Redefining tourism; A Modern, Respectful, Tourist Industry for Xsampa.

Tourism in Xsampa has been unique to say the least. Xsampa contains great environmental beauties, and as such, the tourist industry focuses on that instead of cultural tourism. But it's always been neglected. Most often, tourists come for the mountain ranges or the Memorial to the Victims of Nuclear War and then go home. However, that will be changed. The tourist industry will be modernized so that tourists have a reason to see Xsampa as more than mountains and nuclear grieving. As such, the first step by the Sub-Committee of Tourism is modernizing entry requirements. So what does that exactly mean? New tourists landing in Xsampa will be required to attend the mandatory Tourist Orientation Program. The TOP will go over necessary customs, basic phrases, and etiquette. Etiquette such as, not flaunting wealth and addressing everyone as Comrade, instead of western honorifics. Upon completion, they will be given a guidebook in the event they forget anything about it. The last thing we want are capitalist tourists who don't understand our way of life and mock it.

For the northern mountains, the Hanzen Shield Mountain Range, these remain our pride and joy. Picturesque mountains that anyone would love to see. This is where we must excel. Whether it be supporting eco-lodges for tourists (without depressing the development of local land and comrades), creating path trails towards the monasteries alongst the mountains or cultural immersion weeks, with Local Committees being invited to partake in that, with all funds going towards them to prevent developmental depression.

Moving past the shield, we get to our forests. Besides hiking trails, Local Committees are invited to invite tourists to actually help out with communes for a week. There, they can assist via planting and harvesting, attend Local Committee meetings, or learn about the farmer-labour movement. For the hiking trails, the goal will be to educate tourists about the natural fauna, biodiversity and flora of Xsampa. 

Moving to the coast, we get the Sovereign Sea. Here, we can support investments into showing tourists the beauty of our coastlines. Publicly owned beachfronts for example. Solely beholden to local communities, not to private social enterprises. Alternatively, they can experience underwater diving museums, where they can learn about the life underneath the waves of the Sovereign Sea, learn about workers who tragically lost their lives at sea, and sustainable ferry routes alongst the coast.

But, as a socialist nation, we have one aspect of tourism that capitalist countries don't. Ideological Tourism. Whether it's tourists wanting to see the success of Socialism or curious capitalists wanting to see a socialist country, Xsampa presents a unique opportunity. And one we won't waste. As such, we can present new experiences. PAX tours, where (some) sessions of PAX can be seen by tourists (provided that they don't disturb PAX) and can engage with pre-approved members of PAX after the session. Besides that, turning tragedy into learning. The SCT had confirmed they won't touch the Memorial to the Victims of Nuclear War. That is an area for mourning and grief. Tourists may visit on their own if they wish, but they won't be directed there. Instead, the Museum of Remembrance for the Victims of Nuclear War will be founded. The goal is to teach not just tourists, but also Xsampans who may want to visit about the costs that nuclear weaponry has on the world. For any tourists attending these, it is encouraged they are respectful. Mockery of victims, the Bargas Chenpo, the Red Bass War or encouraging and supporting nuclear weapons will see the tourists kicked out of the Museum and directed to their temporal stay. Should bad behavior continue, they will be asked to leave Xsampa outright.

But like everything, tourism needs infrastructure. Hiking trails will have signage in Canrillaise instead of solely Xsampan, tourist exchange offices, ran by Local Committees who will help tourists get facilitated, and not be lost. Each Canton will work with the Sub-Committee of Tourism to manage tourism in their own Canton. One size does not fit all.

Because of an ever so common case of countries opening up their cultures to tourism, we see those cultures degrade, and development of individuals plummet. As such, tourism will remain largely focused on the environment instead of Xsampan customs and culture. As such, while tourists won't be denied from trying to enter during holidays such as Unification Day, May Day, Zugsar, the Week of Renewal, the Festival of Lights, People's Yogurt Festival, Aurousseau Day, or Rangrtogs Zlaba, they will not be encouraged either.
