2016 China-ASEAN Expo Tourism Exihibition was hold on Oct. 20-22 in Guilin. ASEAN is the abbreviation of Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

The most impression was the ways Thailand and Cambodia promoted their countries' tourism industry.

The staff in Thailand tourism booths was friendly and making some tasty local snacks, flower arrangement, embroidery vividly on the site, which attracted a lof crowded viewers.

They even decorated one booth into SPA room with Thai style, where any visitor could enjoyed the typical spa experience.

Cambodia brought its fantastic cultural performance into the stage warmly welcomed by crowded visitors.

Some domestic cities started to promote their culture and typical tourism products through alive performance.

Chinese Panda is always well-known and welcomed by foreign and domestic visitors.

The model of Elephant Hill was designed and made by one local Guilin hotel.

I paid a visit to China Highlights International Travel Company to discuss how to enhance cooperation.

A lot of interesting or meaningful stories are hung on the front wall when I entered into the company.  I read some touched stories, which were produced when their staff received international tourists.

The main gate was decorated with Chinese traditional cultural elements, which looked like a tradtional Chinese family.

Mr Zhao is CEO of Guilin Highlights Travel Company.

He was so kind that he summoned around 20 colleagues quickly to attend a short Suzhou promotion presented by me.

The grand opening ceremony of the forum themed as Innovative Development and Tourism Integration sponsored by CNTA, PATA, Guilin Government.

A lot of distinguished guests were also invited to participate the gala event.

We can't go abroad more than two times in five years, but we still have much more chance to develop Suzhou international tourism if we seize each international promotion platform provided by other cities. What's more, some domestic travel companies start to build up inbound tourism business. I believe it can also work well if we find more efficient strategy to cooperate with them.
