The promotion of China's sports tourism is aimed at establishing a regional benchmark for sports tourism projects, including venues, routes, and events.

The program will also help to unlock the potential of the sports tourism market, satisfy the needs of sports enthusiasts, and enhance the quality of sports tourism during the 14th Five-Year Plan period (2021-25).
