2024 is a booming year for the tourism industry. Cultural and tourism consumption has become a major force in expanding and boosting consumption, and the important role of "the tourism industry as a new growth point of the national economy and a strategic pillar industry of the national economy" is becoming increasingly prominent. With the expansion of the "tourism empowerment effect," governments and cultural and tourism departments at all levels of provinces and regions attach great importance to the investment and financing work of the cultural and tourism industry, continuously exploring innovation in cultural and tourism financing and expanding financing channels for enterprises. This article focuses on the policy support funds available for cultural and tourism project development.
Central Budgetary Investment Subsidy Funds Policy
(1) Special Funds for the Central Government to Subsidize Local Public Cultural Service Systems
1. Key areas: This includes projects providing basic public cultural services, maintenance and equipment purchases for public cultural and sports facilities, the construction of grassroots public cultural service personnel teams, and other basic public cultural service projects. Specific expenditure ranges for basic public cultural service projects include reading newspapers and magazines, listening to radio, watching television, watching movies, sending local operas, providing open access to facilities, and conducting cultural and sports activities. Maintenance and equipment purchases for public cultural and sports facilities (1) Public libraries, cultural centers, museums, memorials, theaters, stadiums, radio and television transmission (monitoring) stations, relay stations, satellite earth stations, and radio and television broadcasting institutions that retain their status as public institutions. (2) Maintenance and equipment purchases for performing arts groups, news publishing units, etc., that retain their status as public institutions; maintenance and protection of provincial and sub-provincial cultural relics protection units; maintenance and equipment purchases for township and village-level comprehensive cultural service centers. (3) Purchase of mobile cultural vehicles.
2. Subsidy standards: Mobile stage vehicles are determined at a standard of 500,000 yuan per vehicle; public interest performances of opera (opera entering the countryside) are determined at a standard of 6 performances per township per year, with a subsidy of 5,000 yuan per performance; public interest performances of opera (endangered opera genres free or low-priced performances) are determined according to the number of endangered opera genres and the calculated standard (purchasing 100 performances per year, 5,000 yuan per performance), and provincial subsidies are determined. The provincial finance departments and cultural and tourism departments determine the purchasers of public interest performance services, the number of performances purchased, and the subsidy standards, and the implementation plan is filed with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism; the operating and maintenance fees for wireless coverage of central radio and television programs are determined according to the current standards; the high-definition interactive digital set-top boxes for ethnic minority areas are determined at a one-time subsidy of 100 yuan per household; the short-board project for national fitness venues and equipment is determined at 200,000 yuan per street (township). When arranging project budgets, relevant provincial finance departments and sports departments should avoid overlapping with projects arranged by other central government funds.
General project subsidy funds use the factor allocation method, including basic factors, business factors, and financial factors. The allocation amount is calculated according to the basic factors and business factors (each accounting for 50% of the weight), and then the allocation amount is adjusted according to the coefficient of the financial difficulty of each province (region, city) stipulated in the central government's method for balanced transfer payments to local governments to determine the subsidy amount.
(2) Intangible Cultural Heritage Protection Funds
1. Key areas: (1) Subsidies for the protection of representative projects, used to subsidize expenditures related to the investigation and filing, research and publication, preparation of protection plans, carrying out inheritance and practical activities, display and performance, publicity and popularization, and the purchase of necessary tools for inheritance and practice of representative projects. (2) Subsidies for representative inheritors, used to subsidize the expenditures of representative inheritors in carrying out apprenticeship, teaching, and exchange activities. (3) Subsidies for the construction of national-level cultural ecological protection zones, used to subsidize expenditures related to planning, research and publication, digital protection, leasing or repair of inheritance experience facilities, popularization education, and publicity and promotion of national-level cultural ecological protection zones.

(5) Subsidies for recording representative inheritors, used to subsidize the systematic recording of representative inheritors. (6) Other expenditures determined by the Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
2. Support methods: Subsidies for key projects use the project method allocation. The amount of project subsidies is determined based on the application situation of each province, the protection needs of intangible cultural heritage, the workload, project budget execution, and performance. General project subsidies use the factor method allocation. Allocation factors include the number of representative projects, the number of annual protection tasks for representative projects, the number of representative inheritors, the number of records of representative inheritors, and the number of tasks in the Training Program. Among them, the number of representative projects is determined according to the list announced by the State Council; the number of annual protection tasks for representative projects is determined according to the review of the annual budget for representative projects by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism; the number of representative inheritors is determined according to the list announced by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism; the number of records of representative inheritors and the number of tasks in the Training Program are determined according to the annual work tasks of the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. Projects listed in the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage Lists that are already included in key projects are not used as a basis for factor calculation. The allocation formula is as follows: Subsidy funds for a certain province = Number of representative inheritors × Calculated standard + Number of records of representative inheritors × Calculated standard + (Number of representative projects in the province / Total number of representative projects in all provinces × 45% + Number of annual protection tasks for representative projects in the province / Total number of annual protection tasks for representative projects in all provinces × 45% + Number of tasks in the Training Program in the province / Total number of tasks in the Training Program in all provinces × 10%) × Subsidy for representative projects and Training Program in all provinces × Performance evaluation adjustment coefficient.
The performance evaluation adjustment coefficient is as follows:

(3) Subsidies for national key museums. Used to subsidize national key museums identified by the National Cultural Heritage Administration and the Ministry of Finance to enhance expenditures on collection protection, exhibition display, academic research, talent training, exchange and cooperation, and social education.
(1) Operating expense subsidies are allocated using the factor method. The specific verification methods are as follows:
A. Basic Operating Subsidies. The allocation factor is the number of museums, memorial halls, and national patriotism education demonstration bases included in the free admission list determined by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee, the Ministry of Finance, the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the National Cultural Heritage Administration. Based on the administrative subordination, museums and memorial halls are divided into provincial-level, municipal-level, and county-level. The calculation standard for basic operating subsidies is: 5 million yuan per provincial-level museum per year, 2 million yuan per municipal-level museum per year, and 0.5 million yuan per county-level museum per year. The Ministry of Finance may dynamically adjust the standards based on factors such as the needs of career development and financial capacity. The central and local government fiscal sharing ratios are divided into five tiers by region: the central government bears 80%, 60%, 50%, 30%, and 10% for the first to fifth tiers, respectively. Among them: the first-tier regions include 12 provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, such as Inner Mongolia, Guangxi, Chongqing, Sichuan, Guizhou, Yunnan, Tibet, Shaanxi, Gansu, Qinghai, Ningxia, and Xinjiang; the second-tier regions include 10 provinces such as Hebei, Shanxi, Jilin, Heilongjiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Henan, Hubei, Hunan, and Hainan; the third-tier regions include 3 provinces such as Liaoning, Fujian, and Shandong (excluding cities specifically designated in the state plan); the fourth-tier regions include 4 provinces and municipalities directly under the central government such as Tianjin, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Guangdong, as well as 5 cities specifically designated in the state plan such as Dalian, Ningbo, Xiamen, Qingdao, and Shenzhen; the fifth-tier regions include 2 municipalities directly under the central government, Beijing and Shanghai. For regions explicitly specified by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council to enjoy western development policies, the central finance arranges subsidies at a ratio of 80%.
B. Subsidies for reduced ticket revenue. For museums listed in the central free admission list from 2008-2010, the central finance will bear the full cost of reduced ticket revenue incurred in the year due to the implementation of the central free admission policy.
(2) Operating expense subsidies are allocated and issued by the central finance based on the aforementioned factors.
The calculation and allocation formula is as follows: Subsidy amount for a certain province (region, municipality) = "Factor amount for provincial (municipal, county-level) museums in a certain province (region, municipality) imes Basic operating subsidy calculation standard" imes Central finance sharing ratio + Subsidy for reduced ticket revenue. Provincial finance departments can coordinate and arrange operating expense subsidies based on the progress of free admission work, museum evaluation and rating results, and performance evaluations provided by provincial publicity, culture and tourism, and cultural heritage authorities, to determine the specific subsidy amount for museums included in the central free admission list.
(3) Exhibition and display subsidies are allocated using the project method, determined by the Ministry of Finance based on applications from the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee and the National Cultural Heritage Administration. Museums, memorial halls, and national patriotism education demonstration bases applying for exhibition and display subsidies must have their basic exhibition and display outlines and layout drafts reviewed or filed before applying for funds.
Among these, the basic exhibition and display outlines and layout drafts for national patriotism education demonstration bases need to be reviewed and approved by the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee in conjunction with the National Cultural Heritage Administration and other relevant departments; the basic exhibition and display outlines and layout drafts for museums and memorial facilities of revolutionary historical nature need to be reviewed and approved by the local publicity departments in conjunction with cultural heritage departments and other relevant departments; for other museums and memorial halls not falling within the above scope, their basic exhibition and display outlines and layout drafts need to be filed with the local cultural heritage department. The standards for exhibition and display subsidies are as follows: generally, for exhibition areas with a floor area of 10,000 (inclusive) square meters or more, the subsidy shall not exceed 20 million yuan; for 5,000 (inclusive) to 10,000 square meters, the subsidy shall not exceed 10 million yuan; for 2,000 (inclusive) to 5,000 square meters, the subsidy shall not exceed 4 million yuan; for less than 2,000 square meters, the subsidy shall not exceed 2 million yuan. Subsidies for key exhibition and display projects identified by the CPC Central Committee and the State Council may be appropriately increased.
(4) Subsidies for national key museums are allocated using the factor method. Factors include: building area (10%), number of collections (10%), number of international cooperation projects (10%), number of exhibitions (20%), visitor numbers (20%), number of scientific research achievements (15%), and number of social education sessions (15%).
Subsidies for national key museums are adjusted based on the performance evaluation results of national key museums. The performance evaluation adjustment coefficients are as follows:
The calculation and allocation formula is as follows:
Total factors for a certain province (region, municipality) = "Factor amount for a certain province (region, municipality) / Total amount of this allocation factor nationwide imes Corresponding weight" imes Performance evaluation adjustment coefficient.
Subsidy amount for a certain province (region, municipality) = Total annual funds imes "Total factors for a certain province (region, municipality) / Total factors nationwide".
