According to a news briefing of the district's two sessions on Jan 6, the airport area will build convention and consumption complexes to welcome global experts and visitors who are fond of different shopping experiences.

Luo Boming, deputy director of the district's administrative committee, indicated that more efforts will be made to improve the four major industrial parks – specifically logistics, comprehensive bonding, aviation community and life and health clusters –  in the area.

The district also plans to create a separate channel for international investment promotion, focusing on contacts with Germany, France, the UK, Japan and other countries.

In addition, Daxing district is expected to compile an industrial map featuring the aviation industry and life and health and new-generation information technology, and to work with adjacent Hebei province to help enterprises gain access to the local comprehensive bonded area.
