With the explosive growth of tourism during the golden week in October, Shaanxi witnessed new highs in tourism revenue and number of tourists. The annual operating income is expected to exceed 200 billion yuan.

According to statistics, during the National Day holiday, Shaanxi province received a total of 28,503,500 tourists from home and abroad, an increase of 30.7 percent year on year. The total tourism revenue hit 13.6 billion yuan, an increase of 36.4 percent compared to the same period of last year. These two indicators are much higher than the national average. The growths which exceeded 30 percent show strong competitiveness of Shaanxi tourism.

The "explosive growth" of tourism in Shaanxi is closely linked to the abundant local tourism resources and infrastructures. Shaanxi Provincial Tourism Bureau adopted a series of measures to expand the tourism market, which also made significant contribution to the growth.
