The Northern Inner Mongolia autonomous region recently signed a series of tourism deals at a tourism promotion event in Beijing.

The deals cover scenic spots, culture and tourism exhibitions, and intangible culture heritage development and are worth 6.3 billion yuan ($912.2 million). And they cover Hohhot, Baotou, Hinggan League, Chifeng, Ulanqab and Erdos.

The cooperation is part of efforts to boost culture and tourism exchanges between Beijing and Inner Mongolia and improve economic conditions in the autonomous region.

Beijing and Inner Mongolia signed a three-year poverty alleviation framework agreement last year, and the capital will help the autonomous region to publicize its culture and tourism resources, train tourism personnel, launch tourism trains and plan tourism projects.

The autonomous region has also brought in more than 120 tourism projects worth 95.01 billion yuan for investment to encourage business investment from the capital at the June event.
