The government and tourism administration of Yuncheng and Linfen in Shanxi, Xian and Weinana in Shaanxi, and Zhengzhou, Kaifeng, Luoyang and Sanmenxia in Henan have signed a declaration to announce the establishment of the "Yellow River Tour" Tourism Alliance.

Annual meeting system will be set up to conduct thematic studies on marketing industrial management, and regional tourism cooperation.

In order to build the Yellow River Tour brand, the eight cities will integrate their tourism resources, coordinate regional tourism product development and improve the market competitiveness of tourism products. They will associate with their quality tourism resources together to promote "historical and cultural tours" and "ecological tours" to the domestic and foreign markets.

In establishing a regional tourism information database, the alliance will attract investment through the Internet and large-scale events, providing authoritative information to investors developing regional tourism projects. In addition, the alliance encourages member cities to launch mutual visit tourism programs, including incentive travel, wellness tours, study tours, and leisure travel.

Besides, the Yellow River Tour ticket issued by the eight cities will offer convenience and preferential treatment to holders.
