Expanding and deepening tourism cooperation between the Belt and Road Initiative(BRI)countries and regions is an important part of the joint construction of the BRI,which has important strategic significance for promoting global economic growth and humanistic exchanges.After four stages of development,including the establishment of pillars and beams,fluctuating development,epidemic control and market recovery,tourism cooperation along the BRI has achieved great progress in infrastructure"hard connectivity",rules and standards"soft connectivity",as well as people-to-people"heart connectivity".At the same time,the scale of BRI tourism market has significantly expanded,industrial investment has continued to grow,unified brands have gradually formed,security has gradually strengthened,and cooperation platforms have been enriched.In the future,BRI tourism cooperation will not only encounter new opportunities for deepening transportation connectivity,digital economy and green development,but also face challenges such as complicated external environment,unbalanced regional development and weak global soft connectivity.We should have the vision of building BRI tourism community of shared destiny which has interconnected facilities,linked standards,and integrated cultures,as well as a high level of openness,industrial resilience and security.In order to realize the vision,we should continue to build a seamless three-dimensional tourism transportation network,accelerate the construction of smooth linkage and docking mechanism for tourism policies,continue to expand the platform for civil exchanges,promote the construction of a new pattern of all-round opening-up,explore the construction of a multi-level tourism resilience system,and work together to guarantee the multi-dimensional prevention and control of security issues.
