On understanding that Tibet regards protection of ecological environment as a top priority, the ambassadors nodded with approval.

 

Dusan Bella, Slovakian Ambassador to China, said with sincerity, "Tibet is the back garden for the world's environmental protection and for me it's like paradise. The Chinese government attaches great importance to the protection of the ecological environment in Tibet, and that is why the scenery is so beautiful here. They should persevere with the current ecological protection policies and seek environment-friendly solutions. These kinds of policies shouldn't just be implemented in Tibet, but be promoted all over the country."

 

 

In Tibet, tourism has already become the pillar industry of economic development. Through gaining an understanding of the industry, the delegation developed a keen interest in Tibet's unique tourism industry.

 

The delegation paid visit to homes in Tashigang village in the prestigious Lulang Town, where they engaged in face to face talks with villagers. After visiting the Phuntsock Family Hotel, Bellova, wife of the Slovakian Ambassador to China, was very excited. She said, "As a foreigner I find this very interesting and somewhat incredible. The decorations in Phuntsok's house are beautiful. He told us about the huge changes that have taken place in Tibet's history as he was a witness to these changes." Nebojsa Koharovic, Croatian Ambassador to China, said to Phuntsok, "living in such a beautiful place is enough to make anyone envious."

 

Ambassador Barbara Woodward said that having seen such a beautiful place, she would like to encourage more British friends to travel to Tibet. The delegation said that many projects in Tibet are filled with unique characteristics, including tourism, agriculture and other areas, and there are many worth learning from.
