China’s Ministry of Culture and Tourism and UN Tourism have further solidified their strategic partnership as they collaborate to promote the industry’s function as a catalyst for global development and collaboration.
To promote important issues across the global tourism agenda, UN Tourism Secretary-General Pololikashvili met with China’s Minister of Culture and Tourism Sun Yeli in the Chinese capital. These include increasing tourist education and situating tourism within international development cooperation.
Furthermore, promoting the sector’s crucial role in rural development was another goal of the bilateral meeting. The Chinese government actively engages in UN Tourism’s Best Tourism Villages initiative, according to the organization’s leadership.
There are now 15 villages in China after an additional 7 were chosen as the Best Tourism Villages in 2024. As a result, China is now the nation with the most communities recognized by UN Tourism.

It is expected that this strategy will further encourage the growth of inbound Chinese tourism.
