People's Daily Commentary: Exploring Economic Growth from Sports

The rise of the sports industry is rooted in the people's desire for a better life. The innovative breakthroughs in the sports goods manufacturing industry have injected new momentum into the development of the sports industry. The vigorous vitality of the sports industry also comes from its strong "linkage" ability. To promote the sustained development of the sports industry, it is also necessary to look beyond the realm of sports and consider the overall situation. Integrating sports facility construction into urban renewal, park development, and comprehensive rural revitalization can help revitalize existing resources and optimize new resources. In areas rich in natural resources, developing outdoor activities such as camping, cycling, stream tracing, and fishing can transform natural resource advantages into hotspots for sports consumption. When the new trend of "one person participating, whole family traveling; one event, multiple days of consumption" becomes popular, the strong pull of sports on industries such as transportation, accommodation, catering, and cultural tourism becomes even more evident.
