The supporting activities were also spectacular. In early May, IMTA organized Sino-French Rope Team to jointly climb the Mont Blanc, the highest peak in Western Europe.

The opening ceremony featured a flag handover for the IMTA and International Mountain Tourism Day. In order to deepen international friendly exchanges and promote understanding and respect of different cultures, the events also included the "Nice Night" Dinner and the Mountain Community & Art Exhibition. The fusion of traditional Chinese Miao and Dong ethnic songs, dances, Western orchestral music, and the interaction between global mountainous natural scenery and humanistic life, will surely bring unique experiences to the guests.

The year 2024 marks the 60th anniversary of diplomatic ties between China and France, and is also the "China-France Culture and Tourism Year". As important representatives of the Eastern and Western civilizations, China and France have a long history of friendly exchanges. The two civilizations have attracted each other and become a model of exchanges and mutual understanding between the Eastern and Western civilizations. The cultural and artistic exchanges between the two peoples have become a cornerstone of open cooperation. The "International Mountain Tourism Day 2024" Theme Events held in Nice, France, leveraged this opportunity to build a bridge for cooperation between the mountain tourism industries of both countries.

The "International Mountain Tourism Day (IMTD)" is an international commemorative day initiated and established by IMTA in 2018. Since its first edition in Kathmandu, Nepal in 29th May 2019, to its current edition in Nice, France, IMTD commemorative theme events have been successfully held for six years.
