Centre-Val de Loire, one of the 18 administrative regions of France, is a major tourism destination only second to Parisian Region (Île-de-France). More than 300 châteaux, listed as the World Cultural Heritages by the UNESCO, win the region the title of “The Valley of the Kings”. Nine million tourists from all over the world come here every year.
Vice Governor He expressed great expectation for Hunan and Centre-Val de Loire cooperation. He hoped that the two sides will deepen collaboration in tourism products and tourist exchanges.
The French guests displayed picturesque scenery of the region which attracted a number of Hunan travel agencies. Meanwhile, Hunan’s abundant tourism resources also deeply impressed the guests.
