THE country's first and largest rocket and satellite launch base, Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, aims to boost tourism during the next five years, an official with the local tourism bureau said yesterday.
Jiuquan City in Gansu Province plans to boost tourism by building major tourist attractions emphasizing regional culture, aerospace technology and wind power, according to the city's five-year tourism development plan for 2011 to 2015.
The Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center, established in 1958, just 210 kilometers from downtown Jiuquan, is the nation's only manned spacecraft launch center since Shenzhou-V blasted off in October 2003.
A space-themed cultural town and more interactive aerospace programs and facilities will be constructed to attract vacationers.
