The reporter learned from the press conference of the "2015 China Forest Tourism Festival" held by the State Forestry Administration on August 26 that in 2014, the comprehensive social output value created by the national forest tourism reached 650 billion yuan, exceeding 20% of the domestic tourism income for the first time. Forest tourism has become an important green rich peasant industry.

"Forest tourism is closely related to the development of agriculture, rural areas and farmers." Yang Chao, director of the State Forestry Administration State-owned Forest Farm and Forest Seedling work Station, said, "among the 832 poor counties in the country, 432 poor counties have forest parks at all levels, accounting for 52% of the total number of poor counties. The development of forest tourism in these areas has enabled local farmers to achieve the transformation from cutting down trees to looking at trees, from selling hilltops to selling ecology, and from selling timber to selling landscapes. Farmers can find suitable jobs and sources of income without leaving their hometown or soil, and their living conditions and living environment have improved significantly. "

According to statistics, there are more than 8500 forest tourist destinations of all kinds and at all levels in the country. Among the forest tourist destinations distributed in poor counties, national forest parks alone account for one third of the national forest parks. Many once unvisited "backcountry" have now become famous tourist attractions, such as Zhangjiajie in Hunan, Jiuzhaigou in Sichuan and Taibai Mountain in Shaanxi.

"there is still a lot of room for the development of forest tourism in China." Yang Chao said. In order to build a better platform for the development of forest tourism, the 2015 China Forest Tourism Festival will be held in Wuhan, Hubei Province in October this year. At that time, the achievements of national forest tourism development and national ecological leisure products will be displayed at the meeting.
