Shanxi province has issued 36 measures to promote high-quality service consumption and establish a distinctive "Shanxi Service" system, focusing on expanding domestic demand, enhancing public welfare, and facilitating economic transformation and upgrading.

The province will prioritize culture and tourism, sports, elderly and childcare services, digital and green consumption, dining, accommodation, domestic services, housing services, and education and training. 

Shanxi plans to integrate culture, business, and tourism, with efforts to bolster Taiyuan's "concert economy" and develop new experiences like "traveling with concerts" tourism offering. The province will also implement a 240-hour visa-free transit policy to boost inbound tourism.

The sports economy will be enhanced by hosting major events such as the WTT Contender Taiyuan and the Taiyuan Marathon, fostering outdoor sports, developing community fitness facilities, and promoting the opening of public sports venues.

The province will implement urban and rural happiness projects for the elderly and support the establishment and operation of inclusive childcare institutions.

Efforts will also be made to expand 5G coverage, enrich new scenarios such as smart shopping guides and digital human live broadcasts, and improve the recycling system for renewable resources. 

To ensure the effective implementation of these measures, Shanxi will strengthen support for finance, talent, and regulation, and launch activities such as the "Shanxi Service Consumption Season".
