ʻOi aku ma mua o 50 mau mākaʻikaʻi, nā kahua kiʻiʻoniʻoni a me nā wahi ma waena o ʻEulopa i hoʻololi i ka malu o ka ʻulaʻula i ka hopena pule i hala aku nei e kūkulu i kahi alahaka hōʻailona o ka mālamalama i Kina e hoʻohanohano ana i ka 2018 EU-China Tourism Year (ECTY).

Mai nā kahua hoʻoilina honua kaulana ʻo UNESCO e like me ka Pont du Gard ma Farani a hiki i ka hale monumental kaulana ʻole e like me ka National Athenaeum ma Bucharest (Romania), he lehulehu o nā kahua ma 18 mau ʻāina i komo i ka hana. ʻO nā hanana moʻomeheu e pili ana i nā kaiāulu kūloko a me Kina i hele pū me ka mālamalama o nā ʻāina ma nā wahi he nui, e like me ka Grand Place poina ʻole ma Brussels (Belgium). Ua mālama ka hope i kahi hōʻikeʻike o nā kukui Kina nunui a me kahi ʻaha mele o nā mele Kina i hoʻonohonoho ʻia e ka Misiona Kina i ka EU, me ka hoʻomālamalama kūikawā o ka façade o ka Hotel de Ville (City Hall) i ka ʻulaʻula.

ʻO ka hoʻolauleʻa pan-European i kapa ʻia ʻo "The EU-China Light Bridge" he hana ia a ke Komisina ʻEulopa me ka hui pū ʻana me ka European Travel Commission (ETC), nā ʻaha kūkā nui, nā hui moʻomeheu a me nā papa mākaʻikaʻi ma ʻEulopa. Ua manaʻo ka Light Bridge i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻike no nā wahi ʻEulopa liʻiliʻi i ʻike ʻia ma Kina a me ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi manawa no nā kaiāulu ʻEulopa a me Kina e hoʻomaʻamaʻa maikaʻi a mahalo i nā moʻomeheu o kēlā me kēia. Ua hui like ka hana me ka hoʻolauleʻa ʻana i ka Lantern Festival ma Kina e hōʻailona ana i ka pau ʻana o nā ʻahaʻaina o ka Makahiki Hou. E kūkulu ʻia ke kia Kina o ka Light Bridge ma ka lā 9 o Mei 2018 ma ke kono ʻana o China National Tourism Administration a ma ka manawa o "Europe Day", me kekahi mau wahi Kina me ka Macao Tower kaulana i hoʻomālamalama ʻia i ka uliuli o ka EU. hae.

Ke manaʻo nei ka ECTY e hoʻolaha i ka European Union ma ke ʻano he huakaʻi huakaʻi ma Kina, e hāʻawi i nā manawa e hoʻonui ai i ka hui bilateral a me ka ʻike like ʻana a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i mea hoʻoikaika i ka holomua ma ka wehe ʻana i ka mākeke a me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa visa.

Ua ʻike ʻo ʻEulopa i ka piʻi nui ʻana o 16% o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi mai Kina i 2017, e hōʻea ana i kahi moʻolelo 13.4 miliona mau hōʻea. Ua wānana ka ETC i ka awelika 9.3% o ka ulu makahiki o ka poʻe mākaʻikaʻi e hiki mai ana ma ʻEulopa i nā makahiki ʻekolu e hiki mai ana.
