Benefiting from local debt policies, cultural and sports tourism construction is expected to pick up. Since 2024, the Ministry of Finance has arranged a 1.2 trillion yuan debt limit to support local settlement of hidden debts and the absorption of government arrears to enterprises. In order to ease the pressure on local governments to reduce debt, it is proposed to increase large-scale debt limits to replace hidden local government debt stocks at once, and step up support for local debt risk resolution. Funding for the construction of the local cultural, sports and tourism industry is expected to increase. The company's main projects are government projects. Both stock projects and incremental projects will benefit from on-going local debt policies to support improved performance, and innovative businesses will bring increased development. Since July 2024, the company has successively won bids for 7 large-scale cultural and sports tourism integrated service projects, including the Sichuan Universiade Cultural Development Theatre and the Tianjin Dongli Lake Live Performance Project. The total order amount is 0.479 billion yuan, which will strongly support performance improvement. In addition, the company is actively exploring innovative business sectors such as digital arts technology, tourism and performing arts, and venue operations, adding to the increase in subsequent projects participating in C-side operations, which can bring more performance growth points to the company.
