The scale of mountain glacier resources are momentous, the appearance of each of them differs, and they have an absolute monopoly position in the domestic tourism market. However, tourism development of mountain glacier resources is relatively slow, glacier destinations are few, and glacier tourism is not very consistent with abundant glacier resources and has a big gap with overseas glacier tourism development. The attraction of glacier resources is not determined by a single unit of glacier tourism resources, but relies often on the combination characteristics of glacier tourism resources and the surrounding landscapes. In view of these factors, we need to change the single development model of glacier tourism resources in the past to the group development model with glaciers, snow-capped mountains, forests, meadows, lakes, canyons and national culture landscapes at present. Through the group development model, we will expand glacier tourism type and content, extend mountain tourism industrial chain, and enhance the brand value of glacier tourism products in glacier areas in order to provide theoretical and practical support for glacier resource advantages changing to economic advantages in western China. Along with the gradual implementation of the double-track project of the Qinghai-Tibet railway, the planning and design of Sichuan-Tibet and Yunnan-Tibet railways, and the western transport and infrastructure will be further improved and enhanced in the future. In addition, taking the opportunities of implementing inter-provincial or inter-regional cooperation projects (e.g.Silk Road tourist belt, Qinghai-Tibet Rail tourist belt, and Shangri-la ecotourism zone) with rich and unique glacier tourism resources, China will have strong appeal for attracting domestic and foreign tourists to visit, experience and explore.
