Chongqing, June 6 (Reporter Liu Xianglin) At the Fifth National Young Entrepreneurs Summit held in Chongqing on 5 June, He Chaoqiong, vice chairman of the All-China Federation of Industry and Commerce and chairman of Shun Tak Group, said that only by combining their own development with national development and enterprise development with social progress can entrepreneurs realize the organic unity of social value and personal value of enterprises.

He Chaoqiong, who is in her sixties this year, said that she was also a young entrepreneur and is still a dreamer who does not want to stop. The joys and sorrows she has experienced on the road of corporate development and personal growth are no different from those experienced by others.

In 1980, He Chaoqiong went to the United States to study. When passing through Silicon Valley and seeing the flourishing appearance there, He Chaoqiong couldn't help but think in his heart, what can he do for the development of the motherland? He Chaoqiong said that studying abroad has made her gradually realize that internationalization does not mean rushing to integrate into the culture of other countries, following their logic and rules, but more importantly, she must be self-reliant and self-reliant, and win respect for her country internationally through her own efforts.

After returning to Hong Kong, Ho Chaoqiong first followed his father's arrangement to work in a financial institution, then set up a public relations company with friends, and finally joined the Shun Tak Group. "Our parents taught us not to forget our roots from an early age, and the family motto of loving the motherland and Hong Kong and Macao has also become the inheritance and adherence of our generation." He Chaoqiong said that it was this original intention that made her decide to join the family business, keep up with the overall development of the country, invest in people's livelihood and cultural tourism, promote the comprehensive development of the region, improve the overall civilization level of society, and let the next generation, especially young people, continuously strengthen their sense of cultural belonging and national pride.

The National 14th Five-Year Plan clearly positions Macao as a world centre of tourism and leisure and a service platform for commercial and trade co-operation between China and Portuguese-speaking countries, promoting moderate economic diversification. In Ho's view, this is a new opportunity for Macao. Macao can make use of its unique advantages in location, system and system to gain new impetus for progress.

Ho Chaoqiong said that Macao's excellent international communication ability and rich cultural and tourism resources can make Macao a window to show the world the advantages of China's tourism industry with rich resources, strong growth momentum and high degree of openness, so that tourism can contribute more to the national economy.

To this end, Ho Chaoqiong initiated and held the Global Tourism Economy Forum in Macao, aiming to build a platform for communication and exchange between Chinese and foreign tourism industries. Ho Chaoqiong said that from next year, the Global Tourism Economy Forum will go out of Macao and land in other cities in the Greater Bay Area, and the forum will be held abroad to other regions every other year, truly achieving the win-win goal of "going out and bringing in". In the process of seeking innovation and change, we always put serving the diversified development of Macao's industries and integrating into the overall development of the country as the first priority, and always adhere to the principle of basing ourselves on Macao, relying on the motherland and facing the world.
