尊敬的各位朋友,女士们、先生们:
早上好!
我非常高兴作为中-澳经贸合作论坛中方的成员,在吴邦国委员长的率领下,来到美丽的澳大利亚参加论坛的有关活动,这说明中澳两国的旅游交往和旅游合作在两国关系中所起的作用正在逐渐增强,已经得到中澳双方政府的高度重视。
中国和澳大利亚都是世界上具有重要影响的大国,又同属亚太地区,拥有广泛的共同利益和合作需要,两国经济互补性极强,经贸、旅游合作前景广阔。近年来,在两国政府的高度重视下,中澳战略合作伙伴关系得以建立和巩固,为两国旅游及经贸关系的进一步发展创造了条件。
根据我们最新的统计,今年1-3 月份,旅华的澳洲朋友已经有10.58 万,比上年同期增加39.98%,显示了良好的增长势头。这说明中国丰富多彩的旅游资源,日臻完善的接待设施,具有浓郁东方特色的服务已为世界,包括澳洲朋友们广泛认可。
同样,澳大利亚得天独厚的旅游条件,良好的基础设施和卓越的旅游服务也吸引着越来越多的中国游客,特别是1999 年8 月,澳大利亚成为中国公民自费旅游目的地以来,来澳旅游的中国客人更是大幅增长。今年1-3 月份,旅澳的中国客人为9.42 万,比上年同期增加31%,继续保持高速增长的态势。
根据WTO统计,亚太地区是市场增长最快的地区,而中国旅游的发展则成为亚太区域经济体中最为耀眼的一颗明星。中国经济在发展,社会在进步。一个充满活力、更加开放与和平崛起的中国,应该成为澳大利亚理想的合作伙伴。一个相互依存、互利双赢的中澳旅游关系必将成为推动中澳关系发展的强大动力,为两国人民带来更大的福祉。让我们共同努力,不断进取,共同创造中澳旅游合作的美好明天!
谢谢大家!

Distinguished delegates, ladies and gentlemen:
It is my great pleasure, on behalf of UNWTO, to extend a very warm welcome to you all for this important International Conference on Cultural Tourism and Local Communities—UNWTO’s first major events this year in Asia. It is indeed most appropriate that we meet today in the city of Yogyakarta in Java to discuss the issues of cultural tourism and local communities. Java, like Indonesia as a whole, has one of the richest and most diverse cultural heritages of the world. Moreover, it is linked with the historical sites like Borobudur and Prambanan, some of the most precious treasures of mankind and the world’s most renowned tourism attractions. Indeed, it is not by sheer coincidence that Yogyakarta was chosen as the host venue for several international conferences regarding cultural tourism development in recent years.
Ladies and gentlemen, let me begin by sharing with you the current state of world tourism today. 2005 represented a milestone year for tourism. As you will recall, the year began immediately following the devastating events of the Indian Ocean Tsunami, which made a significant impact on the tourism industry in Asia as a whole. However, world tourism not only demonstrated its strong resilience to recover, but also surpassed the 800 million mark for international tourist arrivals for the first time in history, with a 5.5% growth rate worldwide. Particularly in Asia and the Pacific, the number of international arrivals continued to grow by 7% in 2005 even after an astonishing 28% growth in 2004. We are fully aware that several major uncertainties remain not least terrorism, rising oil prices, and the potential impact of avian flu. Yet, the pattern of world tourism for 2006 suggests that the industry remains firmly in positive territory with further growth potential.
Today we are here to discuss a very important topic in cultural tourism and its linkages with local communities. The conference is aimed at exploring the challenges posed by cultural tourism for local communities, and the contribution it can make to poverty alleviation. Poverty alleviation in the developing world is one of the foremost issues of our time, an issue which has commanded the full focus of not only world leaders and their governments, but also civil society. As a specialized agency of the United Nations, the UNWTO is committed to assisting the international community towards the achievement of the UN Millennium Development Goals, in particular the reduction of extreme poverty. Indeed, there is little doubt today that cultural tourism can contribute significantly to poverty alleviation, through its proven ability to create jobs, greater socio-economic opportunities and an enhanced quality of life in local communities. The vivid example of Yogyakarta, especially the Cultural Corridor concept, is a true testament of how a destination can take advantage of its world-class tourist attractions for the benefit of the surrounding community.
Over the last decade the World Tourism Organization has actively advocated the development of cultural tourism in all parts of the world. In 2004, UNWTO held a Ministerial Meeting on Cultural Tourism and Poverty Alleviation which highlighted the challenges and opportunities presented by cultural tourism, culminating in the historic Hue Declaration. Moreover, we have established our UNWTO ST-EP (Sustainable Tourism-Eliminating Poverty)Foundation, which commenced initial activities to develop sustainable tourism to eliminate poverty in developing countries.
I am pleased to note that this conference has attracted a wide spectrum of delegates and speakers ranging from ministers, senior officials to reputed industry leaders and academics. Their expertise, insight, and experience will be hugely valuable in providing a variety of models of the region that reflect sustainable cultural tourism in practice, building upon the theoretical work already achieved by the Hue Declaration. Furthermore, I am confident that the conference will be able to advise on models for developing practical partnerships between the public and private sectors for community development through tourism.
I would like to conclude by thanking the Ministry of Culture and Tourism of Indonesia for hosting this conference. Your warm hospitality ever since we arrived here and your excellent arrangements will certainly contribute to the success of this event.
Finally, I wish Indonesia and Yogyakarta tourism full success and I wish you all a very rewarding Conference.
Thank you.
