When will Weifang hold the International Equestrian Culture Festival?

On the afternoon of October 12, 217, at the Beijing Equestrian Industry Forum, the main venue of the China International Equestrian Horse Industry Exhibition Forum, the "217 China Horse Culture Tourism Summit" and the "International Equestrian Tourism Launch Conference and Weifang Binhai International Equestrian Culture Festival Launch Conference" were held grandly. On behalf of the International Equestrian Tourism Federation, Bo ickes, Chairman of the International Equestrian Tourism Federation (FITE), announced that China was officially accepted as the 21st equestrian Tourism Federation. This indicates that the combination of cultural tourism industry and horse industry in China has entered an international historical period.

Bo ickes said that equestrian tourism is a very developed industry in the world, especially in Europe and America. I am very happy to see China join the international family of equestrian tourism. In view of the rapid development of China's economy, the consumption of tourism industry and equestrian industry is exploding. China's entry into FITE is of great significance to promote the standardization of China's equestrian tourism industry and accelerate the exchange and cooperation of horse culture with other countries.

The International Equestrian Tourism Federation was founded in 1975 under the initiative of France, Belgium and Italy, with the goal of uniting all countries in the world and their equestrian tourism organizations and assisting them to carry out various cultural tourism and sports activities with horse themes. At present, the member countries include Germany, Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Denmark, Spain, France, Britain, Hungary, Ireland, Iceland, Italy, Luxembourg, Morocco, Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. In addition to equestrian tourism, the International Equestrian Tourism Federation has also innovated and integrated many "non-Olympic" events and "non-International Equestrian Federation events", such as equestrian orienteering

cross-country, horseback riding and shooting, working equestrian (herdsman competition) and children's equestrian events. FITE has become an important equestrian competition system outside the International Horse Federation, which is of great significance to the popularization of equestrian culture in the world. These events are different from the Olympic equestrian events, they rely more on national culture and tourism and entertainment, and have strong ornamental, entertainment and participation. At present, it is rapidly spreading in European countries.

It is reported that on September 3rd this year, Wu Gangfang, president of China Horse Culture Sports Tourism Planning and Research Institute, represented China in France and attended the "217 World Congress" of the International Equestrian Tourism Federation. At the meeting, China joined the organization as the first country in Asia. Wu Gangfang delivered a speech on the theme of "Standardization and Internationalization of Horse Cultural Tourism in China", and introduced the resources of China Horse Cultural Tourism < P > to the representatives of member countries, which won warm applause from the audience.

Wu Gangfang pointed out that China is an ancient civilization with a history of 5, years, an important birthplace of horse culture in the world, and the second largest horse-raising country in the world. It is rich in natural resources and

human resources for horse culture tourism, whether it is the Terracotta Warriors and Horses of Qin Shihuang, the "Flying Swallows" in the Han Dynasty, the "March Street" horse racing festival in Dali, the "Nadam" in Mongolia, and Kazakh songs and dances. China

has a large number of equestrian outdoor sports consumers at the same time. With the vigorous development of cultural tourism industry by China government and the promotion of towns with cultural tourism characteristics, equestrian cultural tourism consumption will expand rapidly, which will effectively promote the fundamental transformation of horse industry in China

.

In order to facilitate equestrian enthusiasts at home and abroad to share the information about world equestrian tourism, China Horse Culture Sports Tourism Planning and Research Institute will sort out domestic and global equestrian tourism resources, including equestrian tourism routes, equestrian tourism service enterprises, grand equestrian festivals and equestrian cultural performances. With the assistance of the International Equestrian Tourism Federation, we will further exchange equestrian tourism resources with other countries in the world, and exchange tourism with international horse riders, so that

China horse riders can ride in Yellowstone National Park and foreign horse riders can ride at the foot of the Great Wall. Therefore, China Equestrian Network and China Equestrian Sports Tourism Planning and Research Institute will soon launch an equestrian tourism information sharing platform. Equestrian tourism service list

and Ma You can publish horse-riding travel routes for free, and Ma You can inquire about information about horse-riding services and routes from all over the world, as well as excellent events and festivals, and at the same time, they can "change horses, change sofas
