The 6th World Tourism Image Ambassador Contest (Jiangsu Division) was launched at Le Royal Meridien in Shanghai on June 2.

The contest includes eight cities including Nanjing, Suzhou and Wuxi in East China’s Jiangsu province. After a talent show, top players will be selected as winners and go to South China’s Hainan province for a video shoot.

The contest is aimed to forge a bond of cooperation between Jiangsu province and Hainan province through a series of successive events at the two places. Carefree Travel, a well-known brand of Haikou Minjian Travel Agency and also one of the organizers, hopes the competition will publicize the beauty of Hainan.

"It is our responsibility to introduce Hainan to the world and the contest provides us with the chance to present not only the beauties from all over the world but also the beauty of Hainan," said Yang Zhisheng, manager of Haikou Minjian Travel Agency, Shanghai. Those interested in becoming a contestant should call 400-098-1580 or log on to www.sinazj.com for further information.
