To further boost the integrated development of culture, tourism and sports in Jingpohu and fully tap into the scenic area’s natural ecology, volcanic geology, history and cultural advantages, the Jingpohu Administration Committee focuses on Four Priorities to solidly advance the development of study tour tourism.

First, strengthen overall coordination by a dedicated team. A special working group for cultural and tourism integration has been set up to oversee all work related to study tours. Nine themed exhibition halls for study tours have been built to high standards, and 23 distinctive study courses have been developed. Among them, 10 high-quality courses have been submitted to education authorities for official recognition, consolidating the foundational strength of the study tour industry.

Second, strengthen inter-departmental collaboration. Active efforts have been made to seek guidance and support from higher-level authorities. The Municipal Association for Science and Technology allocated a special fund of 140,000 yuan to upgrade supporting facilities for study tours. On April 29, the Jingpohu Practical Education Camp for Primary and Secondary School Students was officially approved by the Municipal Bureau of Education, laying a solid regulatory foundation for study tour activities.

Third, strengthen service guarantees. A high-quality volunteer team for study tour services has been established. Regular professional training for commentators and emergency drills for work safety are carried out to comprehensively improve service quality and safety management capabilities.

Fourth, strengthen multi-party cooperation. A five-in-one cooperation model integrating government, enterprises, universities, research institutions and end users has been established. Partnerships have been forged with 8 universities. Cooperation with travel agencies and study tour organizations has expanded the customer market. Meanwhile, layout construction of the Integrity Culture Museum is being advanced, and the scale of the Jingpohu Museum Cluster is being expanded.

Centering on the core positioning of "Leveraging resources, focusing on education and pursuing integrated development", we follow three major themes for study tours and uphold the education philosophy of "learning while traveling and traveling while learning".

Firstly, create distinctive IP brands. Relying on the advantages of Jingpohu Global Geopark, National Natural Science Popularization Base and the country’s first teaching and practice base for lunar-like underground spaces, we combine popular science knowledge of volcanic geology and ecological protection with cultural resources including the Bohai Kingdom history, Ningguta culture and fishing-hunting folk customs. This enables participants to directly understand geological evolution and wetland ecological protection, complementing classroom teaching.

Secondly, prioritize immersive experience. Currently, the scenic area is receiving two study groups: 47 members from Harbin Rainbow Island Creative Art School and 71 participants from the Primorsky Krai Art Study Group of the China-Russia Education Year. Through immersive experiences and team activities, we cultivate participants’ observation skills, spirit of exploration, innovative thinking and sense of responsibility, promoting the all-round development of teenagers and meeting the learning demands of diverse groups.

Thirdly, deepen integrated development of "cultural tourism +". Taking study tours as a link, we fully integrate high-quality resources across the scenic area and improve the integrated model of "cultural tourism + scientific research + education". We strive to build a renowned study tour brand, drive industrial upgrading of the scenic area, and fuel local economic and social development as well as cultural inheritance.

Going forward, the Jingpohu Administration Committee will build on existing achievements, cultivate featured study tour formats, enhance brand building and expand the market footprint. We will continuously sharpen the competitiveness of Jingpohu’s study tour brand and accelerate the development of all-for-one and all-season tourism in the region.
