In fact, this is a dream of "enriching the people and strengthening the province", and its successful bid will definitely boost the leap-forward development of the province.
Insert wings for the construction of "two-oriented society"
If the bid for the National Games is successful, our province will not only erect a new benchmark for the rise of central China, but also insert wings for the construction of "two-oriented society" in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration, thus promoting our province to take the lead in rising in central China.
Set a new benchmark for the rise of central China
Soon-jae Lee, director of the Provincial Sports Bureau, said in an interview that our province, as a province with a high level of competitive sports in the central region, has great advantages in bidding for the 13th National Games.
Our province's sports achievements were among the best in the central region in the last four National Games, with seven Olympic champions, including Xiong Ni, Li, Gong Zhichao, Yang Xia and Long Qingquan, and four1world champions, including Tang, Li Jing and Ling Jie. The 5th National Urban Games held in Changsha in 2003 had a far-reaching impact, which accumulated rich experience in holding large-scale comprehensive games for our province and left considerable sports "heritages" such as He Long Stadium, Provincial Swimming and Diving Center and Provincial People's Stadium. At present, the three cities of Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan have international standard sports centers and competition venues, Xiangtan Olympic Sports Center is under construction, and many universities in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, such as Central South University and Hunan University, also have relatively perfect sports venues. Li Shun introduced that the existing stadiums and gymnasiums in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan can meet 70% of the venues needed to host the National Games, providing hardware guarantee for our province to bid for and host the National Games. If the bid is successful, our province only needs to build a new sports center (including a large stadium and a 10,000-person stadium) and a few venues for cycling and equestrian.
Li Shun said that the National Games has been held in turn from Beijing, Shanghai and Guangdong to Jiangsu, Shandong, Liaoning and other coastal developed provinces and cities, and now it is likely to be held in inland provinces. In the process of implementing the strategy of "Rise of Central China" in China, Hunan's active bid for the National Games will undoubtedly take the lead in breaking the previous regional pattern, which has far-reaching strategic significance for comprehensively popularizing the National Games and promoting the all-round development of competitive sports and national fitness in China.
In 2008, the total economic output of our province crossed the trillion yuan mark, and the GDP growth rate ranked among the top ten in China for the first time. In the international financial crisis, our province seized the opportunity to "overtake in corners". In the first half of this year, the province's GDP increased by 12.8%, ranking fifth in the country and leading in the central region, which laid an important economic foundation for our province to bid for and hold the 13th National Games.
If the bid is successful, Hunan will undoubtedly erect a new benchmark for the rise of Central China. Driven by the "Hunan Engine", the central region will become the new "leader" of China's economic development after the Pearl River Delta, Yangtze River Delta and Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei Economic Circle.
Create a new pole of "two-oriented society"
Economic prosperity leads to national prosperity and national prosperity leads to sports prosperity. It's just the right time to bid for the 13th National Games, when our province is trying to "overtake the curve" and build a "rich and strong province" in an all-round way.
The National Games is not only a sports event, but also a grand ceremony with great social, political, economic and cultural comprehensive effects, which has a significant pulling effect on the economic growth of the host region. According to the data provided by the Provincial Sports Bureau, the upcoming 11th National Games will become a major strategic step for Jinan's new round of development. /kloc-the urban construction of more than 0/4 billion yuan has changed the urban appearance of Jinan and created more than 300,000 jobs.
Bidding for the 13th National Games will greatly promote the construction of "two-oriented society" in Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration. The preparation and holding of the National Games will give wings to the construction of "two-oriented society".
The French economist Peru believes that the driving force of economic growth is often concentrated in some leading departments and innovative industries, which are often concentrated in the center of big cities, forming the economic development pole. If we win the right to host the National Games, our province will accelerate the promotion of the economic function of the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration, and Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan can completely become the development pole of the rise of central China.
The three concepts of "green, science and technology and humanity" in the National Games are consistent with the construction of "two-oriented society" in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, and will be given new connotations, thus promoting the optimization and upgrading of industrial structure, the improvement of ecological environment and the coordinated development of urban and rural areas in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, and making the construction of "two-oriented society" flourish.
Create Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan New City
Bidding for and organizing the National Games will speed up the construction of urban infrastructure and enhance urban functions. According to the data provided by the Provincial Sports Bureau, in the years of preparing for the 10th National Games, Nanjing invested more than 10 billion yuan in the construction of new urban areas, the protection and transformation of old cities, the improvement of urban infrastructure and the comprehensive improvement of the environment, and the level of urban modernization was advanced by10 years. Changsha invested 23.5 billion yuan in urban construction during the preparation of the five-city meeting, and the investment effect of the five-city meeting increased geometrically. Experts estimate that these five cities will accelerate the pace of urban construction in Changsha, at least 15 years in advance.
Our province's bid to host the National Games will further strengthen the infrastructure construction and environmental improvement of the Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration, accelerate the transportation network, environmental governance, ecological construction, energy sharing and information sharing of the three cities, promote the process of "financial city" of the three cities, promote the barrier-free circulation of economic resources in the region, and build a brand-new Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration.
At present, the outdoor exploration work of Changsha Metro Line 2 has all been completed, and the first phase of the project is about to start construction. In the subway construction, Guangzhou Line 1 used 12 years, Shanghai Line 16 years. Driven by the 10th National Games, Nanjing Metro Line 2 only took four and a half years. If the bid for the National Games is successful, the connection between Changsha Metro and Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan intercity rail will be accelerated, which will greatly promote the protection of urban ecological environment. The key pollution sources in Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan will be effectively controlled, the air quality will be greatly improved, and the per capita public green space will expand rapidly. The picturesque Xiangjiang River scenic belt will become the "ecological circle" of Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, and the Xiangjiang River basin will present the intoxicating beauty of the "Oriental Rhine". High-tech industry and ecological livability will become vivid footnotes of Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration.
Provoke the new fulcrum of "3+5"
Li Shun introduced that Guangdong Province introduced the concept of "sub-divisions" for the first time when it hosted the 9th National Games, Jiangsu Province set up 28 sub-divisions when it hosted the 10th National Games, and Shandong Province set up 17 sub-divisions when it hosted the 11th National Games. The establishment of the division will further radiate the pulling effect of the National Games on the urban economy.
If the host city of the National Games is regarded as the "center" and other cities in the region as the "periphery", then Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan are undoubtedly the economic development poles of other cities in our province. Taking Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan as the center, covering Yueyang, Changde, Yiyang, Loudi and Hengyang with a half-hour commuting radius of 6.5438+0, a "3+5" Pan-Changsha-Zhuzhou-Xiangtan urban agglomeration will be formed, and the economic integration development process between the central city and surrounding cities will be accelerated. The setting of the sub-venue of the National Games will further strengthen this radiation effect and become a new fulcrum for our province to incite the development of "3+5" urban agglomeration. In 2003, our province hosted the National Five-city Games. In addition to the main stadium in Changsha, there are eight sub-stadiums, including Zhuzhou, Xiangtan, Loudi and Zhangjiajie. The radiation of the city games to Hunan is provincial. The radiation effect of the National Games will be far-reaching. During the four or five years from preparation to hosting, tens of billions of investment each year, the extension of intercity trunk roads, the expansion of expressway network, the acceleration of urban construction, the expansion of stadiums and the promotion of tertiary industry will give all subregions, especially the "3+5" urban agglomeration, a new "engine" for development.
Promote Hunan sports to take off.
The National Games is an important part of China's competitive sports development strategy, which plays a decisive role in preparing for the Olympic Games, and is also a major review of China's competitive sports development level and sports talent reserve. Holding the National Games will greatly promote the all-round development of competitive sports and mass sports in our province.
Promote the rapid development of competitive sports
If the bid for the National Games is successful, it will bring great opportunities for the development of competitive sports in Hunan and help our province realize the goal of leaping from a big sports province to a strong sports province.
Li Shun, director of the Provincial Sports Bureau, said that our province will take the National Games as an opportunity to further improve the scientificity and extensiveness of sports events, and build a number of internationally competitive events such as swimming, kayaking, rowing, shooting and wrestling on the basis of traditional fine events such as weightlifting, gymnastics and badminton. At the same time, as the host, our province will set up the largest sports delegation in the history of Hunan National Games, boldly use potential young athletes, increase exchanges inside and outside the province, at home and abroad, improve the overall competitiveness, and realize the real take-off of Hunan competitive sports.
Li Shun believes that in order to develop competitive sports continuously and rapidly, our province also needs a team of high-quality coaches and referees. The high-level competitive competition in the National Games will inspire coaches in our province to keep learning and improve their professional quality and teaching level. The holding of the National Games also provides a good opportunity for referees in our province to improve their professional level.
Will leave a precious legacy for Hunan.
Bidding for and hosting the National Games will leave a valuable sports legacy for Hunan, the people of the whole province will fully participate in and share the achievements of the National Games, and the national fitness will develop in depth.
Li Shun said that the National Games will directly promote the construction, renovation and improvement of sports venues in our province. During the preparation of the Five Cities Games, our province invested nearly 2 billion yuan to build a number of new stadiums, which was nearly 10 times of the total investment of stadiums before the preparation of the Five Cities Games. With the completion of a number of modern sports facilities, the layout, quantity and quality of sports facilities in the whole province will develop by leaps and bounds, providing guarantee for community residents and students in primary and secondary schools to carry out training and fitness activities.
The bid and holding of the National Games will also attract people's extensive attention and participation, expand the influence of sports, deepen people's understanding of sports, and at the same time, influenced by the spirit of sports, gradually accept the ideas and values expressed by modern sports and become loyal sports practitioners. Li Shun said: "The National Games will set off a lasting national fitness climax in all communities in our province, even in the vast rural areas, and the sports population in the province will also rise from the current nearly 30% to more than 40%."
Greatly enriched the cultural connotation of Huxiang.
In the process of historical development, Huxiang culture has absorbed the strengths of hundreds of schools and integrated them. After being passed down and developed from generation to generation, it has gradually formed a unique cultural connotation. Hosting and hosting the National Games will greatly enrich Huxiang culture.
Li Shun said that by collecting the emblem, anthem and mascot of the National Games, issuing commemorative stamps of the National Games, organizing the torch relay and arranging large-scale cultural performances at the opening ceremony of the National Games, Hunan's cultural market will be greatly enriched and prospered, and a good image of Hunan as a cultural province will be established.
At the same time, the strong patriotic spirit of Huxiang culture is consistent with promoting and enhancing patriotic feelings in the grand ceremony of the National Games. The spirit of integration of Huxiang culture embodies the openness of Olympic culture. The noble character of Huxiang culture "perseverance" combines the pursuit of "faster, higher and stronger" in the Olympic Games. The sports spirit interpreted by the National Games will always inspire athletes to surpass themselves and their opponents, which is undoubtedly the embodiment and development of the "first" thought in Huxiang culture. Under the influence and encouragement of the National Games culture, Huxiang culture will be more energetic and its cultural connotation will also enrich the National Games culture.
Let's look to the future and make unremitting efforts to realize this Hunan people's sports dream.
Polish Hunan's new business card
Seen from the air, Xiangjiang River is like a ribbon, and Qingshan Mountain is like a green curtain. The bustling urban communities on both sides of the strait are scattered among green mountains and green waters. This is the most dense and prosperous urban agglomeration between Xiangjiang River and Changsha, Zhuzhou and Xiangtan, and it is also the most prosperous tourist center in Hunan.
In 2008, the total tourism revenue of our province was 8565438+75 million yuan, ranking 12 in the whole country. Bidding for the National Games will bring historic opportunities for the development of Hunan's tourism industry. Under its great impetus, our province will accelerate its leap to a strong tourist province.
Triggering a "blowout" of Hunan tourism
Tourism, automobile industry and petroleum industry together constitute the three pillar industries of the contemporary world economy. In 2007, the provincial party committee and government identified tourism as the pillar industry of our province. According to the data provided by the Provincial Tourism Bureau, the goal of Hunan tourism in 2009 is to break through 1000 billion yuan. From 20 10, through five years' efforts, we will strive to "double the total amount and rank among the top ten in the country" and realize the leap from a province with large tourism resources to a province with strong tourism industry.
Tourism around sports games is a new form of tourism that has emerged in recent years. It organically combines watching sports games with tourism, so that sports and tourism can promote each other and develop harmoniously. As a super-large "humanistic tourism brand", the National Games can attract more tourists than any large-scale activities in China at present. When interviewed by the Provincial Tourism Bureau, the reporter learned that the 10th National Games has played a great and far-reaching role in promoting the tourism economy in Nanjing. During the Games, the average daily passenger flow in Nanjing exceeded 300,000, and it received 3.5 million domestic and foreign tourists, with a total tourism revenue of nearly 2 billion yuan.
The successful bid for the National Games will also trigger a "blowout" of Hunan tourism, effectively promoting the continuous surge of inbound tourists in Hunan.
Enhance the image of tourism brand
During the preparation of the National Games, the host city will become the focus of the whole country, with a huge focusing effect, and become the best communication carrier for the political, economic and cultural development of the host provinces and cities, which can quickly enhance the local tourism brand image.
Hunan is rich in tourism resources, and famous scenic spots such as Zhangjiajie, Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue and Fenghuang, a fresh and beautiful ancient city, have long been famous all over the world. However, there are still many tourist resources bred in an inner room, and no one knows about her. The smell of wine is afraid of the depth of the alley. Without dissemination and promotion, even the best tourism resources can only be confined to a narrow circle and not known to everyone.
Bidding for the National Games will provide a golden opportunity for Hunan tourism to enhance its brand image. The concept of "green, science and technology, humanity" in the National Games will give Hunan tourism brand image richer connotations and make Hunan tourism brand more deeply rooted in people's hearts.
