Features: Under the guidance of the Party Central Committee's policy of "Seizing opportunities, deepening reform, expanding opening-up, promoting development, and maintaining stability," China's tourism industry, like other sectors, has made significant progress. Its proportion in the national economy has been increasing year by year, with an unstoppable momentum. However, the development of the tourism industry still falls short of the requirements of the international environment and must catch up urgently. To develop China's tourism industry, it is not only necessary to develop and exploit various tourism resources and establish hotels of different levels but also to cultivate and train tourism professionals of various types. The compilation and publication of a high-level tourism vocational and technical teaching material series is an important link in improving educational quality. In the process of compiling and publishing vocational and technical teaching materials, we must not only actively accept the guidance and support of the Vocational Education Department of the State Education Commission and local education departments at all levels but also widely accept the advice and support of peers from various regions. This will enable the series of teaching materials to be continuously enriched and improved in educational practice. We hope that the publication of this series of teaching materials will further attract attention to tourism vocational education and contribute to the continuous improvement of the quality of vocational and technical education. We believe that in the near future, a set of tourism vocational and technical teaching materials with Chinese characteristics will emerge.
