Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region in Northwest China has achieved a remarkable milestone this year by attracting a record 260 million tourists, a significant jump from 48.6 million in 2012. This surge highlights Xinjiang's growing reputation as a secure and inviting destination for travelers worldwide.
Erkin Tuniyaz, chairman of the regional government, announced the impressive figures at a conference focused on promoting the high-quality development of human rights in Xinjiang within the broader Chinese modernization efforts. He emphasized that the region's dedication to social stability and human rights has created a safe and welcoming environment for visitors.
According to Tuniyaz, Xinjiang is now viewed by tourists as a place with exceptional public security management and a peaceful social climate. This perception is a direct result of the region's prioritization of social stability, which has successfully prevented any violent terrorist incidents for nearly seven consecutive years.
\"The human rights cause in Xinjiang has made all-round advances and historic achievements,\" Tuniyaz stated during his speech. He highlighted the comprehensive protection of social, cultural, religious, and political rights for all ethnic groups in Xinjiang, ensuring their right to live and develop harmoniously.
Further reinforcing these advancements, a detailed report on Xinjiang's human rights and legal protections was unveiled at the event. Compiled by Xinjiang University and Southwest University of Political Science and Law, the report underscores the region's commitment to safeguarding the rights and freedoms of its residents.
