China plans to finance 10,000 villages by the year of 2010 to help promote the tourism development in the rural areas.

The China National Tourism Administration put forward a suggestion at a recent tourism seminar held in Wuhan, saying that it will enlarge support to the tourism industry in China's rural area and advance the rural travel service system, helping the countryside explore its travel market and strengthen tourism personnel training.

Following this suggestion, China will be able to provide 350,000 job opportunities for farmers and their net income is expected to increase by 5% by the year of 2010.
