Two months after Jiangsu province announced that it would co-brand tourism and knowledge, a forum on the subject opened in Nanjing, the provincial capital, on Nov 10.
The province in eastern China has led the way in attracting students and encouraging them to learn by traveling, while Hanjiang, a district in the city of Yangzhou, demonstrated the advantages of integrating tourism with knowledge at the forum.
"Courses are the core of learn-through-travel itineraries," said He Yunfeng, chief of the education bureau of Hanjiang, "A well-arranged course should help students integrate knowledge and action."
