During the second day of the BVI Asian Trade Mission’s stop in Beijing, Premier and Minister of Finance & Tourism, Dr. the Honourable D. Orlando Smith, OBE and his delegation met with Vice Chairman Li Shihong and other senior members of the marketing and international cooperation departments of the China National Tourism Association (CNTA) to familiarise the organisation with the British Virgin Islands (BVI) as a tourism destination.
As part of the meeting, the BVI delegation shared a video that showcased the Territory, and they were pleased with the response of officials of the CNTA as they marveled at the Territory’s scenic natural beauty.
