在中国共产党中央委员会的经济工作会议中，中国的旅游业被定为国民经济的新增长点。这不仅提高了旅游业在经济和社会发展中的地位，同时也为旅游业在下个世纪的发展铺平了道路。

通过检查，评选出了54个旅游城市，这样的评选不仅改善了城市旅游环境，也加快了城市旅游业国际化和现代化的进程。

尽管国际市场的环境并不好，但是我国的旅游业仍然保持持续的增长，海外游客的稳定增长促进了国旅游业的发展。

1998年，旅游业的总收入为3430亿元人民币，比去年增长了10.2%，为实现国民经济预定的增长目标做出了巨大的贡献。

征得国务院的同意，我们引进了关于试建中外合资旅游机构的暂行办法，由于这一办法的颁布，形成了进一步扩大旅游业对外开放的新构架。这一办法会帮助我们打开吸引游客，从海外旅游业中引进先进的管理经验的渠道，这同样也会给国的旅游业市场带来新的竞争。

Not long ago, the secretary general of the world tourism organization said, “ the Asia financial crisis has slowed down the development of world tourism, but the Chinese tourism industry has maintained a high growth speed” He predicted that by 2020, china will become the largest tourism country in the world.

世界旅游组织秘书长日前认定，金融危机使世界旅游业放慢了增长速度，而中国旅游业却继续保持着强劲增长势头，他预测到2020年，中国将有望成为世界第一旅游大国。

The secretary general was attending the 98 China International Tourism Fair, held in Shanghai. At the fair, he quoted a survey report as saying: Due to the financial crisis in Asia, the number of tourists coming and going between the Asian countries has dropped by a large margin since summer 1997. The growth speed of world tourism decreased from 5.5 percent in 1996 to 3.8 percent in 1997.

秘书长出席了98中国国际旅游交易会，他援引世界旅游组织一份分析报告说，由于金融危机的影响，亚洲各国之间出入境旅游人数从1997年夏季开始大幅度减少，世界旅游业的增长速度因此由1996年的5.5%下降到去年的3.8%.

From January to August 1998, the number of tourists entering China totaled 41.3284 million people/times, or an increase of 12.22 percent over the figure for the corresponding period of last year. Foreign exchange earnings generated by tourism reached 8.198 billion US dollars, or an increase of 5.55 percent over those of the corresponding period of last year. The number of overseas tourists coming to China has kept growing, except from the other Asian countries, the number of whose tourists has shown a slight reduction.

1998年1至8月，我国旅游入境人数达4132.84万人次，比1997年同期增长12.22%。旅游外汇收入达81.98亿美元，比1997年同期增长5.55%。国际客源市场中，除亚洲市场有所下降外，其它各市场均有增长。

The secretary general pointed out that china’s tourism industry has shown a rising trend during the Asian financial crisis, and the Chinese people should be proud of this, he said. In 1990, the number of foreign tourists entering china ranked 12th in the world, and in 1997, the sixth; and its foreign exchange earnings generated from tourism ranked 25th in the world in 1990, and eighth in 1997. The constant depening of china’s reform and opening to the outside world has greatly promoted the development of china’s tourism. It is predicted that by 2020, the number of tourist worldwide will be about 1.6 billion, of whom 137 million will come to China.

秘书长指出，中国旅游业在亚洲金融危机中仍出现上升势头，是值得自豪的。 1997年中国的旅游入境人数在世界上的排名由1990的第12位上升到第6位，旅游外汇收入则从第25位升至第8位。他认为，中国改革开放的不断深入使旅游业随之得到了强劲发展，预计到
