　　 Since this year, Qingdao has given full play to its regional advantages to vigorously implement the "Cruise Tourism Breakthrough Plan", which provides policy environment, route opening, talent introduction, tourist source expansion and other guarantees and support for the development of cruise tourism. While cruise voyages are gradually intensive and the number of tourists is gradually rising, it also radiates and drives the sustainable development of related industries.
