Introduction
Our Chairman, Hawick Qian JP, is gearing up for a two-week tour of China's Yangtze River Delta, an economically prosperous region. The cities on the itinerary include Shanghai, Suzhou, Wuxi, and Nanjing. The main purpose of this trip is to assist Palmerston North's English Teaching College with its promotional activities in the Yangtze River Delta region and to boost the tourism profile of Manawatu and Palmerston North.
A Focus on Education
Promoting Palmerston North's English Teaching College
The Yangtze River Delta is home to some of China's most developed and dynamic economies. By establishing a presence here, we aim to attract potential students who are interested in studying English. Our Chairman, Hawick Qian, will meet with local educational institutions, authorities, and potential partners to discuss opportunities for collaboration.
Expanding Educational Exchange
Beyond promotion, this visit will serve as a cornerstone for building stronger educational ties between the cities in the Yangtze River Delta and Palmerston North. We hope to explore possibilities for International student programs, and other cooperative educational ventures.
Enhancing Tourism
Showcasing Manawatu and Palmerston North
The trip is not solely focused on educational outreach. A secondary objective is to promote tourism in the Manawatu region and Palmerston North. The Yangtze River Delta has a rapidly growing middle class with a keen interest in overseas travel. Hawick Qian will meet with travel agencies and tour operators to discuss potential partnership opportunities.
Boosting City Recognition
We hope this trip will serve as a catalyst for making Manawatu and Palmerston North more recognizable names on the global stage. The aim is to establish these areas not just as educational hubs but also as attractive tourism destinations.
Conclusion
This two-week journey is an ambitious endeavor aimed at achieving multiple objectives. By fostering educational partnerships and promoting tourism, we aim to strengthen ties between Palmerston North and one of China's most prosperous regions.
