Key villages for rural tourism in East China's Jiangsu province received 4.45 million tourists in August, up 14 percent from the previous month, the provincial department of culture and tourism said Thursday.

The province earned a total revenue of 33.55 billion yuan (about $4.9 billion) from rural tourism in the first half of this year, which has recovered to more than 60 percent of the same period last year.

In order to boost culture and tourism consumption, especially in the upcoming National Day holiday, Jiangsu will hold a rural tourism festival from Sept 26 till the end of October, featuring a series of activities and products, as well as 50 travel routes.
