向各位來賓表示誠摯的歡迎!向大會表示熱烈的祝賀!旅游是一項集觀光、娛樂、健身為一體的愉快而美好的活動。旅游業(yè)隨著時代進步而不斷發(fā)展。20世紀(jì)中葉以來，現(xiàn)代旅游在世界范圍迅速興起，旅游人數(shù)不斷增加，旅游產(chǎn)業(yè)規(guī)模持續(xù)擴大，旅游經(jīng)濟地位顯著提升，旅游活動愈益成為各國人民交流文化、增進友誼、擴大交往的重要渠道，對人類生活和社會進步產(chǎn)生越來越廣泛的影響。古往今來，旅游一直是人們增長知識、豐富閱歷、強健體魄的美好追求。在古代，中國先哲們就提出了“觀國之光”的思想，倡導(dǎo)“讀萬卷書, 行萬里路”, 游歷名山大川, 承天地之靈氣, 接山水之精華。新中國成立后特別是改革開放以來, 中國政府高度重視旅游工作, 旅游業(yè)持續(xù)快速發(fā)展, 已經(jīng)成為一個富有蓬勃活力和巨大潛力的新興產(chǎn)業(yè)。目前，中國入境旅游人數(shù)和旅游外匯收入躍居世界前列，出境旅游人數(shù)迅速增加，已經(jīng)成為旅游大國。今年上半年，盡管我國遭遇了一場突如其來的非典疫情沖擊，但我們一手抓防治非典，一手抓經(jīng)濟建設(shè)，及時采取有力扶持政策，使一度受到重創(chuàng)的旅游業(yè)得以迅速恢復(fù)和發(fā)展。中國是一個歷史悠久的文明古國，也是一個充滿時代生機的東方大國，擁有許多得天獨厚的旅游資源。自然風(fēng)光旖旎秀美，歷史文化博大精深，56個民族風(fēng)情濃郁，目前已被列入世界文化遺產(chǎn)地和世界自然遺產(chǎn)地達29處。在改革開放的推動下，現(xiàn)代化建設(shè)突飛猛進，城鄉(xiāng)面貌日新月異。古代中國的風(fēng)采神韻與現(xiàn)代中國的蓬勃英姿交相輝映。這些都為發(fā)展國內(nèi)外旅游創(chuàng)造了優(yōu)越的條件。21世紀(jì)頭20年，是中國全面建設(shè)小康社會。加快推進社會主義現(xiàn)代化的重要戰(zhàn)略機遇期，也是中國旅游業(yè)發(fā)展的有利時期。我們要把旅游業(yè)培育成為中國國民經(jīng)濟的重要產(chǎn)業(yè)，合理保護和利用旅游資源，努力實現(xiàn)旅游業(yè)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展。中國政府歡迎各國朋友到中國旅游觀光，我們將全力保障廣大旅游者健康和安全；同時鼓勵更多的中國人走向世界。我們愿同各國廣泛開展合作，推動世界旅游業(yè)的發(fā)展。多年來，世界旅游組織為促進全球旅游業(yè)的繁榮與發(fā)展，做出了積極而富有成效的努力。最近，世界旅游組織成為聯(lián)合國專門機構(gòu)，我們謹(jǐn)表示衷心祝賀。我們相信，這次大會必將對實現(xiàn)全球旅游業(yè)的更大繁榮和發(fā)展，起到重要的推動作用。祝世界旅游組織第15屆全體大會圓滿成功Speech
