Xi'an joins Asia-based tourism cooperation alliance

Xi'an, capital city of Northwest China's Shaanxi province, is among the first batch of Chinese cities to join the Lancang-Mekong Tourist Cities Cooperation Alliance. The announcement was made at a seminar recently held by the alliance in Nanjing, capital of East China's Jiangsu province.

The city will further develop cultural and tourism cooperation with alliance cities, establish an influential and distinctive cultural and tourism brand and provide a higher-quality tourism experience.

The Lancang-Mekong Tourist Cities Cooperation Alliance is an essential platform for China to conduct in-depth cooperation in the tourism industry with neighboring countries such as Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam, Thailand and Cambodia.

In 2020, Xi'an launched a series of 22 supporting policies to accelerate cultural tourism recovery and was among the first batch of national cultural and tourism consumption pilot cities.

Xi'an will continue to rely on its resource and location advantages to strengthen in-depth exchanges with countries in the Mekong River basin in the fields of culture and education.

The city will build a tourism resource exchange platform, facilitate transnational tourism, strengthen tourism management services and provide domestic and foreign tourists with better tourism products.
