On March 8, China Southern together with the Consulate General of Ecuador in Guangzhou launched the “An Ecuadorian Rose for a Woman who Dreams High” celebration ceremony at Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport. Thousands of premium roses were presented to women passengers fl ying with China Southern from Guangzhou to Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Chengdu, and other destinations on over 30 fl ights that day.

There were many reasons why the Ecuadorian Consulate General had selected China Southern as its partner of this event. Most importantly, Ambassador Borja said, China Southern was one of the top operators in Asia. Moreover, Canton, as the location of China Southern's headquarters and an indispensable linkage between Ecuador and China, was an important stop for promoting cultural exchange and tourism. “Most of the Sino-Ecuadorians have Cantonese origins,” said Ambassador Mr. Borja,“and Cantonese restaurants outnumbered all other Chinese restaurants combined.” At the ceremony, Ambassador Mr. Borja also brought great news to Chinese visitors: from March 1st, 2016 Chinese visitors were allowed to enter Ecuador tourism visa-free and stay for up to 90 days annually. Chinese travellers can now freely enjoy Ecuador's beautiful natural scenery, such as Galapagos,Coast,Highlands and Amazon, as well as the unique Ecuadorian culture.

China Southern's women passengers were given the opportunity to taste the fruit of Ecuador's plantation industry. Being the nation with the closest distance to the sun, Ecuador proudly plants world-class roses which won international recognition. Mrs. Zeng, a fl ower lover, delivered professional comments, “Beautiful roses of a special specie!” Mrs. Li, a business class passenger was thrilled to receive such a sweet gift, “This is the fi rst time I've received roses for taking a fl ight. They are so beautiful!”

Currently ,China Southern is cooperating with the Sky Team member KLM and others,China Southern passengers can visit Ecuador by transferring in Europe.
