Some 150 tourism officials and  experts from the World Tourism Organization (WTO) and its member  nations are attending a three-day seminar on regional cooperation  in tourist destination development and management, which opened  Tuesday in this scenic city in south China's Guangxi Zhuang  Autonomous Region.

WTO member nations will display and exchange their models,  expertise and experience in tourism development, making a big step forward for their collaboration.

The seminar is of great help for the advancement of China's  tourism cooperation with other countries, picking up the country's pace towards becoming a world tourism giant, according to  officials of the National Tourism Administration.

In 2002, the Boao Forum for Asia Tourism Conference was held  successfully in Guilin. About 500 delegates from 32 Asian and  European countries and 10 international organizations attended the conference.

More than 10 million Chinese and overseas tourists come to  visit Guilin every year.
