The 2019 U.S.-China Cultural Tourism Festival started on Friday in Las Vegas, aiming to increase cultural and tourism exchanges between the two countries.
The three-day festival has various themes, including Chinese and American tourist cities, scenic spots, world heritage and intangible cultural heritage.
The festival has attracted 145 exhibitors from Chinese and American cultural, tourism and handicraft industries, with 65 of them coming from China, according to Las Vegas Committee of Enterprise and Commerce United, the organizer of the event.
“Tourism and travel is the vehicle served to promote the cultural exchanges among different countries,” said Chinese Consul General in San Francisco Wang Donghua at the opening ceremony.
“Strengthening the cooperation in the fields of culture and tourism is very important for deepening the mutual understanding, trust and further expanding China-U.S. exchanges and cooperation,” he added.
Richard Cherchio, a councilman in the City of North Las Vegas, said that he expected the event would “draw the two cultures closer together, so we can complement one another and learn from each other.”
