Peng Bin, Secretary of the Party Leadership Group of Wulingyuan District Culture, Tourism, Radio, Film and Sports Bureau, presided over the promotion meeting.
In his speech, Qin Jinting, leader of the promotion group and deputy mayor of Wulingyuan District of Zhangjiajie City, introduced Zhangjiajie’s out-of-print natural resources with “three thousand green peaks and eight hundred glazed waters”. He thanked Cambodian travel agents for their love and support for Zhangjiajie. He hoped to further deepen the friendship between Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan and Cambodia, deepen tourism exchanges and cooperation, and attract more Cambodian friends to visit Zhangjiajie.
In the theme promotion film, Zhangjiajie's "high mountains, strange peaks, beautiful waters, secluded gorges, and beautiful caves", as well as the world's natural heritage, world geological parks and other dazzling laurels also shocked the travel agents at the scene. Zhangjiajie's "Charming Xiangxi" singer A Duo's intangible cultural heritage Sangzhi folk song performance allowed on-site travel agents to experience the rich customs of China's ethnic minorities. Everyone expressed that they would include the beautiful Zhangjiajie in tourism products as soon as possible and better recommend it to Cambodian tourists.
Suvi Sosi, Deputy State Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism of Cambodia, said in his speech, "Cambodia is a miracle kingdom with three world cultural heritages. In 2018, more than 2 million of the 6 million inbound tourists were from China. The number of Chinese tourists has also been growing in recent years and is Cambodia's largest overseas tourist source market. As Cambodia's living standards improve, The number of outbound tourists from Cambodia has exceeded 1 million every year. "Through this promotion, Zhangjiajie's unique geology and landforms are also very attractive to Cambodian travel agents. Suwei Sosi hopes that Cambodian travel agents will promote Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan. I believe that a large number of Cambodian tourists will go to the world heritage site Zhangjiajie Wulingyuan for sightseeing and leisure vacation in the future.
On the 24th, the promotion group also visited the Siem Reap Provincial Tourism Bureau in Cambodia. They were warmly received by Senke, director of the Siem Reap Provincial Tourism Bureau in Cambodia, and held a symposium. Zhangjiajie City and Cambodia's Siem Reap Province signed a memorandum of understanding on sister-city cooperation in 2017.

After watching the promotional video of Zhangjiajie, Senke greatly appreciated the tourism quality of Zhangjiajie and expressed his strong interest in Wulingyuan, which was added to the World Heritage in the same year as Angkor Wat in Cambodia, and he would definitely visit Zhangjiajie at the right opportunity. He also introduced in detail the overall tourism situation of Siem Reap Province in Cambodia from the aspects of tourism resources, tourist source structure, tourism reception facilities, tourism services, etc., and hoped that the two places will continue to focus on strengthening cooperation in tourism, achieve mutual benefit and win-win results, and jointly promote the development of both parties.
