Chinese actress appointed tourism goodwill ambassador

Chinese actress Xu Qing has been appointed as a goodwill ambassador of Nepal for the promotion of Visit Nepal Year 2020 (VNY2020) campaign.
Nepal has deep relations with China and a personality with such huge fan following is now the face for the campaign, said minister for Culture, Tourism and Civil Aviation Yogesh Bhattarai, speaking at the event.
“Nepal will benefit in terms of number of tourists if Qing, who is also renowned in Hollywood, takes the name of Nepal in the events she attends,” he said, adding that Nepal – with the target of welcoming 2 million tourists – is celebrating VNY2020 campaign throughout 2020. “Nepali tourism fraternity is also expecting the rise in the number of Chinese tourists after the Chinese President Xi Jinping's recent state visit to Nepal.”
Bhattarai believed that the appointment of Xu will contribute to promoting Nepali tourism in the international arena. The minister called actress Xu as the daughter of Nepali princess Bhrikuti, who had got married to the emperor of Tibet Songtsan Gampo centuries back.
The Chinese actress, on the occasion, said that she is very happy to take the responsibility of the goodwill ambassador for the promotion of Nepali tourism.
