The latest statistics show that the operating income of over 3,800 SIP-based cultural enterprises totaled upwards of RMB 68.8 billion last year, and the added value of cultural industry accounted for 6.7% of local GDP. This manifests a prosperous development of SIP's cultural industry, which, to a large extent, should be attributed to SIP's consistent efforts to push for an integrated development of culture, sports and tourism industries.

Under the integrated development strategy, SIP operationalized last year a list of cultural, sports and tourist facilities such as Suzhou Olympic Sports Centre, public stages and community-based cultural service centers. Besides, it offered potent support to Suzhou Symphony Orchestra, Suzhou Ballet Theatre and other local art troupes in their development home and abroad, and opened SIP Public Culture Center to help local libraries, cultural centers and art galleries improve their services.
