The province has innovated in outdoor sports, cultural experiences, and other sectors, creating internationally recognized rural event brands such as the "Village BA." He extended a warm invitation to the Portuguese tourism industry to participate in the International Conference of Mountain Tourism and Outdoor Sports 2025, which will be held in Guizhou this September, and emphasized that Guizhou will continue to optimize its inbound tourism policies, looking forward to working with the Portuguese tourism industry to showcase the "Mountain Miracles" of Guizhou.

Wen Wei expressed the hope that today's exchange would deepen mutual trust and cooperation with the Portuguese tourism industry, injecting new momentum into the revitalization of mountain villages and rural communities.
