Representatives of the Belarusian tourism industry took part in an information tour of the Chinese Province of Henan at the end of November, BelTA learned from the National Tourism Agency.
The delegation included representatives of the tour operators authorized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of the People's Republic of China to receive groups of Chinese tourists, the National Tourism Agency and the Chinese Cultural Center in Minsk.
The tour participants visited the key cities of the province: the capital Zhengzhou, historical Kaifeng and Luoyang, the legendary Shaolin Monastery. Meetings were held with local tourism authorities and tour operators in the format of workshops (business matchmaking events).
"The main topic of discussion was the prospects for the exchange of tourist groups between Belarus and Henan using convenient Minsk-Urumqi-Minsk flight by the Belavia airline," the National Tourism Agency said, adding that an extensive network of domestic flights opens up wide opportunities for travel throughout China.
In addition to the Belarusian delegation, representatives of travel companies from Australia, Mexico, the Republic of Korea, France, India, Pakistan, Hong Kong and Macau took part in the information tour. The event was organized by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of China.
The National Tourism Agency noted that the information tour is an important step in the development of tourism cooperation between Belarus and China. It opens up new horizons for attracting Chinese tourists and strengthening international ties in the field of tourism.
