The executive meeting held by the People's Government of Tibet Autonomous Region (TAR) deliberated on the Suggestions of the People's Government of TAR on Implementation of Accelerating the Development of Sports Industry to Promote Sports Consumption, which clearly puts forward the proposal of building the Himalayan Mountaineering Culture Center.

According to the Suggestions, Tibet should adhere to the concept of ecological civilization and take the opportunities of the “One Belt One Road” strategy and the goal of building Tibet into a major world tourist destination to develop characteristic sports resources and form a sports industry service system so as to enrich the market supply and promote sports consumption. Efforts should be made to build Himalayan Mountaineering Culture Center and a major outdoor sports region in the whole country and develop characteristic sports industry of the plateau to continually meet the people's growing demand for sports and cultivate the sports industry into a new engine of economic growth.

The Suggestions also bring forward that by 2025, Tibet will basically establish a sports industry system with salient features, prominent advantages and good benefits and a sports market typical of orderly competition, effective supervision and active consumption as well as three or four sports industry bases, and cultivate a number of sports enterprises to constantly enhance the endogenous power for the development of the sports industry and obviously strengthen the role of the sports industry in driving other industries. The added value of the sports industry is expected to account for over one percent of the GDP of TAR, making the sports industry a dynamic emerging industry in Tibet
