Mile Taiping Lake International Eco-Tourism Resort Promotes the “Green Is Gold” Growth Model in the United States
—
To enhance dialogue, understanding, and ties between China and the U.S., and to strengthen tourism collaboration between Yunnan Province and the U.S., a dynamic cultural exchange event titled “Yunnan: A Many-Splendored Life — Shangri-La in Focus 2024” was held in Los Angeles from September 23 to October 2, 2024. At the invitation, delegates from Mile Taiping Lake International Eco-Tourism Resort participated in the “Colorful Yunnan, Beautiful China” Cultural and Tourism Promotion on September 24. This captivating event showcased the remarkable “transformation” and “rebirth” of an once barren, stone-covered landscape. It combined engaging presentations with intimate interactions to tell the inspiring story of the resort’s pioneering green tourism initiative. The audience spoke highly of the event.
Chen Siting, the General Manager of Mile Taiping Lake International Eco-Tourism Resort, took the stage with vivid and detailed illustrations, weaving a tale of transformation on behalf of the resort. He recounted the resort's modest origins, once characterized by rugged Karst landscapes and desertification, and then highlighted its current splendor as a premier leisure destination. This transformation was achieved through dedicated efforts in ecological restoration, artistic creativity, cultural revitalization, and rural development. Chen extended a cordial invitation to American friends, encouraging them to experience the resort for themselves.
The Taiping Lake International Eco-Tourism Resort gained extensive attention at the event, sparking vibrant discussions among its representatives and guests alike. The exchanges delved deeply into strategies to fortify tourism ties and jointly propel ecotourism initiatives between China and the United States. According to Chen Siting, tourism serves as an important bridge for people-to-people exchanges and bonds between China and the United States. Yunnan, rich in cultural tourism treasures, stands as a cornerstone in fostering bilateral friendship. This promotional event created a new platform for tourism cooperation between Yunnan and the U.S. and offered new opportunities for cultural tourism enterprises from both sides to showcase their charm and seek collaboration and development. Looking ahead, the Taiping Lake International Eco-Tourism Resort remains committed to enhancing its partnerships with leading domestic and international tourism entities, jointly curating an ever-expanding portfolio of premium tourism offerings. It aims to impress each visitor and leave them with unforgettable memories through unique experiences and optimum service.
