Beijing summit attracts key leisure-travel players

Through three travel summits and "many other actions and services", the organization has "almost fulfilled its mission", Song said.

He added that after people know more about a particular city, they will see its individual charm and want to travel there.

"The federation is also sending Chinese tourists' travel patterns, cultural and other needs to its member cities and regions so that they can be fully prepared and know how to provide the best service to Chinese."

The tourism summit plays a significant role in promoting the federation and its members.

The theme this year is "Market and Cooperation", with the summit including forums, conferences and two new sections - a road show and trade fair.

During the road show, 28 member cities and regions from around the world presented their tourism products and local culture to the public.

More than 240 companies and organizations in the tourism industry are attending the trade fair, which aims to become a high-end cooperation platform for Chinese tourism.

Before the fair opened, 1,500 prospective deals were negotiated by buyers. During the fair, each buyer is allowed 15 minutes for face-to-face negotiations.

At the summit opening ceremony, the federation also launched its "We-media" platform. This will provide members and tourists with the latest information through the organization's mobile app, WeChat and microblog accounts, official website and magazine.

Song said the federation will follow the latest technology trends to offer new and innovative services to its members. In the future, it will further boost cooperation between members and introduce more tourism cities and regions to the global market.

It will also continue to work on technology to develop more new-media projects.

Having set up an expert committee for market and academic research, the federation will release more reports and publications to offer high-quality information to its membership.
