The trip has been very fruitful. Mr. LIU Peng and his team have been well informed and equipped with new knowledge and insights in winter sports & ski resorts development.
The 3 trends in Olympic and winter sports development have been increasingly evident:
• Transformation and recycling of old venues
More and more governments and institutes start to realize single-used stadium is a great waste of resources; experts all over the world are now focusing on how to utilize the sports venues after the game, either sold the stadiums to private companies or transformed into public infrastructure to benefit the public is worth consideration.
• New Ski Resort Style- Four Seasons Ski Resort
Ski Resort will operate not only in winter, but in all four seasons. Ski fans will be able to enjoy the fun of skiing throughout the year.
• Mountain Lifestyle – Close to the nature
Recently, public start to pay more attention on nature, the unique mountain lifestyle and the spirit it conveyed-close to the nature, enjoy the pure life, has been more popular.
