Red tourism
Red tourism () is a subset of domestic and international tourism in current or former 'red' countries such as China and Russia in which people visit locations with historical significance to their "red" past. In China, Chinese people visit locations with historical significance to the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) "to rekindle their long-lost sense of class struggle and proletarian principles." The Chinese government began actively supporting red tourism in 2005 to promote the "national ethos" and socioeconomic development in those areas, which are typically rural and poorer than East China. The “General Plan for the Development of Red Tourism in 2004-2010” (2004－2010年全国红色旅游发展规划纲要) was issued by the General Office of the Chinese Communist Party and the General Office of the State Council, it established the first batch of 100 so-called "red tourism classic scenic spots (红色旅游经典景区)". In July 2010, officials representing 13 Chinese cities signed a "China Red Tourism Cities Strategic Cooperation Yan'an Declaration" to develop red tourism; the cities are: Guang'an, Yan'an, Xiangtan, Jinggangshan, Ruijin, Zunyi, Baise, Shijiazhuang, Linyi, Anyang, Yulin, Qingyang, and Huining. In the CCP's view, red tourism strengthens revolutionary traditions, enhances patriotism, and promotes a unique national spirit. A Chinese official said, "This is a major project that benefits both the Party, the nation and the people, either in the economic, cultural and the political sense." Locations

Impact 
According to academics Christopher Marquis and Kunyuan Qiao, red tourism in China has a significant impact in intergenerational transmission of Mao Zedong's political theory. Through multilateral marketing and massive consumption, red tourism helps to enhance Chinese regime's political legitimacy. It 'softly' improves Chinese state's image without eliciting social resistance. Criticism
Aging original members of the Red Army criticize the "Disneyfication" of what should be solemn war memorials. Outside China 
Other former Communist countries can have red tourism, such as the Czech Republic, previously part of Czechoslovakia and ruled by the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia. Recently, Russian researchers started to focus on the studying of the trend of Russian-Chinese tourism’ development. In North Korea, Revolutionary Sites are a part of red tourism in the country.
