October 8，The official website of the Central People's Government released the "State Council's Agreement on the Consent in Tianjin"、Shanghai、Hainan、Chongqing’s Approval on Temporarily Adjusting the Implementation of Relevant Administrative Regulations” (hereinafter referred to as the “Approval”)，Agree from now until April 8, 2024，Temporarily adjust and implement the "Travel Agency Regulations" in relevant provinces and cities、Relevant provisions of the "Interim Regulations on the Registration and Management of Private Non-Enterprise Units"。mentioned in it，Allowed in Shanghai、A foreign-invested travel agency established in Chongqing and qualified to engage in outbound 188bet sports betting app download business except Taiwan。

Because we are currently at a special time node，Not a big news at first，But it has attracted great attention from the 188bet sports betting app download industry and made many interpretations。

That’s for sure，Some opinions are obviously over-interpretation。For example，Many people think this is a signal for the resumption of outbound 188bet sports betting app download business，Yunyun。This is not understanding the background of policy making、Due to the purpose and the previous work arrangement。This misunderstanding also existed in the discussion of the "Border 188bet sports betting app download Management Measures (Revised Draft for Comments)" some time ago。

current，Judging the situation、Policy Interpretation、Industry Trend，Everything must be based on reality，It is not appropriate to overexaggerate the optimistic tone，Both over-optimism and over-pessimism are advisable。Misreading, misjudgment, misunderstanding，Not conducive to the resilient recovery of the 188bet sports betting app download industry，It will also directly affect the strategic decisions of 188bet sports betting app download companies。

Of course，This does not mean，The "Approval" is insignificant。The author thinks，Under the current situation，This move reveals the meaning and role of three aspects，Deserves 188bet sports betting app download attention。

First，Leverage the leading role of China’s 188bet sports betting app download zones in opening up

Shanghai、Chongqing and Chongqing are both free trade pilot zones approved by the State Council。August 17, 2013，The State Council officially approved the establishment of China (Shanghai) Free Trade Pilot Zone，The construction of China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone is a national strategy，With the previous special economic zone、Development Zone、Industrial Park Comparison，In guiding ideology、Strategic positioning、Overall goal、The connotation of reform and opening up with updated tasks and measures。The China (Chongqing) Pilot Free Trade Zone was officially approved by the State Council for its establishment on March 15, 2017，It is based on institutional innovation，The basic requirement is that it can be copied and promoted，Comprehensive implementation 188bet sports betting app download Party Central Committee、The State Council’s Notice on Playing the Important Role of Chongqing as a Strategic Pivot and Connection Point、Requirements to increase the opening up of gateway cities in the western region，Strive to build the free trade pilot zone into a ";One Belt, One Road”An important hub for interconnection with the Yangtze River Economic Belt、Important pivot 188bet sports betting app download Western Development Strategy。

April 2021，The State Council issued the "State Council on Consent in Tianjin"、Shanghai、Hainan、Approval for Chongqing to launch a comprehensive pilot program to expand the opening up of the service industry》。If you pay attention，Shanghai、Chongqing’s relevant plans are stipulated，Foreign-invested travel agencies established in the city are allowed to operate outbound 188bet sports betting app download business (except to Taiwan)。In fact，Back in 2015，The "Comprehensive Pilot Plan for the Expansion and Opening-up of Beijing's Service Industry" issued by Beijing has already stipulated，In the process of expanding the pilot program of Sino-foreign joint venture travel agencies to carry out outbound 188bet sports betting app download business，Support qualified Sino-foreign joint venture travel agencies established in Beijing to engage in outbound 188bet sports betting app download business except Taiwan。Back in 2013，The "China (Shanghai) Pilot Free Trade Zone Master Plan" issued by Shanghai has allowed qualified Sino-foreign joint venture travel agencies to be registered in the pilot zone，Engaged in outbound 188bet sports betting app download business except Taiwan。

Although no specific details of the pilot program have been seen yet，But the author thinks，Referred to in the "Reply"，Allowed in Shanghai、A foreign-invested travel agency established in Chongqing and qualified to engage in outbound 188bet sports betting app download business except Taiwan，Foreign-invested travel agencies established in free trade pilot zones should be preferred，Make full use of the pilot free trade zone’s role in opening up。

Second，Promote“14th Five-Year Plan”During the transformation and upgrading of the 188bet sports betting app download agency industry, it is developing in depth

"&ldquo issued by the State Council;14th Five-Year Plan”Proposed in the 188bet sports betting app download Development Plan，“14th Five-Year Plan”Period，Our country will fully enter the era of mass 188bet sports betting app download，188bet sports betting app download development is still in a period of important strategic opportunities，But there are new developments and changes in opportunities and challenges。

Entering a new stage of development，The 188bet sports betting app download industry faces new requirements for high-quality development。After building a moderately prosperous society in all respects，People’s 188bet sports betting app download consumption demand will transform from low-level to high-quality and diversified，Change from focusing on sightseeing to considering both sightseeing and leisure vacation。Profound changes in mass 188bet sports betting app download and consumption preferences，Accelerating integration of online and offline 188bet sports betting app download products and services。The era of mass 188bet sports betting app download，The fruits of 188bet sports betting app download development must be shared by the people，188bet sports betting app download must give full play to serving the people、Enrich the people、Benefit the people、The positive role of Lemin，Become a happiness industry with remarkable characteristics of the times。

From the perspective of macro policy orientation， “14th Five-Year Plan”During this period, we strive to promote 188bet sports betting app download agencies to ";Specialization、Featured、Innovative”Direction Development，Choose in Shanghai、Chongqing pilot project，By improving the level of opening up of the 188bet sports betting app download agency industry，It has very important practical significance in promoting the transformation and upgrading of 188bet sports betting app download agencies to become deeper and more solid。

Third，Accelerate the growth of domestic travel agency companies and participate in the competition in the international 188bet sports betting app download market

Back in 2003，The domestic travel agency market has already been opened to foreign investment，Foreign investors can set up wholly-owned enterprises in China、Holding or joint venture travel agency，But foreign-funded travel agencies can only operate domestic tours and inbound tours，Not allowed to operate outbound 188bet sports betting app download business。2010，The former National 188bet sports betting app download Administration and the Ministry of Commerce jointly issued the "Interim Measures for the Supervision of the Pilot Outbound 188bet sports betting app download Business of Sino-foreign Joint Venture Travel Agencies"。2019，The State Council has approved to support qualified Sino-foreign joint venture travel agencies established in Beijing to engage in outbound 188bet sports betting app download business except Taiwan，Whole foreign-owned travel agencies established in Beijing are allowed to pilot outbound 188bet sports betting app download services for Chinese citizens (except for Taiwan)。

This time，Shanghai approved by the State Council、Chongqing pilot project，The author thinks，There are mainly the following considerations。First, promote reform and opening up to show the image of a great country，As a responsible big country, our country，Allowed in Shanghai、A foreign-invested travel agency established in Chongqing and qualified to engage in outbound 188bet sports betting app download business except Taiwan，It helps to further demonstrate the image of my country’s reform and opening up。The second is to promote cooperation with outbound 188bet sports betting app download destination countries and regions，Promote outbound 188bet sports betting app download product upgrades，Provide categories for Chinese tourists、Price、Outbound travel products with more diverse contents，Help improve tourists’ outbound travel experience and satisfaction。The third is to promote accelerated changes in the 188bet sports betting app download industry，Absorb and learn from the management experience of foreign-invested travel agency enterprises through opening up，Promote the restructuring of domestic travel agencies、Change and Innovation，Improve the overall strength of travel agency enterprises，Help promote the competitiveness of the travel agency industry in the international 188bet sports betting app download market。
