2020 ASEAN (Guiyang one belt, one road) Cultural Tourism Exchange Week opens

The theme of "one belt, one road" and the "Cultural Exchange Week" of ASEAN (Guiyang) in Guiyang on 2020, opened in 17 days in Guiyang, aimed at deepening the cooperation between ASEAN and ASEAN countries, relying on big data science and technology, and building a win-win platform for "digital silk road" cultural tourism.

Since 2018, the exchange week has been successfully held for three times, becoming another important open platform for deepening exchanges and cooperation between Guiyang city and ASEAN countries, following the Guiyang International Forum on ecological civilization and China international big data industry expo.

In 2019, the number of visitors from ASEAN countries to Guiyang in the 2019 increased by 49.9% over the same period last year.

China and ASEAN are comprehensive strategic cooperative partnership. In the first eight months of 2020, the total import and export volume of goods trade between China and ASEAN reached 2.93 trillion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 7%. Chen Dehai, Secretary General of the China ASEAN center, said that the theme of this exchange week is to deepen digital connectivity and build an ideal future, which meets the needs of bilateral cooperation. In recent years, Guiyang city has initially built a relatively complete big data chain. With the help of the exchange week platform, the two sides will expand the cooperation platform through the combination of online and offline forums and exhibitions, and improve the cooperation results.

Since 2020, novel coronavirus pneumonia has affected the global tourism industry. The exchange week also expects all parties to have in-depth exchanges, identify opportunities for cooperation, broaden cooperation areas and jointly promote economic recovery.

Raj Datuk nusirwan, Malaysian ambassador to China, said that Malaysia's tourism industry has been hit hard by the epidemic, and the hotel occupancy rate in March 2020 was only 6%.
