“萬盛的變化讓我欣喜,城市更整潔了,景區(qū)更漂亮了,體育運動和賽事組織的水平也越來越高了……”
日前,在“重慶萬盛龍鱗石海杯”2015年全國無線電測向錦標(biāo)賽比賽現(xiàn)場,國家體育總局航空無線電模型運動管理中心副主任陳建軍這樣評價了今天的萬盛。
陳建軍是萬盛的老朋友。2011年第十八屆全國定向錦標(biāo)賽、第七屆全國定向冠軍賽以及2012年世界定向排位賽系列賽期間,陳建軍兩度蒞臨萬盛,親身感受了萬盛的城市環(huán)境、旅游風(fēng)貌、比賽場地和賽事組織等情況。
今年,全國無線電測向錦標(biāo)賽在次在萬盛舉辦,全國300余名高手同臺競技,陳建軍再次光臨萬盛。他無不感慨地說,萬盛現(xiàn)在正在大力實施全民健身戰(zhàn)略,定向測向運動具備的特性,與“全民健身”這個關(guān)鍵詞特別契合,同時定向測向運動更多是在野外舉行,這與萬盛旅游城市的內(nèi)涵打造不謀而合。
走體育與旅游結(jié)合之路,將運動健康植入旅游,促進體旅融合發(fā)展,著力打造運動休閑之城,構(gòu)建全民健身事業(yè)與旅游產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展的雙贏格局,是萬盛經(jīng)開區(qū)近年來明確提出的“體旅融合”發(fā)展的重大戰(zhàn)略。
那么,萬盛為什么要大力推進體旅融合?體育融合有什么意義?如何對其謀篇布局?又要實現(xiàn)什么樣的目標(biāo)呢?
黨的十八大提出了“兩個一百年”的奮斗目標(biāo)。據(jù)測算,到2020年我國人均GDP將達到1.2-1.5萬美元,跨入中等收入國家行列,中國消費需求結(jié)構(gòu)將從生存型消費向發(fā)展型消費升級,從物質(zhì)消費向服務(wù)消費升級,旅游業(yè)發(fā)展進入新常態(tài),大眾對旅游的消費理念和模式正在加快轉(zhuǎn)變。
萬盛是重慶市的一個老工礦區(qū),也是全國100個產(chǎn)煤大縣之一,屬于典型的資源型城市。面對資源枯竭,萬盛未來如何轉(zhuǎn)型?如何在消費結(jié)構(gòu)升級過程中,并結(jié)合自己的特點創(chuàng)新型發(fā)展?這是他們思考的重點問題。
“當(dāng)前,我們實施全民健身戰(zhàn)略,將全民健身作為旅游‘三次創(chuàng)業(yè)’的重要內(nèi)容,將運動健康作為萬盛旅游的特質(zhì),通過體育與旅游全面融合,大力發(fā)展體育旅游,正是新常態(tài)下適應(yīng)旅游業(yè)發(fā)展趨勢的重要舉措?!比f盛經(jīng)開區(qū)有關(guān)負責(zé)人說,由此萬盛將一舉搶占體育旅游的新興市場,促使萬盛旅游繼續(xù)領(lǐng)跑全市旅游發(fā)展。
萬盛旅游資源獨特,擁有黑山谷國家AAAAA級旅游景區(qū),是“中國優(yōu)秀旅游城區(qū)”、重慶市唯一的“旅游經(jīng)濟試驗區(qū)”、“中國羽毛球之鄉(xiāng)”、“中國定向運動訓(xùn)練基地”和“國家資源轉(zhuǎn)型試點城市”,已成為重慶“山水都市”最具影響力的生態(tài)旅游精品、長江三峽旅游帶外環(huán)的重要節(jié)點和重慶周邊旅游的熱點地區(qū)之一。然而,目前萬盛旅游產(chǎn)品結(jié)構(gòu)單一、淡旺季明顯、消費業(yè)態(tài)奇缺。這既不能充分滿足人民群眾日益增長的旅游需求,也制約了萬盛旅游業(yè)的轉(zhuǎn)型升級、提質(zhì)增效。為此,萬盛確定,當(dāng)前和今后一個時期,要把傳統(tǒng)旅游產(chǎn)品升級和豐富旅游新產(chǎn)品新業(yè)態(tài)擺在突出位置,推動旅游產(chǎn)品結(jié)構(gòu)由觀光為主,向生態(tài)旅游、體育旅游全面發(fā)展。
為此,實施全民健身戰(zhàn)略將充分發(fā)揮萬盛體育與旅游先天優(yōu)勢,致使旅游與一二三產(chǎn)業(yè)融合發(fā)展,與生態(tài)文明、城鎮(zhèn)化、信息化、農(nóng)業(yè)現(xiàn)代化緊密結(jié)合,與文化、科技、醫(yī)療、商貿(mào)領(lǐng)域深度融合,不斷催生體育競技旅游、體育健身旅游、體育賽事旅游、體育文化旅游、體育科技旅游、體育醫(yī)療健康旅游等新業(yè)態(tài),延長游客停留時間,拉動來區(qū)游客人均消費水平跨越式增長(預(yù)計從現(xiàn)階段500元/人,躍升到1000元/人),形成從量到質(zhì)的變化。由此推動萬盛旅游產(chǎn)業(yè)與優(yōu)勢資本相結(jié)合,拓展旅游產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈、拉長產(chǎn)業(yè)鏈,激勵萬眾創(chuàng)業(yè),共享旅游發(fā)展機遇,共同做大旅游產(chǎn)業(yè),實現(xiàn)旅游經(jīng)濟極速增長。

右:黑山谷熙熙攘攘的旅游人群
一直以來,萬盛經(jīng)開區(qū)都非常注重全民健身運動,為該區(qū)體育旅游融合發(fā)展作了有益的探索和嘗試。據(jù)區(qū)旅游局局長梁正和介紹,他們曾成功舉辦過2011年全國定向錦標(biāo)賽、2012年全國定向冠軍賽,吸引了世界和全國最優(yōu)秀的定向運動選手參賽,同時萬盛也成為了中國首個定向運動訓(xùn)練活動基地。同時,他們曾多次冠名國家、市級羽毛球賽事活動,通過在賽場上的曝光率,提升并展示萬盛旅游品牌形象。比如,舉辦了“體驗萬盛羽球文化、暢游最美養(yǎng)生峽谷”中國運動養(yǎng)生旅游專線黑山谷百車自駕體驗活動,開辟康體健身旅游線路;舉辦了“全市大學(xué)生徒步穿越黑山谷戶外競技大賽”、“氧出健康美”黑山谷·新女報2015重慶小姐大賽等系列體育與旅游結(jié)合的活動,進一步弘揚運動之美、健康之旅。
近年來,萬盛旅游業(yè)也獲得了快速發(fā)展。2013年,萬盛接待游客數(shù)達712萬人次,旅游綜合收入為35.6億元。2014年,全區(qū)接待游客數(shù)為770.3萬人次,同比增長8%,實現(xiàn)旅游綜合收入38.5億元,同比增長8.1%。
那么,在新的歷史階段,萬盛區(qū)對體旅融合發(fā)展如何謀篇布局呢?
據(jù)介紹,按照實施全民健身戰(zhàn)略意見要求,該區(qū)將從三個方面加快推進體旅深度融合:
一是打造運動健康景區(qū)景點。以黑山谷、龍鱗石海景區(qū)為重點,打造戶外運動、定向測向運動基地。完善旅游度假區(qū)健身設(shè)施,為游客提供旅游健身服務(wù)。
二是開發(fā)運動健康線路產(chǎn)品。策劃包裝以羽毛球、定向運動、戶外健身等為主題的旅游線路,鼓勵旅行社開發(fā)團隊線路產(chǎn)品,參觀運動健康景點,體驗體育健身活動。支持運動健康俱樂部、社團組織開展體育旅游主題活動。
三是策劃體育旅游宣傳營銷活動。將“健康之旅”作為旅游宣傳營銷主題,充分利用各類媒體,大力度、全方位、深層次廣泛宣傳。策劃組織體育與旅游的賽事活動,重點打造黑山谷全國羽毛球挑戰(zhàn)賽,增強旅游影響力,提升地區(qū)知名度。
方向已經(jīng)明確,目標(biāo)已經(jīng)確定,那么眼下如何做呢?
“當(dāng)前,我們正在積極策劃和籌備一系列體旅融合賽事活動?!绷赫驼劦搅搜巯滤麄円龅囊恍┚唧w事宜。
一是推出健步走系列活動。在黑山谷景區(qū)開展“走出健康美、氧在黑山谷”——有氧健步走運動體驗游活動,通過具體的運動指標(biāo)參數(shù),讓游客直觀感受到健步走運動給身體帶來的各種益處。邀請“重慶走走族”、萬盛戶外運動協(xié)會等,到景區(qū)實地體驗健步走運動。結(jié)合金科、天籟谷等旅游地產(chǎn)企業(yè)組織的大型銷售活動,開展萬人黑山谷健步走活動。
二是開展定向體驗系列活動。啟動“重返6億年,定向古石林”—定向運動體驗游活動,在龍鱗石海景區(qū)內(nèi)安裝定向運動體驗設(shè)備,讓廣大市民游客親身體驗定向運動的樂趣。邀請南岸區(qū)珊瑚小學(xué)定向運動隊與萬盛小學(xué)定向運動隊在龍鱗石海景區(qū)進行定向運動友誼賽,共同切磋技藝、交流感受。在第四屆中國西部旅游產(chǎn)業(yè)博覽會萬盛展廳中設(shè)置定向運動體驗游項目,游客可在專業(yè)教練指導(dǎo)下,帶上指卡,現(xiàn)場參與定向運動旅游。
三是舉辦中國·重慶萬盛黑山谷杯羽毛球挑戰(zhàn)賽。該賽事于2015年7月4日-2016年1月3日舉行,主要面向業(yè)余羽毛球運動員,比賽分為周賽和總決賽,其中周賽將舉辦24場,每場將決出前3名,分別獲得1萬元、8000元、5000元獎勵;最終24名周冠軍將角逐最后的總冠軍,總冠軍將獲得20萬元巨額獎勵,亞軍至第六名將分別獲得10萬元、8萬元、4萬元、3萬元和2萬元的獎勵。賽事期間還將舉行子如廣場“千人揮拍”、羽球高峰論壇、媒體記者羽球邀請賽、公益捐助等活動。
同時,他們還將以羽毛球運動、戶外運動、定向測向運動為特色打造提升全民健身中心(羽毛球公園、羽毛球廣場)、黑山谷景區(qū)、龍鱗石海景區(qū)、青山湖、板遼湖、魚子崗等體育旅游景區(qū)景點;開發(fā)以羽毛球、定向運動、戶外健身等為主題的參觀體育旅游景點、體驗運動健身活動的體育旅游線路;將“運動之旅”作為旅游宣傳營銷主題,重點打造中國(重慶)萬盛羽毛球旅游文化節(jié)、重慶萬盛黑山谷羽毛球公開賽,開展體育旅游宣傳營銷活動。
這些,都將極大豐富萬盛旅游內(nèi)涵,切實增強萬盛旅游的知名度和影響力,形成萬盛旅游的特質(zhì)和賣點,有力提升萬盛旅游核心競爭力。

Tourism, a distinctive characteristic of Wansheng, is the strategic target in its transitional development. Since the establishment of Wansheng Economic and Technology Development Zone, the Party Working Committee and Administrative Committee of Wansheng District have selected tourism development as the direction of urban transformation, encouraging a third startup in tourism business. And their goal is to develop Black Mountain Valley into a state-level tourist resort by 2017 and to build Wansheng into a nationwide renowned tourism city by the year of 2020 with all efforts.

A wellness-based tourist resort in the suburb
In January of 2014, 10 tourist resorts including Chongqing Black Mountain Valley were conferred the First Batch o Municipal-level (Provincial-level) Tourist Resort after the deliberation of the leading group of Chongqing Tourism and Economy Development on its fi rst plenary session. It was then that Wansheng Black Mountain Valley Tourist Resort wasoffi cially listed in the batch.
As one of the most inviting tourist cities of China, Chongqing will be attaching greater importance to the development of tourist resorts in its future tourism promotion so as to meet the comprehensive leisure demand of tourists such as relaxation, health care, sports, puzzle game, and recreation. And as a favorable tourist city in China and Chongqing’s pilot area of tourism economy, Wansheng will usher in its times of driving tourism development in all respects after the Black Valley Resort’s successful promotion as one of the “5A-level National Tourist Attractions”.
Located in the territory of Heishan Black Mountain Town and back to the 5A-level Black Valley tourist attraction, National Forest Park, and National Geological Park, Black Mountain Valley Tourist Resort covers an area of about 28 square kilometers.

The 10 quality tourism projects include an all-season indoor skiing resort, a wind tunnel for space entertainment, a club for low-aptitude flight sightseeing, a leisure park for outdoor mountain sports, Bajiao health care and holiday town, Dapingtu Medical Rehabilitation Center, Chinese Medicine Health World, Black Mountain Yelangli, Baoding Temple Monastery, and Black Valley Great Cultural Theater.
The 28 supporting tourism projects include 1 comprehensive service center, that is, the Bajiao Tourism Service Center; 2 commercial theme streets, which are, the Bajiao Leisure and Cultural Street and Tianlai Gourmet Street; 15 ecological experience projects that involve a long landscape corridor, Banshan Agricultural Tourist Park, Tianlai Karst Cave Science Fiction World, and the Forest Kingdom Adventure World; and 10 regimen vocation theme hotels which consist of Tianlai Valley Thermal Spring Spa Hotel, Black Mountain Forest Holiday Hotel, Kucaotang Chinese Medical Regimen Hotel and so on. The batch of supporting tourism real estates covers Jinke Chinese Regimen Town and Chongbao Cultural village.
As Zhu Chuan puts it, a tourism product system themed on ecological, medical, sports, food, cultural and entertainment regiment will thus take shape after the completion of the abovementioned projects, which on the other hand contributes to the building of a unique regimen industrial chain of the Black Mountain Valley and the creation of wellness tourism in mountainous area with Chinese characteristics.
In the future, as the state-level tourist resort, Black Mountain Valley will become a bright and brilliant pearl of Chongqing, it is worth expectation.
Seven major advantages boost the development of the resort
In the building of the state-level tourist resort, Wansheng enjoys 7 major natural advantages:
Convenient transportation: tourists may arrive at the resort within 1 hour. Since Wansheng is only 70 kilometers away from the main city of Chongqing, it is very convenient to reach Wansheng by Chongqing-Hunan Expressway and Chongqing-Guizhou Expressway with 1 hour. Besides, there are 5 standard tourist highways that direct to the real estates from Wansheng District and ring roads that connect to all the scenic spots, which will offer great convenience to the tourists.

With a forest coverage rate as high as 97%, the resort has a number of negative oxygen ions in the fresh air as large as 0.11 million per cubic centimeter. It is surely the fi rst choice for Chongqing citizens who want to spend a holiday at a summer resort.
Huge investment and complete facilities: With an investment of nearly 2.6 billion yuan, the resort has formed and equipped with water, power, gas, road, communication commercial, fireproof, and medical care infrastructures and supporting facilities in such core areas as Heishan, Bajiao Jiangliuba, Aotaoji, providing the tourist with considerate services in all respects,.

"I am so happy to see Wansheng’s recent changes: it now becomes a cleaner and more attractive city; there are more and more beautiful scenic spots, as well as more and more integrated sport events and organizations..."
Recently, at “Chongqing Wansheng Dragon Scale Stone Sea Cup" national radio directionfinding championship competition 2015, the general administration of sport aviation radio model, deputy director Chen Jianjun said a lot about Wansheng.
Chen is an old friend of Wansheng. When Wansheng was the host city for the 18th national directional championships in 2011, the 7th national directional championship and the 2012 world orientation qualifying series, Chen came to Wansheng for two times. To Chen, Wansheng seems to be a city for tourism and championship.
In the year of 2015, the national radio direction-fi nding championship was again hold in Wansheng. There were more than 300 experts coming to compete in events. Chen said he was very happy to see that Wansheng is now becoming as a city in which people are vigorous about to the national fi tness. The characteristics of directional movement direction are actually in accordance with the keywords "national fi tness".
The development of the combination of sports and tourism perfectly demonstrates the mutual benefits of sports and tourism, further promotes the integration of city lifestyle. It is also considered as a major force to drive theeconomic development of the city, and strategically create a win-win situation.
So why did wansheng vigorously make efforts to develop simultaneously sports and tourism? What's the meaning of the combination? What will be the strategic thinking for the entire layout? What achievement do we expect?
National Fitness: The Major Force to Booming Tourism of Wansheng
In accordance with the goals of two 100-year., it is optimistic to anticipate that by 2020 China's per capita GDP will reach $15,000 - $12,000, stepping into the ranks of middle-income countries. China's consumption demand structure is going to upgrade from the necessity to development-oriented consumption, from the material to service consumption. City tourism development is expected stepping into the new normal, and public consumption concept and model are in transit.
Wansheng is one of the Chongqing most traditional industrial and mining areas, also is one of the country's 100 coal counties. The city is well-known as a typical colliery resources city. Coming up to the confrontation of the exhaustion of the natural resources, we need to take a serious consideration about the city’s future transformation.
