Accelerating the recovery of inbound tourism in Chongqing is a key task for tourism development in 2024， as it plays a significant role in building the city into a world-renowned tourist destination and an international consumption city. From February 25 to March 1， Taiwans inaugural travel business delegation to the Chinese mainland for 2024 visited Chongqing， including nearly 50 travel agencies with 66 representatives from Taiwan， China. They made field visits to Dazu， Wulong， Youyang， Nanchuan， and the Chongqing city proper， and engaged in business discussions and networking with representatives from around 60 Chongqing tourism companies.

Chongqings Unique Tourism Resources Surprising the Delegation

During the visit， the delegation members were surprised by Chongqings stunning natural landscapes and rich folk cultures： They immersed themselves in the exquisite artistry and broad cultural legacies of the World Cultural Heritage， Dazu Rock Carvings. They climbed the Wulong Fairy Mountain， which was covered with snow and looked like a fairy tale world. They enjoyed the paradise-like scenery of Youyang Taohuayuan and the unique long table feast in Gongtan Ancient Town. They went to Jinfo Mountain in Nanchuan which boasted both beautiful natural scenery and profound culture.

“This field visit provided me with a chance to experience a different side of Chongqing！” “Im eagerly looking forward to recommending Chongqing to more friends and clients”... Taiwan travel businesses remarked that Chongqing was rich in unique tourism resources and they would explore new tourism routes and continue to promote Chongqings tourism resources after returning to Taiwan so that more Taiwan tourists can appreciate the charm of the citys beautiful scenery.

The Window for International Exchanges of Chongqing Culture & Tourism has made careful preparations for nearly three months to ensure the success of this trip.

Over 100 Chongqing and Taiwan Tourism Companies Engaging in One-to-One Business Discussions

The “Nihao！ Chongqing” Taiwan Travel Business Roadshow and B2B Meeting took place on March 1 at the Window of International Exchanges of Chongqing Culture & Tourism. A total of 66 representatives from Taiwan travel businesses and nearly 60 representatives from local Chongqing tourism companies gathered together for “one-to-one” business discussions. This event built a platform for exchanges and transactions to take the initiative to serve the market entities of inbound tourism， supporting Chongqing in the development and expansion of the inbound tourism market.

The meeting covered many sessions such as the promotion of Chongqings cultural tourism resources， the release of incentive policies on inbound tourism marketing， explanations of relevant policies for Taiwan tourists entering Chongqing， and a B2B session between Chongqing and Taiwan tourism companies. It deepened Taiwan travel businesses understanding of Chongqings culture and tourism， strengthening the ties between Taiwan and Chongqing and boosting the confidence in tourism market cooperation.

Xiao Boren， Chairman of the Taiwan Travel Business Association， stated that Chongqing boasted rich and unique culture and tourism resources， which made tourists surprised and impressed. He considered this event as a bridge for tourism sector cooperation and development between Chongqing and Taiwan. According to the Chairman， the next steps would be focused on promoting Chongqings tourism offerings in Taiwan to attract more Taiwan tourists to the city.

Wang Yi， the representative of Chongqing Yangtze Gold Cruises Co. Ltd.， said that the event with a prominent theme achieved great success， providing an excellent platform for companies to expand into the inbound tourism market. Thus， he hoped for more opportunities to participate in such high-quality exchange activities in the future.

The journalist was informed that a total of nine batches of travel businesses with 300 people from Taiwan， China and countries like Singapore， Viet Nam， and Thailand have made field visits to Chongqing since the Chongqing International Travel Business Conference held in November last year. This has laid a good foundation for the recovery in inbound tourism this year. The “Nihao！ Chongqing” event for field visits of travel agencies has been highly recognized by the participants for its high quality.

In the next step， the Window for International Exchanges of Chongqing Culture & Tourism （WICT） will be positioned as a “municipal-level international platform for exchange and cooperation in cultural tourism.” It will be committed to facilitating the development of inbound tourism， improving the international development of cultural tourism in districts and counties， and continuously enhancing the international visibility， reputation and influence of Chongqing cultural tourism.

Supported and guided by the Chongqing Municipal Commission of Culture and Tourism Development， this event was strongly supported by the Exit-Entry Administration Division of Chongqing Public Security Bureau， Chongqing Cross-Strait Exchange Association， Chongqing International Cultural Exchange Center， and Chongqing Culture and Tourism Association.
