It aims to boost tourism trade and enable a balanced and healthy tourism industry in the capital.
"Beijing has profound history and culture resources, and outstanding scientific innovation abilities, which gives it an edge in developing tourism commodities," said Song Yu, director of the Beijing tourism commission.
A tourism commodity design competition will also be held to encourage innovation.
