When tourism industry develops further, the demands of travelers are changing. They pay more attention to not only the sightseeing, bus also all the process including hotels, catering, shopping, etc. In addition, there are so many ancient towns that the developing competition is very fierce. So Zhouzhuang has to improve the quality of all tourism aspects in order to satisfy with the visitors.

For one thing, they built up some new projects, such as boat tour on the water around the ancient town, painter village, bar street and so on. For another thing, they are improving the quality of traveler’s experiences. Take the hotel for an example, they updated old small hotels, adding up more local cultural aspects, which makes visitors more enjoyable. Although the price of the hotel is higher than before, it is more popular. If you don’t reserve the hotel before, you won’t get one room at all on weekend.
