SHANGHAI, Aug. 16 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Following the overwhelming success of The 2nd Tourism Property & Attraction Asia 2009, Global Leaders Institute ( http://www.globaleaders.com ) is proud to announce that this great conference will return on 16 Sep - 17 Sep, 2010 at the Shanghai Marriott Hongqiao Hotel, Shanghai, China.

Local governments in the Asia Pacific region, China, Singapore, Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, India, etc., are all seeking global investment for local attractions to promote the local tourism property industry and attraction industry. Many world-class, super mega projects are under planning or under construction.

Being an emerging market, the Chinese tourism industry has grown rapidly in recent years and is expected by UNWTO to be the largest tourism destination country by 2020. In November 25, 2009, the State Council of PRC defined tourism as a strategic pillar industry for the national economy among 'Suggestions about Accelerating the Development of Tourism Industry.' This makes the tourism property industry flourish to meet the demands of tourists, including accommodation, travel, shopping and entertainment, etc.

After the successful development of "Nanhai Legend" of Hainan, "Boao National Tourism Leisure Resort" of Sanya, a lot of tourism property projects are under planning, construction, and promotion, and have got great market effect. Under this situation, the tourism Property concept and style has become active. Recently, being promoted by the tourism economy and property capitals, tourism property development has entered into one flourishing era. With the continuous development of property hotels, timeshare properties, serviced apartments, and leisure villas, etc., many world-class theme parks, luxury resorts and eco-Islands, etc. are under planning and construction.
