On September 25^th, the Department of Culture and Tourism of Guangdong Province officially announced the appointment of four distinguished individuals from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao as "Cultural and Tourism Ambassadors for Guangdong." These ambassadors include Pansy Ho, member of the 14^th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, Vice President of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce, President of the China Chamber of Tourism, and Chairperson of Shun Tak Holdings; Kenneth Fok, National People's Congress deputy, member of Legislative Council of Hong Kong SAR, and Chairman of the Hong Kong Arts Development Council; Quan Hongchan, Olympic champion in women's diving; and Zeng Xiaomin, renowned Cantonese opera artist, the President of Guangdong Province Iheairisi Association, and President of the Guangdong Yueju Opera Theater.

These four ambassadors, hailing from Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, bring their unique perspectives and deep connections to Guangdong to promote the region's culture and tourism, inviting visitors from across the globe to experience the vibrant and fashionable Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA).

The three regions share a common cultural heritage and close bonds among their people. Each ambassador represents a different field—culture, tourism, sports, and business—offering visitors a rich introduction to Guangdong's abundant cultural and tourism resources from their perspectives.

As Chairperson of the Global Tourism Economy Research Centre and a leader in the global cultural tourism industry, Pansy Ho, one of the ambassadors, has been at the forefront of promoting the cultural and tourism integration of the GBA. She highlighted the diversity of paths for cultural and tourism integration, the richness of tourism products, and the international appeal of the GBA. "Visitors to the vibrant and fashionable GBA will be treated to a feast for the senses and a profound fusion of mind and culture."

Kenneth Fok, another ambassador, also serves as Vice President of the Sports Federation & Olympic Committee of Hong Kong, China. He extended an invitation to international tourists to explore Guangdong, experience the grandeur of the starting point of the Maritime Silk Road, and immerse themselves in the rich mix of international exhibitions, festivals, and events in the GBA. With the 15th National Games set to be jointly hosted by Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao in 2025, even more exciting cultural and sporting events will draw visitors to the region.

Olympic champion Quan Hongchan expressed her deep affection for her hometown, passionately promoting Guangdong's tourism. "We have blue seas, green mountains, clear rivers, hot springs, folk traditions, and amusement parks. It's a place full of delicious food, exciting adventures, and beautiful sights. I warmly welcome everyone to visit Guangdong and explore my hometown."

Cantonese opera, a UNESCO intangible cultural heritage, is not only a symbol of Lingnan culture but also a shared memory for the people of Guangdong, Hong Kong, and Macao, as well as overseas Chinese longing for their roots. As a new-generation leader in the inheritance and innovation of Cantonese Opera, Zeng Xiaomin hopes more people can experience the profound and timeless appeal of Lingnan culture through Cantonese opera. She encourages visitors to come to Guangdong to discover the fascinating blend of ancient and modern cultural treasures.
