Changchun aims to become China's next big sports tourism destination
KUALA LUMPUR, May 28 (Bernama) -- More than 30,000 marathoners and sports fans gathered in Changchun, capital of Jilin Province, to participate in an international marathon race on May 27.
The combination of the event and tourism industry has injected vitality into the city's ambition to become a major sports tourism destination in China, according to the Changchun Sports Bureau.
Located in northeast China, Changchun boasts rich ice and snow resources and pleasant climate. It is also one of two Chinese cities which are home to gold medallists of both Summer and Winter Olympics.
The city's sports administration has explored various ways to encourage its citizens to participate in sports, which have yielded good results.
Changchun has the country's oldest bases for automobile industry and film production, and is the cradle of industries such as railway vehicles and photoelectric technology, among others.
Thanks to its geographic advantage as the centre of Northeast Asia, the city government is aiming to make tourism its pillar industry for development, having elevated sports as a top priority, which has in turn, been recognised by the World Health Organisation.
While the government has reserved large tracts of land for sports facilities, citizens can book sports venues and find gym mates online.
Changchun has hosted the international cross-country ski festival, Vasaloppet China, for 17 consecutive years.

BEST'S MARKET SEGMENT REPORT OUTLOOK: AM BEST MAINTAINS NEGATIVE OUTLOOK ON INDIA NON-LIFE INSURANCE MARKET
SINGAPORE, May 29 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- AM Best is maintaining a negative market segment outlook on India’s non-life insurance market, supported by key factors that include continued reliance on realized and unrealized investments gains to offset technical losses, potential short-term disruption from regulatory enhancements and persistently competitive and underperforming core business lines of motor and agriculture.
As detailed in a new Best’s Market Segment Report, titled “Market Segment Outlook: India Non-Life Insurance,” India’s non-life insurers have been one of the main beneficiaries of the country’s fast-growing economy, and the industry has seen a substantial increase in insurable risks, largely driven by compulsory agriculture insurance. However, heavy competition and cumbersome regulatory hurdles for product development hinder technical performance, with most companies relying on strong investment income derived from the exceptional performance of Indian equities, which have shown sustained outperformance relative to global indices. The market’s combined ratios has fluctuated between 110 and 125 over the past five years, and most insurers have become dependent on investment income to generate profitability. The sustainability of such earnings may put the long-term viability of many insurers into question.
Motor insurance, which consists of own damage and third-party liability (TPL), continues to dominate the non-life insurance market, generating about 40% of premium volumes. Market results indicate that the segment’s incurred loss ratio has improved over time. However, the size of the reserves for this line relative to capital remains very significant. Although insurers have strengthened reserves in recent years, concerns about the prudency and potential for tail development remain, given that some claims may get caught up in India’s slow-moving court system. Unfavorable reserve adjustments have the potential to significantly impact current performance and capital even more so, given the lack of profitability in many other lines.
A mandatory crop insurance scheme, launched in 2016 to provide insurance coverage to farmers, has provide a premium boost to non-life insurers, catapulting agriculture premiums to INR20.6 billion in fiscal-year 2017 from INR5.3 billion in fiscal-year 2016. However, the scheme recently has come under criticism due to volatile loss ratios given the wide variances between the country’s two main cropping seasons, as well as reported numerous delays on claims settlements.
Despite the negative outlook, AM Best recognizes that some non-life insurers still may experience growth. The profitability and capital strength of companies that demonstrate sound risk management practices and disciplined underwriting likely are to improve steadily.
