On 11 January I joined a seminar to give a short speech on the state of tourism in China.
The International Leisure Industry Forum 2014 was held at the Beijing International Hotel on January 11. The forum was co-hosted by the International Leisure Industry Association and the Leisure Economy Research Center of Renmin University. The forum featured the latest leisure trends and people behind its development under the influence of the third Plenary Session of the 18th CPC Central Committee.
“The leisure association hopes to promote the development of the leisure industry by strengthening international cooperation, including resources integration and comprehensive deepening of the reform” said Wang Jun, president of the International Leisure Industry Association.

Gu Xiulian, vice chairmen of the Standing Committee of 10th National People’s Congress of China, delivered a speech at the opening ceremony (pictured).
I also got one more title: “The Senior Consultant of the International Leisure Industry Association”. I am waiting they correct both my English and Chinese names…
