《T20世界旅游名镇峰会长白山宣言》

T20 World Top Tourist Town Alliance Changbai Mountain Announcement

2016年的初夏6月，我们聚首在中国长白山二道白河镇，共同思考世界旅游小镇的生态保护和文明传承问题，意识到世界旅游小镇需要从不同角度思考发展模式，坚信旅游小镇不仅是大型旅游景区景点的服务基地，自身也是特色鲜明的旅游目的地。

In the early Summer of June, 2016, we gather together here at Edelweiss River Town of Changbai Mountain, China, to think about the issue of world tourist towns’ ecological preservation and cultural inheritance, and realize that different tourist towns need different development models, believing that tourist town is not only the service base for large scale attractions, but also a unique tourist destination.

旅游小镇在 “一带一路”国家大战略、全域旅游发展、塑造自身个性特色等方面有不可替代的地位和作用。长白山二道白河镇作为中国知名的旅游小镇，愿意和来自世界各国的旅游名镇一起建立联盟，加强交流，分享经验，共同发展。

Tourist towns are irreplaceable in world peace and development, China’s Belt and Road Initiative, integrated tourism development strategy, as well as shaping a unique characteristics. Edelweiss River Town of Changbai Mountain as one of the most well-known tourist towns in China, would love to found an alliance, strengthen communication, share experience and develop commonly, together with other tourist towns from around the world.

为此，我们倡议：

Hereby, we propose that:

全球最为著名的20家旅游小镇共同发起与结成T20联盟。T有三重含义，表示Top最佳、Tourist旅游、以及Town小镇。

The most famous 20 international tourist towns jointly initiate and establish T20  Top International Tourist Town Alliance. T has triple meanings: Top, Tourist, and Town.

我们坚信通过世界旅游名镇联盟的成立，将会进一步加深各旅游小镇之间的交流与合作，促进各旅游小镇之间的市场共享，加深旅游小镇之间的文化开放，聚合全球旅游小镇发展建设的成功经验。

We truly believe that the founding of T20 World Top Tourist Town Alliance will deepen all tourist towns’ communication and cooperation, promote market sharing, encourage cultural opening-up and share more successful development experiences of tourist towns.
