KUNMING, Sept. 9 (Xinhua) — Participants at the recently held 2025 Global South Media and Think Tank Forum in southwest China's Yunnan Province praised the province's comprehensive approach to tourism development that combines environmental friendliness, cultural heritage preservation and economic growth.
After the Forum program, foreign guests visited various cities in Yunnan Province to learn about successful tourism development practices first-hand.
After visiting the museum in the Taipinghu Lake Forest Park and learning about the history of the fight against desertification in the city of Mile, the executive director of the Applikata Center for Strategic Solutions of the Kyrgyz Republic, Kubatbek Rakhimov, said that what happened here was not just a process of reclamation, but a real cultural and economic shift.
“China amazes me by constantly finding interesting, non-standard solutions,” said K. Rakhimov. He also added that the experience of developing tourism in Yunnan Province should be extrapolated and applied in other countries of the Global South.
"We all never cease to be amazed. Our Chinese colleagues have managed to develop and transform wild nature, to make every meter green. This is very surprising and wonderful," said Atay Osmonbaev, an employee of the Information Policy Department of the Kyrgyz Republic.
Deputy Director of RT Information Broadcasting Directorate Andrey Kiyashko said that Yunnan Province impressed him with its diversity and beauty, harmoniously combined with the progressive development of technology. He drew parallels with Moscow, noting common features in the greening of cities.
A. Kiyashko paid special attention to the preservation of cultural traditions in the city of Lijiang. “We were shown careful preservation of the traditions of all nations in the city of Lijiang. It was a very useful experience that revealed China to me from a new side,” he said. He is confident that the visa-free regime between Russia and China will contribute to the growth of the tourist flow.
“We saw natural attractions, a stunning ethnic show and the historical part of the city, and thus got acquainted with everything that the region is proud of,” said Daria Pankina, editor-in-chief of special projects for the KP.RU website of the Komsomolskaya Pravda media group, calling the excursion to Lijiang “excellent.”
"This province has found a balance between environmental conservation, industrial development and moving forward," she said.
According to D. Pankina, there are many projects in Russia aimed at strengthening interaction between representatives of different peoples of the country, and in China, the traditions of different ethnic groups of the population are also honored. “We saw this in the example of preserving the culture of the Naxi people in Yunnan Province.”
"The conference topic was very relevant, and the tours that were organized were also very interesting. I would like to advise and implement something in my country," said Marat Tazabekov, founder of the Kyrgyz news agency AKIpress.
A visit by media and think tanks from the Global South to Yunnan Province has clearly demonstrated that the province offers a comprehensive and sustainable development model that can serve as an inspiring example for many developing countries seeking to achieve harmonious coexistence between man and nature, and the traditional and the modern. -0-
