In the past two days, the Global Important Agricultural Cultural Heritage Conference is held in Qingtian County. The meeting was jointly organized by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Ministry and the Zhejiang Provincial People's Government.

This meeting is large.

There are such sets of data: Iran, Italy, Japan, Peru, South Korea, Thailand, Brazil, Indonesia, Bangladesh, UAE, Mexico, Chile, Ecuador, Tanzania, Spain, etc. More than 200 representatives from 32 countries and international organizations from 32 countries and international organizations attended the meeting to share the practical experience of the protection and utilization of agricultural cultural heritage.

Qingtian County is famous for its "overseas Chinese township", but it is located in mountainous areas and there are not many permanent population: According to the seventh national census data, the county's permanent population is 509,000, including 146,000 overseas Chinese.

In terms of population scale, Qingtian is also a small county in Zhejiang Province. However, the county can hold a conference, and it is an international conference. This is quite novel, so it has caused a lot of media amazing. When reporting this matter, "this global conference, why did you settle in Zhejiang Mountain District, Zhejiang Mountain District The title of "Xiaoxian".

Qingtian held such a global conference. It has its own confidence: Qingtian rice field fish farming has a long history. The Qingtian rice fish symbiosis system is listed as the first batch of the world's first and important global agricultural cultural heritage.

And as of May 20, 2022, China has 18 important global agricultural cultural heritage, which is the first of the world. Among them, there are three items in Zhejiang, "six points in the world", which is the province with the most important global agricultural cultural heritage in China. This heavy conference was held in Zhejiang, and it was also supported and affirmed by Zhejiang's work.

But anyway, holding such a large -scale international conference in Qingtian, for the future development of this small city, there will be no doubt that it will be full: city brand, popularity and reputation will be greatly improved, and the linkage will be greatly improved, and the linkage will be jointly linked, and the linkage will link, and the linkage will be jointly linked, and the linkage will be jointly linked, and the linkage will link, and then the linkage will be linked. Bring all kinds of follow -up actions such as tourism and sightseeing, investment.

In the country's cities, competition is becoming more and more intense. In order to enhance the popularity of the city, such as the current "brand day", such as Qingdao City, Shandong Province, this international conference held in Qingtian shows its unique significance.

The layman watched the fun, and the interior looked at the door.

In addition to the significance of the global important agricultural cultural heritage conference to the future development of Qingtian, it also focuses on a trend: in recent years, many international conferences have become more and more popular with small and beautiful cities.

There are precedents in the small town office conference.

Let's start with international.

"Davos Forum" or "World Economic Forum", many of these words should hear them.

They are actually one thing, referring to the World Economic Forum held in Davos, Switzerland. This forum is extremely important. In May this year, in 4 days, nearly 2,500 guests from the world conducted hundreds of discussions on important issues such as the global economy, the new crown epidemic, and climate change.

But such an important conference, Davos, is a typical town. The town's population is only about 13,000, which is smaller than many towns in China, but because it has the largest high mountain ski resort in Europe, it has become a resort resort. Essence

Besides, domestic.

In this regard, Zhejiang also has a precedent.

Among them, the most famous, of course, is the World Internet Conference held in Wuzhen, Tongxiang City every year. The first conference was held from November 19th to 21st, 2014, and has been held for eight sessions so far.

The level of this conference is very high: During each conference, there will be a large number of countries or regional politicians, heads of international organizations, leaders of Internet companies, Internet celebrities, experts and scholars, etc., and countries also seek consensus in the dispute through this platform. In consensus, cooperation and win -win results in cooperation.

However, Wuzhen is also a typical small town: as of the end of 2020, the town's registered population was 86,481.

There is another example of another small city office conference in Zhejiang: In November 2018, the first UN World Geographic Information Conference was held in Deqing.

The specifications of this conference are also very high: according to media reports, the United Nations Secretary -General Guterres sent a video of congratulatory words. The government of more than 100 countries and regions in the field of member states, geographical information -related fields, academic information, and industry circles Participated in the conference, more than 200 geographical information related companies participated in the technology and application exhibition.

Deqing is also a small city: the seventh census data shows that the permanent population of Deqing County is about 549,000.

There are similar examples outside the province.

For example, the True Forum held in Panzhou City, Guizhou Province is also a typical "small city office conference": Panzhou is a county -level city -level cities in Liupanshui City, Guizhou, but this forum held in Panzhou is from ASEAN Since its establishment, the international forum activities held at the county level for the first time.

For example, in October 2019, officials, ASEAN and "ASEAN and the Belt and Road" officials, the envoys in China, entrepreneur representatives, industry elites, etc. attended the forum.

In addition, from March 30th to 31st this year, the third Afghan neighboring foreign minister meeting was held in Tunxi, Anhui. The permanent population of Tunxi District is about 290,000, which is also a typical "small city conference". After talking about these "small city conferences" in recent years, let's take a look at what kind of inspiration it has for our town development?

The first is the situation of the "small city conference" in recent years. Why are there more and more?

The reason behind is the continuous improvement of China's international status and influence, and international exchanges are becoming widespread. Therefore, more and more organizers of large international conferences have set their sights on China. It is certain that the phenomenon of the "small city conference" in the future will be more and more.

Secondly, what kind of small town can win the favor of international conferences?

Often, there are two conditions: First, it has rich cultural tourism resources in itself. Like Qingtian's conference, it is the first batch of "rice and fish symbiosis system" in the world. Large relationships; second, it has the corresponding infrastructure such as catering, accommodation.

In the end, this phenomenon is increasing. What does it mean for small cities?

If the small town can hold a conference, because the small town is small, the role of the meeting will be amplified, and the income obtained by the small town will be much higher than the metropolis.

It has been read here for the example of Deqing. With the convening of the first UN World Geographic Information Conference in 2018, the title of "Davos" in Deqing's geographical information version of "Davos" has spread internationally. The first new generation of artificial intelligence innovation and development pilot zone in the country, the emerging industries such as the Internet of Vehicles, Beidou, Satellite, Navigation, and Yuan Universe flourished.

At present, the competition in the city is becoming more and more intense. With the phenomenon of the "small city conference", if the cities with conditions can seize the international conference card, it will be able to play its own advantages, so as to achieve the "curve of urban development. overtake".

For the small town, this will be a big opportunity.
