Move over, globetrotters! 🌏 Colombian student Andres Ospina just gave us major #TravelGoals vibes at the 2023 China International Fair for Trade in Services (CIFTIS) in Beijing. With over 2,400 companies and 80+ countries showcasing their innovations, this mega-event is where cultures collide—in the best way possible!
From traditional Chinese tea ceremonies to vibrant stands representing Peru, Ecuador, and Syria, Andres became our virtual tour guide through the fair’s cultural kaleidoscope. 🎪 'What’s cool about CIFTIS is how it turns Beijing into a global living room,' he shared. 'You swap stories with someone from Damascus one minute and debate empanada recipes with Ecuadorians the next.'
This year’s theme—'Opening up Leads Development, Cooperation Delivers the Future'—came alive through nine sectors, including ed-tech startups, eco-friendly solutions, and even sports tech that could rival the Olympics. 🏅 For young explorers like Andres, it’s proof that cultural exchange isn’t just about souvenirs—it’s the ultimate hack to spark fresh ideas.
