2016年10月28日,北美旅游名家温州行暨美国旅游作家协会2016(温州)年会圆满落幕。本次以“温州之美,让世界看见”为主题的年会,推出“中美旅游发展论坛、中美旅游摄影展、温州旅游采风、温州美食体验”等系列活动,让美国旅游作家协会的会员更加了解温州,也喜欢上了温州。这场中美旅游文化交流盛会,带给北美嘉宾以独特的温州体验和神奇的中国感受。

互联互通尽显“国际范”

在本次年会活动中,中美旅游发展论坛、中美旅游摄影展是主办方精心安排的两场重要活动,也是本次温州活动的看点。中美旅游发展论坛是整个年会活动的重头戏,论坛上中国国家旅游局办公室副巡视员范巨灵、浙江省旅游局副局长许澎分别做主题演讲,他们从不同的角度阐述了中美旅游年活动的意义,并对开展中美旅游合作交流提出相关建议。在论坛的对话环节,《时尚旅游》《西行杂志》《洛杉矶时报》、春秋航空等媒体与旅游业者分别从国外旅游名家的视角表达了对温州自然风光和人文环境的喜爱,肯定了温州可期的境外游客市场前景。

另一场活动中美旅游摄影展的开幕式当天晚上在国家4A级景区——温州印象南塘举办。摄影展展出温州和北美两地18位旅游作家和摄影家的摄影作品,记录两地不同的地域风光、城市影像和民俗文化。那些多彩美图和秀色光影,让观展者读懂温州山水的“神奇、峻秀、古朴、隽永”,而北美风光的“壮丽、自然、梦幻、多彩”,也大大丰富了“印象南塘”的文化色彩。

致力于将旅游业定位为一号服务业的温州,通过北美旅游名家温州行暨美国旅游作家协会2016(温州)年会,深度诠释了“神奇山水、传奇温州”的新内涵,不仅展示了温州旅游文化发展的优势与成果,也拓展了温州城市对外文化交流与旅游合作空间,更增加了向世界推介宣传温州的经验和自信。

“温州之美,让世界看见”是本次年会活动的主题,该主题在这场中美旅游文化交流盛会中得以全面体现。正如温州市旅游局局长王爱香说的那样,本次年会活动是政府为温州旅游搭的一台“大戏”,在北美旅游名家温州行暨美国旅游作家协会2016(温州)年会活动的大舞台上,温州的山水之美、美食之美、文化之美正在让世界看见。

文化盛宴彰显“温州味”

在中美旅游业发展论坛上,浙江省旅游局许澎副局长提到,某些美国游客对历史文化的渴望程度、对地方产品的兴趣爱好要超过对景观的要求。本次年会推出的一系列文化展示体验活动,为远道而来的嘉宾呈现了一场温州传统文化盛宴。

活动期间为嘉宾特别准备的温州传统系列文化内容有温州非遗产品展示、温州地道美食体验、温州传统文化分享等。这些代表瓯越文化和地方特色的温州传统特色文化引起参会嘉宾的兴趣和喜爱,得到名家、作家的频频点赞。

10月24日欢迎仪式上展示的联合国教科文组织首批公布“人类口述与非物质文化遗产”——昆曲(《牡丹亭》)和最具地域风情的温州民歌——《对鸟》,让海外嘉宾体验到了温州戏曲文化和民间文艺的魅力。

26日晚上在温州特色食街——“天一角”,温州地方特色小吃鱼丸、馄饨、薄饼、灯盏糕、炒粉干、敲鱼汤等成为美国嘉宾喜爱的舌尖美味。美食体验活动现场,嘉宾流露的表情是开怀、叫好、赞美。而一场体验太极的活动,让嘉宾见识太极拳法的奇妙和中国功夫的神秘;开幕式前场外的瓯绣演示,让温州的传统工艺给嘉宾留下美妙印象。同时,在温州非物质文化遗产馆、温州工艺美术馆、温州南戏博物馆、温州武术馆等处的参观访问,也让嘉宾读懂温州文化的历史传承,看到温州人文历史和地域文化的多彩画卷。

闭幕式现场一位志愿者说,在本次年会上,最难忘的是那一张张不同肤色的笑脸,而记者听到嘉宾表达最多的一个词是“amazing”。确实,短短的几天时间,温州的神奇山水、地道美食、传统文化带给嘉宾的是惊喜、惊讶、惊奇。美国旅游作家协会2016(温州)年会主席梁掌球感叹:“温州是一座让人惊喜的城市,旅游资源丰富,一定要好好宣传。”

走进温州感受“山水美”

温州山水在中国极具代表性。为让北美嘉宾深刻感受“神奇山水,传奇温州”,温州旅游部门精心设计了多条神奇山水之旅让北美旅游作家采风考察,如世界地质公园考察之旅、温州田园风光摄影之旅、中国四大发明之活字印刷发现之旅等线路,均引起嘉宾极大兴趣。沿线的自然风光和淳朴民风,成为他们笔下和镜头中的温州风情,让他们看见温州之美。

走进世界地质公园雁荡山,惊险刺激的飞渡表演、云雾缭绕的方洞,让他们啧啧称奇。来自美国的Michael说这里的一切都是美国看不到的风景,尤其看到西门岛上渔民在滩涂上捕捉跳跳鱼,他觉得非常好奇,很想体验一下当地渔民的生活。

在楠溪江畔,茗岙梯田成为摄影家眼中的绝美中国仙境,林坑、苍坡、芙蓉等古村落让他们见证了中国古老的耕读文化,美国BBC电台旅游编辑Anne Banas对茗岙的田园风光赞不绝口,她说这里太美了,尤其喜欢梯田,因为美国没有水稻梯田。

在泽雅的千年纸山,嘉宾看到了古法造纸工艺和中国造纸术的活化石,赞叹不已,表示回去一定要告诉这次没来中国的作家,他们来了也一定会爱上这项古老的工艺。

在瑞安东源村,看完遗存下来的木活字印刷工艺展示,来自加拿大的作家、摄影师Janet Gyenes抢先体验了印刷术的操作过程。体验过不同风情的温州神奇山水之旅,嘉宾们收获满满,不仅有美景和美味,也有当地村民的热情和友善,温州山水给了他们一种纯美的意境和享受。

加拿大FIG Artistic Gymnostics World Champlonships的Magalie兴奋地说道:“雁荡山非常美,我喜欢这种青山、流水、绿树的风景。如果以后有机会,还会带着我的家人和朋友一起来雁荡山做客。”

美国纽约作家MerlPearlstein说:“我很兴奋来到这么美丽的城市、这么美丽的村庄,在美国并没有历史文化沉淀的建筑。在楠溪江的经历是值得被纪念的,这里的每一个景点都是一个新的故事、一个新的灵感。”

前美国加州旅游局公关主任John Pomiree说:“本次温州年会,是我曾参加所有大型活动中办得最出色的。这是一次无懈可击的具有国际水准的大型活动。”

The curtain of the 2016 Wenzhou Annual Meeting of American Travel Writers Association descended on October 28, 2016. Themed “Share the Beauty of Wenzhou with the World”, the years well-designed event successfully showed the diversity and depths of the tourism of Wenzhou to an American audience and made all participants fall in love with the city at first glance. The cultural gala brought all guests a memorable experience of a splendid China. Wenzhou is a port city in southern Zhejiang.

Globalization

This 2016 event was a truly global one. The two highlights of the 2016 annual meeting were China-America Tourism Development Forum that provided a platform for insiders to brainstorm about the tourism future of Wenzhou, and a photography exhibition featuring the works of 18 travel writers and photographers who through their lens recorded the beauty of Nantang, a riverside residential and commercial district that goes back to the Southern Song (1127-1279).

The 2016 Wenzhou annual meeting served as a powerful footnote to the unique tourism resources of Wenzhou and rich cultural connotations. It also helps expand cultural collaboration possibilities between Wenzhou and the rest of the world. The success of the event also shows the self-confidence of the city in its tourism promotion on a global stage.

At the forum, Zhejiang Tourism Administration vice director Xu Peng noted some American tourists preferred regional culture and history to scenic attractions. The guests taking part in the annual meeting enjoyed a variety of tailor-made cultural activities that demonstrated the splendid cultural tradition of Wenzhou and the charm of its representative Ouyue Culture.

A Taste of Wenzhou Flavors

Participants of the annual meeting had a taste of the cultural treasures of Wenzhou at various cultural spots such as Wenzhou South Opera Museum, Wenzhou Martial Arts Hall and Wenzhou Arts and Crafts Museum. The cultural immersion culminated on the night of October 26 when American guests had a good time at Tian Yi Jiao, the citys most famous “food paradise”.

“Wenzhou is an amazing city full of surprises,” said Liang Zhangqiu, chair of the 2016 annual meeting.

Wenzhou is one of the most fabulous representatives of traditional Chinese landscape aesthetics. The uniqueness is embodied in an array of state-level scenic spots highlighted by the World Geopark at the Yandang Mountain area, the gorgeous landscape of the Nanxi River and the mesmerizing beauty of the terraced farms at Mingao.

After relishing the beauty of the mist-enveloped Fangdong, one of the American guests gasped in admiration: “I saw something I have no chance to see in my home country, and the scene of the local fishermen catching jumping fish on the mudflat excited me.”

At Zeya, everyone was enthralled by the ancient paper-making craftsmanship of the locals.

For Canadian writer and photographer Janet Gyenes who had a great time trying the ancient movable type printing in Dongyuan Village, the trip was rewarding not only scenically. The friendliness and kindness of the locals also added greatly to the wonderful cultural enjoyments.

“The beauty and historical riches of the city and its countryside made me excited because it is something I dont have a chance to appreciate in America, a country that is much younger than China. For me, the experiences in Nanxi River are truly memorable. There is a story behind every scenic and cultural spot here and the trip brought me lots of new inspirations,” remarked Merl Pearlstein, a New York-based writer.

“The annual meeting held in Wenzhou is the best one of its kind I have ever taken part in. It is an impeccably arranged mega-event of a truly international quality,” commented John Pomiree, PR manager of Tourist Administration of California.
