This captivating book delves into the highly lucrative "Red Tourism" industry in China, where visitors embark on pilgrimages to sites of profound historical significance to the Communist Party of China and the Chinese Revolution. By examining the intricate interplay between the state and the private sector, the book explores the evolving communication dynamics within the socialist past and the current wave of capitalization within the world's second-largest economy. Through a fresh perspective, the book challenges the conventional notion of propaganda by re-evaluating it through the lens of neutral "xuanchuan propaganda."

It provides a comprehensive exploration of the multifaceted aspects of Red Tourism, shedding light on its historical, social, and economic implications. By delving into the experiences of tourists, tour operators, and local communities, the book offers a nuanced understanding of the complex dynamics that shape this thriving industry.
