 Guizhou’s mountain outdoor sports industry is vibrant and diverse. Relying on its
Karst landscape resources, Qianxinan Prefecture has continued to develop rock climbing,
hiking, trail running, camping, car rallying and other outdoor activities, accelerating
the integration of mountain sports with tourism, culture and wellness. Multiple 
outdoor sports events will be held concurrently during the Conference, allowing 
participants and the public to enjoy the fun of “Breathe Deep in the Mountains” 
in Wanfenglin, Maling River Canyon and other scenic areas.

 Since MTOS was launched in Qianxinan Prefecture in 2015, the Conference has been
China’s only international summit themed on mountain tourism. For more than a decade,
it has adhered to the principles of internationalization, market orientation, brand
building and public participation, using mountains as a bond to build a global platform
for dialogue and collaboration. It has released declarations and research outputs,
including the _Guizhou Declaration on International Mountain Tourism_, the _Report
on Mountain Tourism Cooperation and Development under the RCEP Framework_, and _Climate
Change and Mountain Tourism Responses_, contributing many development concepts with
global reference value. It has promoted the introduction of China’s first prefecture-
level mountain tourism standards system and has identified and released globally“
World Famous Tourism Mountains,” “IMTA International Mountain Hiking Tourism Demonstration
Routes,” and “IMTA International Mountain Hot Spring Wellness Tourism Pilot Demonstration
Site,” providing practical models for mountain resource development and product 
format cultivation. Over the past decade, the Conference has continued to deepen
the integration of “tourism + sports + culture” and has become an important platform
for promoting the high-quality development of Guizhou’s tourism industry and showcasing
new mountain tourism formats.

 From the inaugural MTOS in 2015 to its 10th edition in 2026, MTOS has witnessed
and helped drive Guizhou’s leapfrog growth in mountain tourism. On November 8, join
us in Qianxinan Prefecture for this ten-year milestone and experience “Breathe Deep
in the Mountains, A Slow – Living Sojourn” amid a forest of peaks.
