'Xinjiang Is a Good Place' Tourism Promotion Reaches Madrid With Ambassador Yao Jing
The "Xinjiang Is a Good Place" overseas promotion of Xinjiang's culture and tourism was held on October 28 at the China Cultural Center in Madrid, Spain, with Chinese Ambassador to Spain Yao Jing attending and speaking. The event was organised by the Xinjiang culture and tourism department, the China cultural and tourism exchange centre, the China Cultural Center in Madrid and China's tourism office in Madrid, with the support of the Chinese Embassy in Spain.
Dilior Khakimov, a director at UN Tourism responsible for institutional relations, partnerships and policy advocacy, the head of China's Lisbon tourism office, Susan Muñoz, vice-president of the Fundación Conoce China, and representatives of the Chinese and Spanish travel trades attended, along with more than 100 members of the Spanish public.
Yao Jing said Xinjiang stands at a crossroads of the ancient Silk Road, with a long history and culture, unique natural scenery, a stable and harmonious society and warm, hospitable people, and that its tourism industry is developing rapidly. He welcomed more Spanish friends to visit Xinjiang and China and experience the country's openness and Xinjiang's dynamism for themselves.
The event featured an "Images of Xinjiang" photography exhibition, a display of intangible-heritage creative gifts, a Xinjiang tourism presentation and performances of traditional Xinjiang song and dance. Guests said Xinjiang's majestic landscapes and diverse cultures had left a deep impression and that they hoped to visit in person.
