China should continue to upgrade the country's toilets as part of its "toilet revolution" aimed at developing domestic tourism and improving people's quality of life, President Xi Jinping said.

The construction of clean toilets is an important part of pushing urban and rural civilization, and more effort should be made in cities and rural areas to upgrade toilets, Xi said in a recent instruction on the achievements of the toilet revolution in the tourism sector.

Along with the move, China should construct better public facilities and services to boost the tourism industry, Xi said.
