The red resources in ethnic areas are abundant；the ethnic culture is rich；the ecological environment is beautiful；the conditions for mountain and water recuperation are excellent；the development of red tourism has distinct and distinctive superiority. Red tourism is of great practical significance in strengthening the national sense of national identity，protecting the historical and cultural heritage of the revolution，promoting the integration and symbiosis of ethnic cultural tourism resources，and promoting the coordinated development of economy and society in ethnic areas. Combined with the development of red tourism in ethnic minority areas，this report puts forward three principles of taking the “red and green” culture as the core，casting a solid mass foundation，and adhering to scientific planning. Taking zhaxi Red Town，Weixin County，Yunnan province as an example，it is shown that the management mechanism and departments are not perfect；the system planning and development are not in-depth；the comprehensive supporting service facilities are not perfect；the ability to attract investment is insufficient；the brand building ability is weak；accurate counterpart talents are lack. So，releasing the national policy dividend，improving public services，exploring deep red culture，establishing inter-regional cooperation mechanisms，innovative investment and financing mode，strengthening the brand building，attaching great importance to the red，professional personnel training，strengthening the cultural creative industries grow，optimization of online platform construction are keys for the red tourism in national regions to achieve high quality development.
