2020年非同寻常，新冠肺炎疫情对各国生产生活秩序造成了严重冲击和影响，旅游业首当其冲。面对新挑战，全球旅游业界团结协作，努力探索旅游业复苏发展之道，成效显著。新形势下，各界人士齐聚贵阳，围绕山地旅游疫后重塑的思路、目标和途径，凝聚各方智慧和行业力量，同心助力疫后旅游复苏与振兴，很有意义。
各位嘉宾，中国和东盟山水相连，是好邻居、好朋友、好伙伴，我们也是好亲戚，自1991年建立对话关系以来，双方各领域合作成果丰硕，人文交流成为中国东盟关系的第三支柱。中国与东盟互为彼此最大贸易伙伴，重要旅游客源国和目的地。2019年双方人员往来突破6500万人次大关。面对疫情，中国和东盟国家携手合作、共克时艰，在全球疫情防控和经济社会复苏方面走在了前列。
贵州省旅游资源得天独厚，与东盟国家在文化、旅游、教育、科技等领域的交流合作成果日益深化。历年在这里举办的中国—东盟（贵阳）“一带一路”文化旅游交流周、中国—东盟教育交流周等已成为中国与东盟开展合作的重要平台。期待通过此次年会，特别是中国东盟中心与国际山地旅游联盟签署合作备忘录，为中国与东盟国家山地旅游可持续发展注入新动力，带来新机遇。
各位嘉宾，中国—东盟中心是中国政府和东盟十国政府共同成立的政府间国际组织。自成立以来，中心致力于落实双方领导人所达成的重要共识，推动双方在贸易、投资、教育、文化、旅游、新闻媒体等领域的务实合作。中心愿与国际山地旅游联盟合作伙伴一道发展旅游，中心也将继续关注贵州、宣传贵州、支持贵州，为推动贵州省与东盟十国友好交流与务实合作，牵针引线，铺路搭桥。

Distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen,
Good morning!
In this lovely season tinted with deep autumn hues, it gives me great pleasure to attend the 2020 International Mountain Tourism Alliance Annual Conference in Guiyang. On behalf of ASEAN-China Centre (ACC), the supporter of the event, I would like to extend my congratulations on the opening of the annual conference. I also wish to express my sincere gratitude to all relevant partners, and my heartfelt welcome to all the guests and friends present here.
The year 2020 is very different for all of us. COVID-19 has inflicted severe impacts to our life and work, and the tourism industry is bearing the brunt of such an unprecedented pandemic. Facing the new challenges, the global tourism sector has made concerted efforts to explore ways to revitalize and develop tourism, and has achieved initial outcomes. Under the new scenario, we gather here in Guiyang, put forward constructive ideas on mountain tourism, share valuable experiences and work together to promote the recovery and revitalization of the tourism industry. All these have made today’s event all the more relevant and significant.
Dear friends, ladies and gentlemen,
ASEAN and China are good neighbors, good friends and good partners, linked by mountains and rivers. Ever since the launch of ASEAN-China dialogue relations in 1991, the two sides have reaped rich fruits in practical cooperation across the board, and people-to-people exchanges have grown to be the third pillar of ASEAN-China relations. ASEAN and China are each other’s largest trading partner, important source of inbound tourists and travel destination. In 2019, the mutual visits exceeded 65 million in total. ASEAN and China have joined hands in battling COVID-19 and secured an early victory.
It is well-known that Guizhou abounds with unique mountain tourism resources. The exchanges and cooperation between Guizhou and ASEAN in the areas of culture, tourism, education, science and technology have yielded fruitful results. ASEAN-China (Guiyang) Belt and Road Culture and Tourism Exchange Week, ASEAN-China Education Exchange Week held in Guizhou have become important platforms for cooperation among China and ASEAN and other countries and regions along the Belt and Road. I’m confident that by attending the conference, especially by signing of the MOU between ACC and IMTA, the mountain tourism industry of ASEAN Member States and China will be injected with new energy and vitality, and the tourism cooperation between ASEAN and China will be upgraded to a new level.
Dear colleagues, ladies and gentlemen,
As an inter-governmental organization co-founded by 10 ASEAN Member States and China, since its establishment in 2011, ACC has committed itself to implementing the important consensus reached by the leaders of ASEAN and China, and to promoting the practical cooperation between both sides in trade, investment, education, culture, tourism as well as information and media. Facing new conditions and challenges, ACC will join hands with all parties to create opportunities through exchanges, tackle difficult problems through cooperation, and foster a brighter future for humanity.
In conclusion, I wish a full success for the 2020 IMTA Annul Conference, and wish everyone a pleasant stay in Guiyang!
Thank you!
