Governor Kenny Guinn of Nevada reminds us that tourism is the bedrock of Nevada's economy. To expand and diversify our domestic and international markets are absolutely essential to our long-term economic growth and stability.*1

Governor Kenny Guinn and Lt. Govenor Lorraine Hunt said that Nevada's tourism industry must continue to expand its offerings and reach out to diverse markets that range from outdoor enthusiasts to residents of the world's most populous nation (China). Speaking at the general session of the Governor's Conference on Tourism at Caesars Palace, he and she each praised Nevada's continuing efforts to supplement its gaming-based core with non-gaming amenities such as shopping, dinning, and outdoor recreation.*2

"I can't overstate the significance of China's potential as a visitor market for Nevada," Lt. Governor Hunt said. "I found modern cities rife with elements of Western culture such as Starbucks Coffee, MTV, the Rat Pack-era music of Frank Sinatra, etc. Up to 10 percent of the country's approximately 1.4 billion residents can now afford to travel overseas, which has positioned China as Nevada's "newest and most-modern market" for tourism."

On May 18, 2000 Lt. Governor Lorriane Hunt of Nevada led a delegation from Nevada to Taipei of the Republic of China. "This is important to Nevada in areas beyond just our tourism industry. Taiwan enjoys a growing economy with considerable technological advancement and as such, they are one of the world's top 15 trading nations. And with Nevada's total exports exceeding one billion dollars in 1999 alone, our local businesses stand to benefit as the Taiwanese market continues to prosper and expand," Lt. Governor of Nevada Hunt pointed out in Taipei.*3

"The Nevada Commission on Tourism believes it is vital to establish a presence in Taiwan in order to represent our tourism destinations to this emerging world travel market. Taiwan's capital, Taipei, has a working population of four million, with a youthful, technologically oriented work force. There is tremendous potential for building tourism among this sector," said Hunt.*4

"Similar to the new direction of the government in Taiwan, we are seeking new horizons for the economy of Nevada. Building mutally beneficial relationships with Taiwan, and other foreign countries, will create the demand for direct, regularly scheduled flights. Our work will help Nevada establish contacts for lucrative business and convention visitors from around the world that will form the foundation for a new pillar in the Nevada economy."*5

Las Vegas, Nevada, Representative Offices to Taiwan and Shanghai of Nevada Commission on Economic Development, and Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) extend their heartily welcome to the business, tourism, and investment from Asian countires to boom the tourism and ecomomy of this silver state.

In anticipation of the potential for increased tourism in Penghu, Taiwan, at least one Nevada casino enterprise has already purchase a significant piece of property in Penghu. At the request of Charlyne Chen (陳思庭), NCED has contacted several Nevada cities about establishing a sister-city relationship with Penghu. A Team of delegation organized by the high-ranking officials of Penghu will come to Las Vegas in September 4, 2005 for further plan in tourism and business cooperation and development.*6

In order to build an association among important cities nationally and internationally for: (1) Mutual cooperation and development of business, trade, and tourism; (2) Social and public relations among business and professionals; and (3) Event and dinner parties for our community in an atmosphere of friendly and mutual cooperation. Justice of the Supreme Court Michael Douglas, District Judge Jessie Walsh, Clark County Commissioner Lynette McDonald, Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber, Southern Nevada Sherrif Bill Young, business executives and owners, multimedia publishers and Editor-in-Chief, organizational and community leaders, among others co-sponsored the initial establishment of Intercity Business Council of Nevada (with the name now as 'International Cities Business Council') on December 16, 2004 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U. S. A.*7

"Through the recommendations by our faculty members including Justice of the Supreme Court Michael Douglas, District Judge Jessie Walsh, Clark County Commissioner Lynette McDonald, Nevada Assemblywoman Valerie Weber; Miss Charlyne Chen (陳思庭) has been appointed Acting Chairperson of the Intercity Business Council of Nevada (IBCN) of Washington Business and Technology Institute (WBTI) on July 15, 2005," announced Dr. John Wang, Spokesman of WBTI, on Monday July 18, 2005 in Las Vegas, Nevada, U.

"I'm so excited about the appointment since lots of my job are related to have a function on the basis of international perspective.
