T20 World Top Tourist Town Alliance Changbai Mountain Announcement

2016年的初夏6月，我們聚首在中國長白山二道白河鎮(zhèn)，共同思考世界旅游小鎮(zhèn)的生態(tài)保護和文明傳承問題，意識到世界旅游小鎮(zhèn)需要從不同角度思考發(fā)展模式，堅信旅游小鎮(zhèn)不僅是大型旅游景區(qū)景點的服務基地，自身也是特色鮮明的旅游目的地。

In the early Summer of June, 2016, we gather together here at Edelweiss River Town of Changbai Mountain, China, to think about the issue of world tourist towns’ ecological preservation and cultural inheritance, and realize that different tourist towns need different development models, believing that tourist town is not only the service base for large scale attractions, but also a unique tourist destination.

旅游小鎮(zhèn)在 “一帶一路”國家大戰(zhàn)略、全域旅游發(fā)展、塑造自身個性特色等方面有不可替代的地位和作用。長白山二道白河鎮(zhèn)作為中國知名的旅游小鎮(zhèn)，愿意和來自世界各國的旅游名鎮(zhèn)一起建立聯(lián)盟，加強交流，分享經(jīng)驗，共同發(fā)展。

Tourist towns are irreplaceable in world peace and development, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, integrated tourism development strategy, as well as shaping a unique characteristics. Edelweiss River Town of Changbai Mountain as one of the most well-known tourist towns in China, would love to found an alliance, strengthen communication, share experience and develop commonly, together with other tourist towns from around the world.

為此，我們倡議：

Hereby, we propose that:

全球最為著名的20家旅游小鎮(zhèn)共同發(fā)起與結(jié)成T20聯(lián)盟。T有三重含義，表示Top最佳、Tourist旅游、以及Town小鎮(zhèn)。

The most famous 20 international tourist towns jointly initiate and establish T20  Top International Tourist Town Alliance. T has triple meanings: Top, Tourist, and Town.

我們堅信通過世界旅游名鎮(zhèn)聯(lián)盟的成立，將會進一步加深各旅游小鎮(zhèn)之間的交流與合作，促進各旅游小鎮(zhèn)之間的市場共享，加深旅游小鎮(zhèn)之間的文化開放，聚合全球旅游小鎮(zhèn)發(fā)展建設的成功經(jīng)驗。

We truly believe that the founding of T20 World Top Tourist Town Alliance will deepen all tourist towns’ communication and cooperation, promote market sharing, encourage cultural opening-up and share more successful development experiences of tourist towns.
