       The China International Self-Drive Tourism Trade Expo (hereinafter referred to as the Self-Drive Expo) is a significant expo event jointly organized by the National Tourism Administration and the 12 western provinces (municipalities and autonomous regions), and co-hosted by the Sichuan Provincial Tourism Bureau, the Sichuan Provincial Department of Commerce, the Sichuan Provincial Expo Bureau, and the People's Government of Chengdu City. It is also an important component of the "China Western International Exposition."
       The upcoming third China International Self-Drive Tourism Expo this year will present itself through a brand-new interactive experience. The two major sections — the "Premium Exhibition Area" and the "Live Broadcast Area" — will fully showcase the rich tourism resources and unique features of the 12 western provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions. This will better promote the concept of self-drive travel, advocate the spirit of self-driving, and effectively spread self-drive tourism culture, making the classic routes of the west the dream destinations for self-drive tourists. The "Virtual Self-Drive" section will allow audiences to fully enjoy the unique charm of self-drive travel while experiencing and sharing the joy of it.
       Everyone can visit the official website of the Self-Drive Tourism Expo — www.china9613.cn — to participate in the interactive activities.
