From 2021 to 2022，ethnic minority areas actively promote the development of rural tourism，making great contributions to consolidating the achievements in poverty alleviation and boosting rural revitalization. Overall，it shows the following characteristics：rural tourism in ethnic areas continues to heat up，and even reverse growth has been achieved under the normalization of epidemic prevention and control. Typical benchmarks of rural tourism continue to emerge；rural tourism products are gradually optimized；rural tourism formats are innovated and upgraded；rural tourism has achieved the goal of rejuvenating villages and enriching the people. However，there are also problems in the development：lagged management level，inadequate infrastructure，lack of integration of advantageous resources，destruction of the ecological environment，strong seasonality of tourism reception，etc. Therefore，we should continue to promote the development of rural tourism in ethnic minority areas by strengthening the government-led overall planning，cultivating a team of tourism professionals，promoting the development of characteristic rural industries，broadening the financing channels of special funds，continuously promoting the renovation of human settlements，and innovating tourism marketing and promotion channels.
