CHANGSHA, China, Nov. 24, 2022 /Xinhua=KYODO JBN/--

On November 22 to 24, the first Changsha Tourism Development Conference is held

in the Wangcheng district of Changsha. The event mainly compasses four main

activities including the forum for investment promotion and integrated

development of culture and tourism for the cultural and tourism industries of

Changsha, project reviews, tourism industry promotion conferences, and cultural

tourism promotions as well as nine supplementary activities. These resourceful

activities will be carried out on-line and off-line and are expected to attract

attention.

As a highly popular destination having gained influence on social media in

recent years, Changsha, with its rich cultural legacy, is riding the wave by

deeply tapping into its enriched tourism resources, according to the Publicity

Department of Changsha City. The city has made great progress in building

itself as a comprehensive transportation hub within the country and has kept

drawing in high-quality cultural and creativity resources from home and abroad,

showing such aspirations to create a cultural industrial cluster that will have

international influence, establish a national cultural export base, and to set

a new example for foreign cultural trade.

Before the conference, the slogan "Merry Life in Changsha, Start City Shinning

Bright" and the newly designed logo for publicizing the city's cultural tourism

were released. The slogan has connoted a particular idea of "merriness", the

curiosity about "shining bright", and the love for the "star city" in the new

era, with a new look.

The conference will be in full swing to attract foreign businesses, bring in

investment, and ripen projects. During the forum for investment promotion and

integrated development of culture and tourism for these two industries,

contracts of 15 major projects (including those with intention) with a total

value of 26.066 billion yuan will be signed.

With the support of Mr. Shan Jixiang, chairman of China Cultural Relics

Academy, Mr. Wang Han, the famous Hunan TV program host, and Ms. Zuo Xiaoqing,

the well-known actress, all of whom are new ambassadors for cultural tourism of

Changsha, the whole city will be mobilized to enlarge the popularity of

Changsha as a great tourist destination, forming a synergy of efforts to

promote tourism by everyone in the city and giving a lively social atmosphere.
