On April 23, 2014, Shao Qiwei, Chairman of National Tourism Administration of China (NTAC), met in Sanya with Micheal Frenzel and David Scowsill, respectively Chairman and President of the World Travel & Tourism Council (WTTC) who came for 2014 World Tourism and Travel Conference.
Shao Qiewei said, in recent years, the Chinese tourism community and the WTTC have established sound partnerships. Succeeding to the 10th World Tourism and Travel Conference successfully held in Beijing in May 2010, the conference again lands in China, which fully reflects the WTTC puts a premium on the Chinese market and renders ready support for the Chinese tourism industry. At present Chinese tourism is in rapid development, as evidenced by the fast growth in the Chinese outbound and domestic travel. With the implementation of the tourism law and relevant polices on paid leave, the Chinese tourism market is expected to see further growth. The Chinese government won’t change the policy on Chinese citizen traveling abroad, and is ready to continue to push ahead the tourism cooperation with other countries in the word.
Frenzel thought highly of China’s economy and the development of Chinese tourism. He noted that the Chinese tourism industry and in particular Chinese travel market is undergoing fast development, which has aroused extensive attention in the world. The influence of Chinese tourism development on the world tourism is worth our deliberation and research. The WTTC is willing to reinforce its cooperation with the Chinese government tourism departments at various levels and tourism enterprises, so as to promote the tourism development across the world.
