Vice Chairman Du pointed out that it’s of special significance for CNTA to designate the year of 2015 as the Year of Silk Road Tourism. The campaign is a major step taken by the tourism industry to implement the “One Belt, One Road” strategy, presents golden opportunities to promote the integrated tourism development along the Silk Road in China, and is a major means to deepen tourism cooperation between countries along the Silk Road and to promote inbound tourism. The tourism industry, open and comprehensive, boasts unique first-mover edges in the “One Belt, One Road” national strategy and should take the initiative to “be the first mover in connecting with other countries.” The ancient Silk Road spanned across Asia and Europe, played an irreplaceable role in bridging eastern and western culture and promoting commercial and trade contacts, and left us world renowned ever-popular tourist routes; now, the strategic vision to construct “One Belt, One Road” presents precious historical opportunities for tourism development in countries and regions along the Silk Road. Tourism conveys peace and friendship and boosts development as the ancient Silk Road did. Let’s join hands, make innovative explorations, provide more diversified products and better services to tourists at home and abroad and contribute more to the new development of the ancient Silk Road.
