They said the fair fully demonstrated the achievements of cultural system reform and the development of the cultural industry in Shanxi in recent years -- by focusing on the latest progress in culture and tourism integration, media integration and culture-technology integration. 

The protection, inheritance and promotion of the Yellow River culture was also highlighted through the fair's exhibition planning, major events and cultural and art performances. 

The organizers said the scale, quality and sales volumes of this year's fair had all set new records and the impact of specialization, marketization and branding had been further expanded.
