BANGKOK - Pacific Asia Travel Association (PATA) will hold PATA Travel Mart 2020 in Leshan, Sichuan, China from Sept. 3-6.

PATA held its annual summit 2015 in Leshan, a prefecture-level city located at the confluence of the Dadu and Min rivers in the Sichuan Province of China. The city is located on the south-western fringe of the Red Basin in southern Sichuan, about 120 km from Chengdu.

Leshan annually receives more than 25 million visitors. The Leshan Giant Buddha of Mount Emei draws worldwide attention due to its profound influence on Buddhist culture.

Travellers can connect to Leshan via Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport, then land transfer by car, bus or by speed train from the airport to Leshan city. It takes approximately one hour and thirty minutes by car or bus, and forty minutes by speed train.

PATA Travel Mart 2020 will be hosted by the Leshan Culture, Radio, Television and Tourism Bureau.
