Located in the Yangtze River Delta Economic Zone, Shanghai is a center of global finance, and hosts large scale exhibitions such as the China International Import Expo, demonstrating the city’s commitment to strengthen cooperation, promote common prosperity of the world economy, while playing a vital role in the construction of “the Belt and Road Initiative.” Under the grand framework of Shanghai-Macao Cooperation Mechanism, GTEF will further consolidate the two cities' exchange and cooperation in culture and tourism and emphasize the importance of innovation-driven development. Positioning innovation as an engine for sustainable development, GTEF will look at how to leverage technological innovation to energize the culture and tourism industries, thereby molding a new trend in culture and tourism development.
