Symposium

Leaders’ speech 

At the symposium, Zhou Linchun, Deputy County Magistrate of Shilin County People’s Government introduced the overview of scenic spots and tourism development in Shilin. He said that the cooperation and joint establishment of the training base by School of Vocational & Technical Education and Lancang-Mekong International Vocational Institute of Yunnan Minzu University and Stone Forest Scenic Area would help to give full play to the demonstration function of science education and standardization management in Stone Forest Scenic Area and improve its tourism management and sustainable development of tourism. Through close exchanges and contacts combining work and study, the two sides would surely make remarkable achievements in their cooperation. Meanwhile, he hoped that the training base would play a cultural and technological support role in promoting the harmonious development between university and locality, and provide intellectual support for tourism development in Stone Forest. Zhao Chun, Vice Principal of Yunnan Minzu University, introduced the scale and talent training of School of Vocational & Technical Education and Lancang-Mekong International Vocational Institute of Yunnan Minzu University. In his opinion, university strengthening cooperation with practical work departments like the government and enterprises is the only way to accurately grasp the demand of the times, improve students' practical skills, and cultivate high-quality application-oriented talents. Relying on the rich experience of Shilin Scenic Area Administration Bureau in planning, development and management of tourist attractions, the university and the scenic area cooperating to build the tourism training base can not only provide students with high-quality off-campus training conditions to promote their professional skills and quality, but also carry out extensive cooperation in the fields of tourism management theory research, scenic spot development, and tourism resource planning, etc. to jointly promote the integration and development of policy, production, learning and research, contributing to the development of Yunnan tourism culture industry.
