传推介，增强重庆对国内外旅客的吸引力；对内，推动旅游业转型升级，打造多层次、有特色的旅游景点，不断提升旅游服务水平。”这是4月22日市委常委会对重庆旅游业提出的要求。

据悉，重庆已开通国际（地区）客运航线36条，通航城市33个，其中，定期执行的国际（地区）航线33条，通航城市覆盖了赫尔辛基、多哈、旧金山、悉尼、新加坡、首尔、东京、大阪、曼谷、普吉、济州、暹粒、金边、清迈、马累、科伦坡，中国香港、澳门地区，台湾地区的台北、高雄等，今年4月重庆与意大利罗马的直航也开通，同时将争取开通到美国的直航航班。

目前，重庆已与世界各国33座城市缔结为友好城市。英国、柬埔寨、日本、菲律宾、匈牙利、埃塞俄比亚、加拿大、丹麦、荷兰、意大利等十国也相继在重庆设立总领事馆，各外国驻渝总领事馆的设立，不仅为本市及周边城市的居民出国签证提供便利，同时让更多国外游客来到重庆观光游览，更加有力地推进了重庆与世界各国的人际交往和旅游往来，让重庆走向世界。
