More than 80 percent of Chinese tourists do not visit scenic spots when they go on vacation, according to Li.
"More tourists are now interested in visiting villages with well-protected natural landscapes, and they want to stay in local residents' cottages or apartments," he said. "So we need to build tourism destinations as a whole, not just focus on managing scenic spots. We need to reform tourism management."
