【太陽報專訊】藝人洪永城可說是以「旅遊」起家,迷你倉為拍攝節目,足�遍布半個地球。他認為一個好的背包是旅行的最佳良伴,而從外地購買的旅遊書,則如「指南針」般帶他深入認識當地的獨有文化。另外,他還熱愛收藏明信片、咖啡杯及當地貨幣,為每段旅程留下紀念。洪永城因工作關係經常四圍飛,他覺得每次旅行都可以重整身心,擴闊視野:「有�人飛得太多會覺得好�,但我就唔同,畢竟�香港睇�睇去同一個景點,感覺幾刻板,去到唔同地方先令人有新視野,引發好奇心,有好奇心就自然會有動力。」他覺得世界每個角落都存在不同故事,希望可以揹�背包,走遍世界每個角落,再親筆寫明信片:「將來老�再睇番自己寫過��、儲起一大堆�硬幣,就可以無憾咁同自己講,我從來都唔係個井底之蛙,我已經走過萬里路,認識呢個世界。」洪永城坦言尚有半個地球未踏足,來年希望繼續做一隻「冇腳�雀仔」。各國明信片雖然明信片給人感覺懷舊,但洪永城覺得這正正是最直接留下回憶的東西:「去到每個地方,我都會寫低自己�心情同經歷,當返到屋企收到,睇番自己當時�感受真係好奇妙,有時候突然收到朋友寄畀我�明信片都好開心,始於親筆寫低意義比較大。」旅行書旅行書可說是外遊的必備之物,很多人會預self storage買來準備行程,但洪永城則較為隨心,若果是純粹自己旅行,他會選擇到達當地才買旅遊書:「因為好多時旅遊書為�迎合大家口味,介紹�都係玩、食、睇風景等,往往忽略�當地一�獨特文化,好似�本『Planet Ocean』就介紹當地原來好注重海洋,呢�訊息只有當地旅行書先會睇到,透過書本去發掘佢��內涵。」咖啡杯洪永城每逢到不同國家,都會找尋寫有當地城市名稱的咖啡杯,能夠品嘗不同味道的咖啡之餘,也可以作為留念:「韓國同馬來西亞�個係紀念版,最記得去威尼斯時四圍搵,但原來係冇呢間咖啡店,而去到台南時就��賣晒,惟有下次再去過!」背囊洪永城儲起十多個背囊,全因他覺得去旅行時,不同的背囊可反映出當時的感覺或目的,例如出埠工作,背囊自然斯文得多,他說:「但如果去巴黎,我就想帶一個型格�甚至係皮造�,而去尼泊爾就要換一個多功能性,例如係防水、防風,所以每次我會因應地點、心情去揀隨行�背囊,買埋買埋就咁多個喇!」各國貨幣有人喜歡去旅行時用到一毫子也不剩,但洪永城反而喜歡儲起來,因他覺得與其勉強把錢用光,不如留起來讓自己有藉口舊地重遊:「如果再去�個地方,而你又冇時間提早換錢,呢�Spare Money就好實用,仲可以保值添!」迷利倉

□本報記者 高改芳 上海報道1月16日,self storage馬明哲在上海召開的“中國平安互聯網金融戰略春茗溝通會”上宣佈,平安互聯網金融的目標是以社交金融為核心的移動服務平台。與騰訊、阿里巴巴等現有社交通訊、社交電商不同,平安的互聯網金融是從保險、金融起步,再滲透到社交金融。馬明哲介紹,平安有8000多萬客戶的數據,從這些客戶開始建立平安自己的即時通訊端,完成支付、投資等功能並不困難。中國證券報記者瞭解到,平安已經在內測的“壹錢包”,可以加好友聊天,還可以給自己的朋友轉賬、網上購物,購買平安陸金所的理財產品。業內人士分析,此舉意味著平安不想受制于淘寶、騰訊,要建立自己的互聯網即時通訊平台。打造社交金融平安集團董事長馬明哲表示,平安的互聯網金融戰略將立足于“社交金融”,將金融融入“醫、食、住、行、玩”的生活場景,主要依托的平台是“壹錢包”。平安希望逐步將“壹錢包”的應用滲透到333項生活場景。根據戰略部署,未來平安的互聯網金融平台將著力打造管理財富、管理健康、管理生活三大核心功能,從生活到金融,推動非傳統金融客戶轉化和遷徙成為金融客戶。管理財富被馬明哲形象地稱為賺錢、省錢、借錢。“賺錢”主要是購買陸金所、銀行、證券理財產品等;“省錢”指積分抵現、消費返還、商圈折扣等;“借錢”指信用支付、無卡消費、小額貸款等。馬明哲把騰訊的微信定義為社交通訊,把淘寶的來往定義為社交電商,而把平安即將推出的“壹錢迷利倉”定義為社交金融。他表示,與電商不同,平安的核心優勢在於掌握了健康和資產兩大核心資源。健康就是平安的8000余萬保險客戶;資產就是平安的全金融牌照。而互聯網產業的支柱,也是最賺錢的,就是健康和資產兩大塊。馬明哲說,和騰訊、淘寶在一起不會打架。互聯網對金融業產生的影響包括:10年內60%的現金、信用卡被取代;15年內,大部分中小金融機構的前台由互聯網企業完成;金融機構網點的前台將會小型化、社區化、智能化、多元化。險企爭相“觸網”平安互聯網金融核心團隊也在此次會議上首次集體亮相。他們都是中國平安近年來引進的以“互聯網”+“國際化”為主的精英人才。未來,平安的五大門戶壹錢包、天下通、萬里通、一賬通和醫健通將實現互聯互通。互聯網正深入改變包括保險業在內的金融業態。先是“三馬賣保險”的�安保險在渠道上完全摒棄了保險行業傳統的銀保、人海和電話戰術,從產品需求到服務流程都依托于互聯網。但�安保險更像是馬雲的阿里巴巴子公司——大股東浙江阿里巴巴電子商務有限公司持股19.9%,騰訊、中國平安分別持股15%。因此,平安更急於探索自己的互聯網發展道路。目前,包括國華人壽、泰康人壽、太平洋保險等在內的幾十家保險公司都在淘寶上開了旗艦店。中國太保、中國太平2012年就相繼設立了太平洋保險在線服務科技有限公司、太平電子商務有限公司。人保財險、中國太保、平安車險、大地財險等保險公司均設立了專門的網銷平台。迷你倉

上年12月底,mini storage中國工信部向包括京東和阿里巴巴子公司中國萬網在內的11家民企發放首批移動通訊轉售業務牌照。持有牌照的這些企業被視為虛擬運營商,可以通過租用三大電訊商(中國移動、中國聯通和中國電信)的網絡設施或產品,推出自家品牌的個性化增值服務(如短信、語音和流通數據等)。該次發牌也標誌�民營資本正式進入基礎電訊業,國有企業壟斷的局面被打破。筆者認為,民營資本進入可以激活電訊行業的活力,推動業務創新。隨�互聯網技術的迅速發展和智能手機的普及,尤其是微信出現後,三大電訊商的傳統業務如短信、彩信和語音業務等受到極大衝擊。此外,手機應用程序的大幅使用,導致數據流量需求大增,使電訊商數據服務質量下降。因此,為提高行業整體水平,引入民營資本競爭通訊行業及其他相關行業多有裨益。工信部規定,三大電訊商每家必須與最少兩個虛擬運營商合作,並給予網絡租賃優惠,租賃價格不得高於當地同類服務的最優惠價格。價格戰難現 服務趨差異化引入民營資本難免會令三大電訊商盈利受壓,因為短信、語音和數据服務等難免會出現降價現象,但不會出現價格戰。對於虛擬運營商而言,通過租用基礎運營商的網絡批量轉售服務賺取差價的可能性極低,因為利潤空間非常有限。虛擬運營商最有self storage能把移動通訊業務納入自身的產品體系,建立新的服務模式,滿足不同類型用戶的需求。首批獲牌企業中,以京東為例,其用戶已超過1.4億,年齡層主要集中在23-45歲,是內地最主要的手機消費群體。同時京東也是內地最大的手機網絡零售商,擁有完善的物流配送網絡。筆者預計,京東除了包裝自身品牌的語音和移動數據等服務之外,很可能會採取減免網絡流量費用的方式來刺激手機消費。相似的例子還有天音控股,作為內地最大的手機分銷商之一,旗下還擁有歐朋瀏覽器、塔讀解讀、九九樂遊手機遊戲等一系列產品。獲得牌照後,公司可能會通過減免流量等方式推廣歐朋瀏覽器,以犧牲數據流量費用來換取廣告和遊戲收入,提升公司品牌價值。國外最成功的先例是維珍移動,公司通過將年輕用戶細分為體育、文藝等不同類型,剛投入市場就吸納大量用戶,目前用戶已達到1,500萬戶,是全球最大的虛擬運營商。內地市場龐大,加上政府扶持科網創新,完全有可能出現一間或多間、用戶達到甚至超過維珍移動的虛擬運營商。筆者認為,虛擬移動業務未必可以直接為企業帶來可觀利潤,但若結合企業其它業務,將會發揮巨大作用。■題為編者所擬。本版文章,為作者之個人意見,不代表本報立場。比富達證券(香港)業務部副總經理 林振輝迷你倉

如從區域競爭角度出發,自存倉廣東金融高新區以“急行軍”速度進入互聯網金融領域的行為,就更容易得到解釋。互聯網金融超出地域的行業特製,以及各地的積極動作,都將注定千燈湖的這條路將並不容易。在廣東金融高新區所面臨的區域競爭中,廣州無疑是最具威脅力的一個。由於前者起步較早,因此打下了較好基礎;但近兩年來廣州圍繞廣州金融城等載體的發力,已足以分走千燈湖的光彩。一個月前,《關於全面建設廣州區域金融中心的決定》正式印發,這是廣州市首次以市委、市政府名義出台的關於全面部署加快金融創新發展的綱領性文件,也是全國各大城市中首個以黨委、政府“決定”形式出台的金融政策文件。千燈湖的緊迫感不難理解。不過由於互聯網金融行業輻射廣、業務範圍遠超地理限制這一特質,無論佛山還是廣州,在這一領域所面臨的區域競爭都不容小覷。目前國內已有多迷你倉出租地區明確打出進軍互聯網金融的旗號。長三角上周傳來的消息稱,中興通訊、中國移動、中國銀聯和浦發銀行四家企業將結成移動互聯網金融產業聯合體,致力于把上海張江高科技園區打造成全國首個移動互聯網金融示範區。在這些“大樹”支撐下,張江互聯網金融發展備受看好。而在珠三角,來自騰訊的消息稱,騰訊在深圳前海已成立多家公司,主要業務方向就是電子商務和互聯網金融,總註冊資金約為16億元人民幣。未來騰訊在前海的投資不會少于100億元。某種角度上,這也可視為一種“大樹模式”。事實上,廣東金融高新區早期同樣以“搬金融大樹”,成功吸引各類企業聚集而聞名。盡管目前已有易聯、沃銀等企業進駐千燈湖,但該片區大樹仍然不多。廣東金融高新區是否能繼續複制這一模式,也許將與千燈湖在下一個競爭熱點中能否形成先發優勢息息相關。南方日報記者 趙越迷你倉

王志靈廣東網上藥店面臨新一輪整頓。廣東省食品藥品監督管理局近日開展了針對交易網站服務信息的全面監督檢查,24小時迷你倉共發現了12家網站違規在網上發佈信息。省食藥監局立即發出整改通知書,並約談相關企業負責人。1月14日,廣東省食安委辦公室主任、廣東省食藥監局局長段宇飛公開表示,此輪針對“兩節”“兩會”期間的食品藥品安全隱患專項排查工作將持續到“兩會”結束。目前,包括健客網、廣州二天堂大藥房連鎖有限公司等在內的10家網上藥店,因違規銷售處方藥,被責令暫停互聯網藥品交易服務,進入自查整頓階段。網上藥店一直作為藥品零售“第三渠道”被資本關注,但近年來,行業經營模式與盈利模式尚未成型,持續爆出的行業違規、違法行為已經將該渠道推向商譽危機邊緣。網絡藥品姍姍來遲“網上藥店從2010年開始發展至今沒有成功案例,經營模式和盈利模式不清晰。”與其它消費品相比,醫藥B2C姍姍來遲。中康資訊數據表明,2012年,中國網上藥店銷售規模從2011年的4億元上升到了16.65億元,這一數據到2013年已突破40億元大關,翻了兩倍還多。2005年,我國出現第一家網上藥店,但直至2012年中國醫藥B2C交易規模才開始呈現爆炸式增長。據中國網上藥店理事會會長徐軍在西普會上介紹,此輪醫藥B2C業務增長的背景是,醫藥零售商業大部分呈現下降的趨勢,2013年上半年醫藥零售總體銷售數據下降了4%。“現在幾乎所有的企業都在希望或者都在想著要上網,但是對於入網的路徑大家並不是非常的清晰,網上藥店從2010年開始發展至今沒有成功案例,經營模式和盈利模式不清晰。”徐軍說。國家食品藥品監督管理總局的統計顯示,具有“互聯網藥品信息服務”資質的企業達到4535家,具有“互聯網藥品交易服務”資質的企業達到196家。按照要求,向個人消費者提供互聯網藥品交易服務的企業,需同時具備《互聯網藥品信息服務資格證》和《互聯網藥品交易服務資格證》。中國醫藥物資協會2013年底發佈的《2013中國醫藥互聯網發展報告》顯示,截至2013年11月30日,國家藥監局發放的網上零售類B2C證書(即C證)132家,真正開展業務的不超過80家。目前廣東有41家合法網上藥店,占全國接近一半。一些醫藥上市公司也參與其中,如東阿阿膠、雲南白藥、同仁堂等。繼天貓、京東發力醫藥外,1號店、當當等也加入到醫藥B2C的競爭中。對此,醫藥零售業研究機構中康資訊將電商渠道列入醫藥銷售的六大終端之一,即城市等級醫院、縣域等級醫院、城市基層醫院、農村基層醫療市場、零售藥店市場和網上藥店市場。而對健客網等較早進入B2C市場的企業來說,更多的將網上藥店定位為繼醫療機構、零售店鋪之後的第三渠道。事實上,網上藥店賣藥業務寸步難行。據淘寶數據魔方數據顯示,天貓醫藥館2013年“迷你倉旺角11”醫藥品牌銷售排行榜中,杜蕾斯以802萬元的銷售額奪得冠軍,博士倫437萬元和歐姆龍429萬元分列2、3位。在醫藥品類排行榜中,計生用品、保健品和醫療器材呈現三足鼎立的態勢。中國網上藥店理事會秘書長張勇透露,網上藥店真正意義上的藥品類銷售額比例不到一半,約45%。據中康資訊統計,中成藥、化學藥和器械類產品是網上藥店銷售的三駕馬車,三者份額合計達85%。 從自主B2C的品類發展情況來看,對使用安全性要求較低的外用藥銷售的比例相對較高,外用鎮痛和皮膚病用藥占據了銷售的前兩位;在實體店銷售較好的感冒藥,由於網購的實時性不高,所以網購的比重不高;由於老年人上網人群不大,導致慢性病用藥網購的比重也不高。“第三渠道”存疑網上藥店監管難、質量參差不齊帶來的低信譽、高風險,使其不像其他互聯網消費領域有前赴後繼的資金湧入。網上藥店的質量可控性也是市場資金對該渠道存疑的關鍵。一直以來,中國沿用2005年發佈的《互聯網藥品信息服務管理辦法》和2005年發佈的《互聯網藥品交易服務審批暫行規定》兩部管理辦法對網上藥店進行監管。政策規定,網上藥店只能銷售非處方藥、需要自行建立配送網絡。中國網上藥店理事會秘書長張勇認為,這在很大程度上制約了B2C醫藥電子商務的發展,特別是OTC藥品(非處方藥)電子商務的發展。廣東省食藥監局局長段宇飛表示,本周一已經召集了32家企業的負責人,接下來還將根據調查取證的結果和國家有關法規進行處理,處罰形式包括罰款,最嚴重的是吊銷違法企業的網上營業執照。此外,按照目前國家相關要求,廣東以後只有藥店才可以銷售嬰幼兒乳品。21世紀經濟報道記者查詢廣東省食藥監局資料記錄發現,近幾年來,針對網上藥店經營監管查處從未停止,而根源在於網上藥店違法違規經營持續不斷。2009年至2010年,廣東省食品藥品監管部門向有關部門移送了58家違法發佈藥品信息或違法銷售藥品的網站,隨後一年,廣東食品藥品監管部門發現311家網站涉嫌違法。2012年,深圳市藥監部門搗毀制假售假窩點28個,涉案貨值1418.21萬元。據國家食品藥品監督管理總局于2013年10月份公佈信息顯示,2000余家網站涉嫌違法違規售藥。2013年年底國家食品藥品監督管理總局出台的《關於加強互聯網藥品管理銷售的通知》,對醫藥B2C官網的處方藥銷售又加強管理。徐軍表示,網上藥店經營面臨兩個核心問題,經營發展模式和盈利模式——行業從2005年發展至今,尚未有成功案例。一位網上藥店創始人對21世紀經濟報道記者表示,該網站從2009年開業至今,接觸過不下數十家投資人,但尚未達成投資意向,資本很謹慎——網上藥店監管難、質量參差不齊帶來的低信譽、高風險,使其不像其他互聯網消費領域有前赴後繼的資金湧入。(編輯 徐萬國 陳龍)mini storage

“該認真總結四川經驗推廣到全世界,迷你倉這是我們對全球的貢獻。”國家旅遊局局長邵琪偉對旅遊的“四川經驗”給予高度評價。用“V”字型來形容四川旅遊“十一五”時期走過的路再合適不過。5年來,四川省旅遊業發展經歷了前所未有的困難和考驗,不但取得了顯著成績,站上新的更高起點,而且積累了支撐“十二五”更大發展的寶貴經驗。深化政府主導,營造發展環境;緊扣中心,遵循規律;面向需求,強化服務;重心下移,引導發展;應對危機,主動創新。“十一五”期間,四川旅遊產業圍繞 “兩個加快”,實施“五個統籌”,創新災後旅遊恢複重建模式,走出了一條“政府主導、企業主體、市場化運作”的特色發展之路,全省旅遊經濟呈現良好發展態勢,提前一年完成了“十一五”規劃的各項經濟指標。上圖:四川阿壩州金川藏族婦女。右圖:成都寬窄巷子茶座。若爾蓋草原。四川旅遊“十一五”書寫輝煌2007年,1217億元,這是一個標誌性的年份和令人欣喜的數字,四川省旅遊首破千億元。然而2008年,在汶川特大地震和國際金融危機雙重影響下,四川旅遊經歷了旅遊收入大幅下挫的低谷。但在2009年又強勢反彈,全省旅遊總收入達到了14 72.48億元,提前一年完成了“十一五”規劃中確定的“2010年全省旅遊總收入超過1400億元”目標任務。“十一五”期間,四川省旅遊產業綜合實力顯著增強,旅遊總收入增長率、國內旅遊人次年增長率、對全國旅遊收入貢獻率連續多年以高于全國平均水平的速度遞增。據統計,四川省旅遊總收入年均增長34.8%,高于全國23.6%的平均水平。全省旅遊總收入、遊客總人次均居西部地區首位,2007年旅遊總收入在西部地區率先突破千億元大關,成為全國第八個突破千億元的省份。旅遊產業體系不斷完善。“十一五”的5年,四川省實施旅遊線路統籌規劃,進一步優化全省旅遊發展布局,初步建立了以旅遊景區—旅遊城鎮—旅遊通道為支撐的新型旅遊目的地體系。成都市成為全國首批三個“中國最佳旅遊城市”之一,亞洲第一個世界優秀旅遊目的地網絡成員,並獲聯合國教科文組織授予的“美食之都”稱號;全省新增“中國優秀旅遊城市”7個,新增數量全國排名第二。同時,四川省多元發展旅遊產品體系,圍繞老五大旅遊區和新五大旅遊區的建設,在全省初步形成了生態旅遊、紅色旅遊、鄉村旅遊、會展旅遊、康體旅遊、養生旅遊和自駕車旅遊等多種形式的旅遊產品體系。與此同時,“十一五”期間,四川省旅遊產業要素全面提升,目前全省有星級飯店533家,其中五星級16家;旅行社689家,大型旅遊購物、餐飲及娛樂服務企業1000余家;航空、公路、鐵路、水運等交通建設項目投資實現大幅增長;九寨溝漳扎鎮等40個特色旅遊城鎮建設成效顯著;旅遊企業發展環境得到進一步優化,基本形成以“吃、住、行、游、購、娛”等要素為主體,文化、信息、服務、環境等為支撐,具有一定規模和水平的旅遊產業要素體系。旅遊帶動功能更加突出。“十一五”期間,四川省旅遊業發揮引擎和帶動功能,促進了文化、商貿、交通、體育、通訊、信息、物流等服務業的發展,為工業、農業提供了新的市場空間。尤其是在促進就業、農民增收、推動欠發達地區經濟加速發展方面成效明顯。2010年全省涉旅單位(不包含旅遊教育機構)達到了10996個,直接從業人數為45.7852萬人,帶動相關就業155萬多人。通過大力發展鄉村旅遊,極大促進了農民就地轉型和就地就業,增加了農民創收渠道,推動了新農村建設。從“依然美麗”走向“更加美麗”“十一五”時期是四川旅遊業發展極不尋常、極不平凡的5年。面對汶川特大地震自然災害和國際金融危機的雙重影響,四川旅遊業迅速複蘇並取得突破性發展。“5·12”mini storage川特大地震後,四川省旅遊行業成功完成了中國旅遊史上災情最重、數量最多、分佈最廣、難度最大的萬名遊客生死大營救。隨即,將旅遊產業確定為災後恢複重建的先導產業和優勢產業,編制了災後重建規劃,及時出台旅遊振興政策,廣泛宣傳恢複遊客信心,精心策劃“價格窪地”聚集人氣,調整營銷重點推出“千條自駕游線路”,健全緊急救援體系加強危機管理,迅速展開“五大行動”,全力實施“重振旅遊工程”。信心提振、招大引強、線路統籌、鄉村旅遊提升和質量強旅,業內人士把這“五大行動”總結為四川省旅遊發展歷史上最艱難背景下的最有力舉措,以此為抓手,四川旅遊探索出了一條災後重振的有效路徑。震後重建的農家樂不僅恢複舊貌,而且更注重提檔升級。2010年,四川省在部分基礎條件好、發展潛力大的城市郊區,探索並支持建設省級鄉村休閒度假旅遊區,並在成都、眉山、遂寧等城市周邊建設成了1-2個鄉村休閒度假旅遊區。為使災區旅遊業的發展能夠走上可持續發展的道路,整個災區旅遊在恢複重建的過程中,積極引導當地群�探索新的產業模式,改變之前原始的個體經營模式,協助當地資源整合,走集約化經營的道路,讓災區旅遊發展更加規範、更有特色、更富生命力。四川災區的新貌是偉大的抗震救災精神創造的奇跡,也成為海內外遊客關注的新熱點,四川旅遊正從“依然美麗”走向“更加美麗”,災區旅遊正逐步成為四川旅遊發展新的增長極。發展促轉變,轉變謀發展“十一五”的5年,四川旅遊進入了質量和數量並重、內涵和外延並舉的發展新時期,突出抓好旅遊基礎建設、旅遊產品多樣化和旅遊業軟實力等“三大任務”,使旅遊產業在發展中促轉變,在轉變中謀發展,不斷提升核心競爭力。2010年,四川省旅遊行業努力克服山洪、泥石流災害等不利因素,使旅遊經濟繼續保持了又好又快的發展態勢,國內旅遊、入境旅遊、出境旅遊三大市場全面高速增長。借助四川省委主要領導率隊的“天府四川寶島行”平台,開展“樂行四川”旅遊大篷車宣傳活動,掀起了四川旅遊在台灣宣傳聲勢的新高潮,獲得近年來最大效應和成果。拜訪世界旅遊組織,在希臘、西班牙舉行四川旅遊推介會,組織赴越南等5個境外主要客源地強勢推介促銷,與越南國家旅遊總局簽署《川越旅遊合作十條》等,使得當年四川省入境遊人次增幅震後首超國內游。當年全省共實現旅遊總收入1886.09億元,同比增長28.1%,超額完成省政府下達的全年目標任務。2013年1月至10月,四川省累計接待遊客4.58億人次,實現旅遊總收入3468.26 億元,同比增長17.78%。其中,接待國內遊客4.56億人次,同比增長14.66%,實現國內旅遊收入3427.02億元,同比增長18.12%;接待入境遊客181.43萬人次,同比減少4.86%,實現旅遊外匯收入6.53億美元,同比減少3.32%。記者從2014年全省旅遊宣傳營銷工作會上瞭解到,2014年,四川省將積極應對 日益激烈的國際和省際市場競爭,搶抓機遇,力求實效,開拓創新,開展常態化、差異化、精准型的旅遊宣傳營銷,推動該省旅遊業持續快速健康的發展。四川省旅遊以入境游市場宣傳營銷為重心,大力發展入境市場,積極拓展國內市場。會議醞 釀了四川旅遊外向型、多層次、跨部門大營銷機制,這為推動四川省入境旅遊市場的發展,擬建立四川入境旅遊營銷聯盟,以“平等、實效、共贏”為核心理念,激勵聯盟會員組織境外遊客來川,加強聯盟成員之間的合作交流提供了強有力的支持。據悉,2014年,四川全省力爭實現旅遊總收入4400億元,同比增長16%,力爭實現接待入境遊客230萬人次,將旅遊產業推向更高的水平。(據《四川日報》)上圖:平樂古鎮街景。左圖:魅力四川。儲存

Source: The Philadelphia InquirerJan.迷你倉 15--It's a battle between conventional politics and contemporary media. That's the reality that faces Gov. Christie, who is trying to gain control of a story -- the George Washington Bridge traffic-jam jam -- that's in no one's control.On cable news, social media, and in the blogosphere, too, many other tellers are telling the tale. Christopher Harper, who teaches communications law at Temple University, says that despite exemplary performances at a news conference on Thursday and at Tuesday's State of the State address, Christie "has no control over the narrative at all."A document-nova exploded last Wednesday at the Bergen Record, blog site Talking Points Memo, and the New York Times. E-mails suggested that Christie staffers planned a purposeful traffic slowdown on the bridge to annoy Mark Sokolich, mayor of Fort Lee, who hadn't supported Christie's reelection.Christie released a timely enough statement: "This behavior is not representative of me or my administration in any way, and people will be held responsible for their actions." Next day, he did a masterful job, when, at a marathon news conference, he stood for 108 minutes, took responsibility, announced he had fired key staff, and fielded many questions."Under the circumstances," says G. Terry Madonna, director of the Center for Politics and Public Affairs at Franklin and Marshall College in Lancaster, "what he did was as good as it could possibly have been."And on Tuesday, Christie delivered his State of the State address. He acknowledged the fracas right at the top -- "mistakes were clearly made and as a result, we let down the people we're entrusted to serve" -- but also noted accomplishments and charted future policies.Madonna notes that "the applause was surprisingly enthusiastic. He was very shrewd to keep stressing, to a Democratic-controlled legislature, bipartisanship, 'Look at everything we've done together.' It's absolutely textbook."At one time, not so long ago, "textbook" would have helped grab back a story on the loose. Not now.It was already a day old, a lifetime in today's media world, when Christie took the lectern Thursday. By then, thousands of other voices had taken over.And among those voices, there was scant respect for office -- a casualty since the Web was first woven in 1991. Harper notes that Christie is "being hammered from both left and right. Democrats sense weakness and are going for a political takedown, and meantself storageme, a lot of conservatives have never liked him and have been hammering him, too."Advice was free. Minutes after the documents first emerged, many were dispensing it. Former presidential adviser Ari Fleischer tweeted: "If I were Christie, I would go on camera, show how angry he is, dismiss his staff and apologize to the public -- and the mayor. Be blunt." And he was. Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) advised him to "answer every question" -- and he did.But comics also came out in force. Albert Brooks: "If you believe Christie knew nothing about those e-mails, there's a bridge I want to clog up for you." The writer Joyce Carol Oates tweeted the headline "Governor Throws Aide Under Bus," and comic Steve Martin added: "However, bus stalled in traffic." David Corn had an especially Jersey-centric quip: "Christie releases statement: 'The highway was jammed with broken heroes on a last chance power drive.' "Throughout the news conference, it just continued. Myriad voices analyzed, debunked, and hate-tweeted, creating an entire other narrative. Democratic strategist Mo Elleithee tweeted what became a major debating point: "Biggest lie of this presser: This was not the culture I created for this office."Same for the State of the State. Dell Poncet of the Philadelphia Business Journal tweeted: "Christie: Scandal 'does not define us or our state' Of course not, 'The Sopranos' does."As ever, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert of Comedy Central gave command performances, with Stewart stressing the "Jerseyness" of Christie, and Colbert his "108-minute someone-else-a-culpa."Who tells the story? Everyone and no one. Even as Christie sought to turn from scandal to the future, the Web sizzled about a meeting he had, during the bridge slowdown, with David Wildstein, a staffer who allegedly ordered it. What does it mean? It almost doesn't matter. The story, like its tellers, goes where it will.As Harper says, "Now we're leaping from Bridgegate to misuse of Hurricane Sandy relief funds. I don't know what you can do on Facebook, Twitter, reddit, or YouTube. How do you stave that off?""So many people, so many tools, so many sources, and a changing attitude toward reporting," Madonna says. "That changes campaigns, it changes politics. It's never been so fast, and no one can catch up."___jt@phillynews.com 215-854-4406 @jtimpaneCopyright: ___ (c)2014 The Philadelphia Inquirer Visit The Philadelphia Inquirer at .philly.com Distributed by MCT Information Services迷利倉
