Service industry to make use of internet sector developments
For Liang Jianzhang, the co-founder and chairman of online travel agency Ctrip, discussing global internet connections in Wuzhen, Zhejiang province - a classic Chinese tourist spot - is kind of fun.
The sixth World Internet Conference will be held in this ancient and picturesque city, a typical river town south of the Yangtze River. It has been named as one of the Top-10 Charming Chinese Towns. Wuzhen is reputed as "the last riverine town in China" with a historic civilization stretching back 7,000 years while the town itself has a history dating back 1,300 years.
"My expectations for this year's WIC in Wuzhen will be the service globalization based on technological advancement, as well as global scientific innovative developments," Liang said.
