Shandong Provincial Tourism Planning and Design Institute have proposed a plan for Shandong Self-Drive Tours, and it has been approved and will be implemented soon.

It is the first self-drive tour master plan in Chinese province. And this plan will be fully implemented over the period from 2010 to 2020.

Based on this plan, Shandong will set up over 180 auto camps to international standards, covering all 17 cities in the province. 80% of these camps will be built near scenic spots and tourist resorts and the other 20% will be located at destinations on freeways or in areas with beautiful scenery and will offer services including fuel, lodging, auto repair, and tourist information.

At present, Shandong doesn’t have any auto camps met international standards. Shandong Tourism Administration will issue other relevant documents to regulate self-drive tours in the province.
