Tourism is one of the important areas of exchanges and cooperation under the Belt and Road Initiative. Since China put forward the Belt and Road Initiative in 2013, there have been close tourism exchanges and notable cooperation results among co-developing countries. With the accelerated recovery of China's outbound tourism market this year, the heat of the "Belt and Road" co-construction countries in China's outbound tourism market continues to rise, and the recent search heat has increased more than 20 times from the previous month. Among the top 30 destinations for outbound tourism, countries jointly built by the Belt and Road Initiative account for more than 70%.
