However, there is a profound lack of knowledge in Spain about the peculiarities of Chinese culture and the evolution suffered by this enormous country in the last two decades. Today, China is a completely digitalized country and in the last 5 years it has radically changed the profile of the tourist, who is now an independent, cosmopolitan and well-off traveler”.<\/p>\n

“Being pioneers in the introduction of Chinese tourism in Spain,\u00a0AsialinkSpain\u00a0<\/strong>has a solid knowledge acquired in its 15 years of existence. We are confident that we can provide the necessary experience and opportunities to Spanish and Latin American companies and institutions that wish to efficiently attract this segment of Chinese clients with high purchasing power”.<\/p>\n

“Our recent strategic alliances with prestigious companies and organizations such as the agreement between AENA and IBERIA with Ctrip, the collaboration with TOURESPA\u00d1A and the Spanish Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism and the work carried out for PARADORES and MEL\u00cdA HOTELS, among other renowned travel industry firms, guarantee our expertise”.<\/p>\n

“We know that there is a desire to connect both worlds. The Chinese want to know more about Spain and Latin America, and Spain and Latin America wish a close collaboration with China. It\u2019s clear that the best way to get to know cultures is through the travel experience[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][\/vc_section][vc_section back_color=”color-160972″ overlay_alpha=”50″ el_class=”row-padding-top-bottom”][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ overlay_alpha=”50″ equal_height=”yes” gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ width=”1\/2″][vc_custom_heading css_animation=”bottom-t-top” subheading=”Business and Project Development Consultant” el_class=”team-title-name chief”]Malena R\u00edos Luguera[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text css_animation=”bottom-t-top”]<\/p>\n

\u201cIf there\u2019s one thing I\u2019ve learned in recent years, it\u2019s that working with the Chinese market is a long-distance professional race \u2014 and a true master\u2019s degree on a personal level.\u201d<\/p>\n

With a background that combines event organization, commercial management, and a growing specialization in international tourism, Malena is part of the Business and Project Development team at AsialinkSpain. Her experience at Turespa\u00f1a, in the Marketing Department of the State Secretariat of Spain, was key to her professional development: \u201cThere I understood that tourism is not just an industry, but a deep commitment to sustainability, empathy, and cultural diversity.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cMy vision of tourism is based on building bridges, opening borders, and promoting a model of travel that enriches mentally and emotionally, where culture is the core and there is no room for discrimination, neither in origin nor destination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her passion for the Chinese market grows day by day. \u201cAt first glance, it may seem like a distant world, but the more you get to know it, the more you discover we are not that different. In the end, it all comes down to people. People with a great interest in our culture, gastronomy, history, and nature, who travel with respect, curiosity, and enormous potential for the tourism and economic development of our destinations.\u201d<\/p>\n
