Red tourism

May 20, 2023

Red tourism (Chinese: 红色旅游; pinyin: Hóngsè lǚyóu)[1] is a subset of domestic and international tourism in current or former 'red' countries such as China and Russia in which people visit locations with historical significance to their "red" past.

Tourists in Yan'an can rent and dress in Chinese Red Army garb

In China, Chinese people visit locations with historical significance to Chinese Communism "to rekindle their long-lost sense of class struggle and proletarian principles."[2]

The Government began actively supporting red tourism in 2005[3] to promote the "national ethos" and socioeconomic development in those areas,[4] which are typically rural and poorer than East China. The “General Plan for the Development of Red Tourism in 2004-2010” (2004－2010年全国红色旅游发展规划纲要) was issued by the General Office of the Chinese Communist Party and the General Office of the State Council, it established the first batch of 100 so-called "red tourism classic scenic spots (红色旅游经典景区)". In July 2010, officials representing 13 Chinese cities signed a "China Red Tourism Cities Strategic Cooperation Yan'an Declaration" to develop red tourism; the cities are: Guang'an, Yan'an, Xiangtan, Jinggangshan, Ruijin, Zunyi, Baise, Shijiazhuang, Linyi, Anyang, Yulin, Qingyang, and Huining.[citation needed]

In the Communist Party's view, red tourism strengthens revolutionary traditions, enhances patriotism, and promotes a unique national spirit.[5]: 64  A Chinese official said, "This is a major project that benefits both the Party, the nation and the people, either in the economic, cultural and the political sense."[6]

Locations

The number of red tourism sites has continuously grown since its inception in 2005. Several plans for developing red tourism were implemented in all provinces of the PRC, as highlighted in the project Topography of Red Memories in Modern China.

Other significant sites for red tourism in China include Dazhai village in Shanxi province which was promoted for its model agricultural work in the Mao-era learn from Dazhai campaign.[5]: 174  Dazhai hosts the Chinese Dream Red-Theme museum.[5]: 174 

Events

The China Red Tourism and Cultural Festival is held annually in Hunan. The 2010 Festival took place in July and took advantage of high-speed rail in China.

During the 100th Anniversary of the Chinese Communist Party, the Shanghai local government promoted visits to the sites of the Party's First National Congress, Second National Congress, and Fourth National Congress.[5]: 64 

Impact

According to academics Christopher Marquis and Kunyuan Qiao, red tourism in China has a significant impact in intergenerational transmission of Mao Zedong's political theory.[5]: 58 

Criticism

Aging original members of the Red Army criticise the "Disneyfication" of what should be solemn war memorials.[3]

Outside China

Other former Communist countries can have red tourism, such as the Czech Republic, previously part of Czechoslovakia and ruled by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia.[14] Recently, Russian researchers started to focus on the studying of the trend of Russian-Chinese tourism’ development.[15]
