From the perspective of tourism, Hot Air Balloon Ride can be included in general aviation tourism projects. In recent years, with the gradual relaxation of China's national aviation policy and the gradual opening of low-altitude airspace, China's general aviation tourism is booming. General aviation tourism refers to people in low-altitude airspace, relying on general aviation transportation, general aircraft and low-altitude aircraft, such as helicopters, delta wings, paragliders, hot air balloons and other general aviation aircraft to conduct tourism, entertainment and sports and other flight experience activities. Among the many general aviation tourism programs, the Hot Air Balloon Ride is currently the most common and relatively affordable flying experience. For example, the Wanfenglin hot air balloon aviation camp in Xingyi, Guizhou, China is the country's first hot air balloon aviation camp. The camp makes full use of the airspace resources of Xingyi City, Guizhou Province, and coordinates the planning of low-altitude visual flight routes between the aviation flight camps to meet the needs of aviation sports competitions, sports flight training, and flight experience leisure and entertainment.

With the gradual opening of China's domestic low-altitude areas, Hot Air Balloon Ride is currently being opened in more and more tourist attractions in China. At present, compared with other regions such as Europe and the United States, China's Hot Air Balloon Ride market is relatively small. However, with the opening of the low-altitude field and the development of general aviation tourism, China's Hot Air Balloon Ride market has great potential for development. In general, the development of general aviation tourism in China is one of the driving forces driving the development of the industry.
