The event demonstrated picturesque Guiyang and its winter tourism features through a variety of presentations, including tourism route promotions, preferential policy releases and ethnic group stage performances.

The promotion was an important opportunity for both Guiyang and Zhengzhou to engage in exchanges and cooperation. It is hoped that the tourism industry in both two places will enjoy sound development through resource sharing, said Li Mingwei, deputy director of Zhengzhou culture, radio, TV and tourism bureau, during the promotion. 

Zeng Xiaozhu, deputy director of Guiyang culture and tourism bureau, expressed her hope for more tourism cooperation between the two cities, after detailing the hot spring health maintenance system, the local colors and rich Spring Festival culture in Guiyang. 

Guiyang, a city already known for its advancement in big data, has been striving to promote the integrated development of culture and tourism in recent years, by constructing a national all-for-one tourism demonstration zone.

Due to Guizhou's excellent combination of mountains, rivers and ethnic cultures, and the integration of a pleasant climate and green ecology, the province has become a popular tourist destination. Visitors are expected to have special experiences in winter in Guiyang. 

From Dec 1, 2019 to Feb 28, 2020, more than 200 A-level scenic spots in Guizhou will provide 50 percent ticket discounts (excluding franchising projects) for visitors from across China. 

Tourism-related enterprises, which organize more than 100 visitors in a chartered airplane to spend no less than three nights in Guizhou, will be rewarded with 30,000 yuan ($4,320) for each flight. 

Those which organize more than 300 visitors in special tourist trains or coaches to spend no less than three nights in Guizhou will be rewarded 50,000 yuan for each train or coach. Also, all visitors will enjoy preferential prices on tourism products, including the Kweichow Maotai.
