Dear Sir or Madam

The expected growth of tourists from and to China in the coming years will be enormous. That’s why World Tourism Forum Lucerne signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Shanghai Government during its Talent Boost event in Shanghai. The targets are clear: a Chinese delegation at the Forum in Lucerne in April 2015 and an own biennial Forum in Shanghai as of autumn 2016! We are happy that you all are part of the World Tourism Forum Lucerne family and therefore as well part of this exciting journey.
