Over 150 Companies To Gather At Culture And Tourism Conference In Wuzhou

KUALA LUMPUR, Nov 8 (Bernama) -- The 2024 Guangxi Culture and Tourism Development Conference will be held by Wuzhou Municipal Bureau of Culture and Tourism in Wuzhou for three days beginning Nov 12.

Themed "Promoting Wuzhou as a Historic Lingnan Cultural City and Accelerating Guangxi's Development as a Leading Culture and Tourism Hub", the conference will feature a "1+6+5" series consisting of one main conference, six supporting conference activities, as well as five ongoing cultural, tourism and sports events.

According to a statement, the conference will bring together over 150 domestic and international companies, aiming to attract more high-quality culture and tourism projects to Guangxi.

Located close to the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Wuzhou is a birthplace of both Lingnan and Cantonese cultures and the host city is actively advancing three tourism economic belts, positioning itself as a hub to expand these initiatives throughout Guangxi.

With its long history, Wuzhou is a city deeply ingrained in tea culture, in which the Liubao tea, one of China's famous black teas, was produced here. It has propelled Wuzhou's cultural and tourism industry to a new level.

In addition, Liubao tea culture tourism has become a hotspot, attracting a large number of visitors who come to Cangwu County's Liubao Town, the origin of Liubao tea, to explore the ancient tea trade routes and trace the development history of Liubao tea.
