Mr Li Minbin, Executive Director of China Goldjoy, said, "With economic development and escalation of consumer spending in the PRC as well as the rapid growth in China's cultural tourism industry, the Group is optimistic about the future of that industry and is actively exploring domestic and foreign investment opportunities. We appreciate LID's rich experience and expertise in the construction and operation of world-class cultural tourism projects and theme parks, and we are positive about its development prospects as its results have turned from loss to profit in 2017 and many of the resort projects developed and operated by LID have commenced operation and contributed profit. We may also cooperate with LID to develop cultural tourism projects and theme parks in Mainland China should suitable opportunities arise."
