In recent years, red tourism（旅游业）has developed quickly and is expected to become more and more popular as the nation celebrates the 100th anniversary（周年纪念日）of the Communist Party of China（CPC）（中国共产党）. And people's hopes of learning and experiencing revolutionary（革命的）history and culture have become stronger.
From 2004 to 2019, national red tourism resources（资源）continued to increase and tourists visited an increasing number of revolutionary cultural relics（文物）. The number of such trips made by people increased from 140 million to 1. 4 billion（十亿）over the same period and more and more people go to these red tourism areas, such as Yan'an in Shanxi Province.
In Pingshan, Hebei Province, where Xibaipo is located（位于）, people have depended on red tourism to develop farmhouses, gardens and tourist shops. This has helped to provide jobs for more than 80,000 local people.
Red tourism has not only met people's travel needs but also their strong wishes for knowledge on revolutionary traditions. This has led to the economic（经济上的）development of old revolutionary areas. As the 100th anniversary of the CPC is coming, the Ministry（部）of Culture and Tourism will further develop red tourism and provide people with better products and services based on Party history education. Protection of revolutionary relics will also become stronger.
