At the seminar, the two sides briefly introduced respective features and advantages in cultural tourism and other aspects. The Publicity Department of the CPC Dezhou Municipal Committee signed memorandums of friendly cooperation with Tomatoworld Foundation and Westland City Agro-tourism Company respectively.
