Tourism links between China and India further strengthened

In the year 2014, China National Tourist Office (CNTO) continued its endeavour to tap the Indian market and strengthen tourism links between the two countries.

According to CNTO, the total Indian annual visits to mainland China have already surpassed the mark of 7 lakh, which is indeed a historical milestone for China Tourism. “We can feel the ever-increasing fervour of Indian nationals to explore China as a tourist destination,” said LI Qianguo, Director, China National Tourist Office, New Delhi.

In September 2014, Chinese President Xi Jinping paid a state visit to India. The national leaders of China and India have designated 2015 as the “Visit India Year” in China and 2016 as the “Visit China Year” in India. Under these initiatives, “the two sides will carry out a series of promotional activities to boost two-way tourism flows and strengthen people-to-people bonds.”

The friendly relations between countries lie in the close contact of the people. The important and fundamental work in developing the friendly cooperation in various fields including travel and tourism industry is to strengthen the understanding and friendship of the people between the two countries.
