焦作市位于河南省西北部，也称“山阳”。北依太行与山西省接壤，南临黄河与郑州、洛阳相望。面积4071平方公里，总人口345.5万，其中市区人口80.7万,城镇人口133.1万。焦作有着优越的区位优势。它地处我国南北交汇点，东西结合部，具有承东启西、沟南通北的枢纽地位。
焦作有着丰富的矿产资源，一是水资源充沛。焦作是华北地区不可多得的富水区，境内河流众多，流域面积在100平方公里以上的河流就有23条。二是矿藏十分丰富。有矿产资源40多种，其中煤田可开采储量6亿吨。起初焦作的发展更多的是靠煤炭采掘带动的，在后期，由于煤炭资源的日益枯竭，焦作开始探索新的发展之路，并且成功转型为中国优秀旅游城市。
焦作拥有丰富的旅游资源。现已开发建成云台山国家级风景区，青天河、神农山、青龙峡省级风景区和峰林峡、青龙峡、月山寺市级风景名胜区，以及中央电视台焦作影视城、龙源湖乐园等现代休闲娱乐场所。由云台山、青龙峡、峰林峡、神农山、青天河五大园区组成的云台山世界地质公园，是联合国教科文组织确定的世界首批28个世界地质公园之一。
所以我认为，在新时代，新背景，新挑战的影响下，焦作更应该加大第三产业投入，充分利用自己的旅游资源，坚持走旅游带动经济的新路子，定能为焦作的飞速发展带来新的契机与动力！
