During the meeting, Ms. Pansy Ho, Standing Committee member of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and our Group Executive Chairman and Managing Director, was invited to deliver a speech as the representative of CTIC of CCOIC’s Vice Chairman. She said that as an international and open industry, the cultural tourism industry is not only a breakthrough for economic transformation but also plays a very important role in shaping the country’s political, economic, service trade, and cultural tension and soft power with its good attributes of non-governmental public diplomacy. Cultural tourism enterprises also play a vital role in displaying China’s image, interpreting the Chinese dream, and promoting mutual learning among civilizations.
