The parties have signed a joint manifesto for building the alliance, promising that they will protect red tourism resources so as to maintain sustainable development. Red tourism refers to travel spots and scenic routes that tell the story of China's growth and glorious Communist history.
Jinan-Jining-Zaozhuang-Linyi-Liangyungang, Nanjing-Zhenjiang-Jurong-Changshu, Taizhou-Yancheng-Huaian-Xuzhou, Huangshan-Jixi-Jingde-Jingxian-Xuancheng-Wuhu will be the four boutique routes that the three provinces will focus on.
The cooperation is believed to be a good way to integrate the tourism resources of Shandong, Jiangsu and Anhui, and to promote the development of their tourism sector.
