Chinese Vice-Premier Qian Qichen called for greater efforts to develop the country's tourism industry at a national work conference on tourism held from January 8 to 10 in this capital city of east China's Zhejiang province.

Qian said the number of tourists coming to China and tourism incomes increased by 10 percent in 2002 on a year-on-year basis. It is widely accepted that China is one of the safest tourism destinations worldwide, he said.

The tourism industry has played an important role in promoting international cultural exchanges, Qian said.

He urged tourism departments at various levels to better prepare for uncertain factors that might hinder operations in 2003and to further regulate the industry.

Qian said a well-developed tourism industry should play a more important role in the nation's bid to build a well-off society in an all-round way.
