May 20, 2025, is the second day of China Tourism Day. “2025 Ninghai China’s Third Annual Meeting of Travelers Around the World” was successfully held in Ninghai County, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province, China. Ninghai is the birthplace of China Tourism Day and the first place where Xu Xiake, the Chinese travel saint, wrote “Xu Xiake’s Travels” out of the west gate. This year’s third annual meeting had 78 representatives, 62 representatives actually attended the meeting, and 26 TCC China members. It was organized and planned by Mr. Chen Guangming, the founder and chairman of the organizing committee of the China’s Annual Meeting of Travelers Around the World, and the meeting was chaired by Secretary-General Chen Ying and Mr. Li Guangdong. TCC China members Ms. Hou Haiyong, Li Jiandong, Li Cungen, Li Wenjun, Yang Ke, Qin Hong and others participated in the meeting management. The sponsors of the annual meeting included the hosts Gan Zhiqiang and Zhong Zhong, as well as Chen Yihua, Huang Yu, Ding Fenbao and Peng Tianhong. It fully reflects the warmth of the Chinese international traveler family around the world, and truly made it a home-style annual meeting. General Wu Chuanjiu presented a song for our annual meeting, “Song of Xu Xiake” as the theme song and anthem of the annual meeting. Ms. Zhou Li, a famous American writer, told about her expeditions to the North and South Poles. The speakers included bosses, mayors, directors, an 88-year-old traveler, two professors from Zhejiang University, and a professor who traveled the world with his wife.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the founding of the United Nations and the 75th anniversary of the founding of TCC. We have been through five years since the first annual meeting. The first annual meeting was held in Wuhan on January 23, 2021, the second year of the Wuhan lockdown. The second annual meeting was held in Beijing on December 18, 2021. Since ancient times, there have not been many people in China who have traveled the world, and only our generation has truly traveled the world. The early global travelers also started from navigators to the current means of transportation such as cruise ships, airplanes and cars. Since cars and airplanes have only a hundred years of history as means of transportation, we are catching up as transport becomes easier. We have gradually completed the goal of traveling around the world according to CHN233, ISO249 and TCC330. While traveling around the world, we have filled this gap in our country. It is estimated that there are nearly 3,000 people in the country who have the goal of traveling around the world, and about 500 people have reached 100 countries and regions in the world. We count once a year, and the number of registered people in 2024 is 275. The number of individual applicants for TCC certificates is even smaller, and the number of registered people has soared to 80 in the past two years. Among them, the 78th and 79th people who recently obtained TCC certificates, TCC118 Pang Yumin and TCC115 Feng Bo in Beijing, and Mr. Ying Weiwen who just obtained the TCC certificate last week, all rushed to the annual meeting. In the 75 years since the establishment of TCC, a total of 6,828 people in the world have applied for TCC membership certificates. At present, there are more than 1,800 registered members of TCC. Our TCC Chinese members, a total of 80, account for the total number of TCC members, ranking first in the United States and second in China. On May 30, 2024, Chen Guangming, the only coordinator of TCC China, and Secretary-General Chen Ying led a Chinese delegation of 14 people to participate in the 2024 TCC International Annual Meeting in Azores, Portugal for the first time, creating a precedent for collectively receiving TCC membership certificates at the TCC International Annual Meeting. Since 2004, when Ah Shi, the former host of China’s Travel Satellite TV, and Ms. Yang Hongyu, the first Chinese to travel around the world, attended the TCC Annual Meeting held in the United States for the first time and received their personal TCC membership certificates on the spot, the two meetings for receiving certificates were different. Now, the TCC Annual Meeting and the TCC International Annual Meeting are held alternately every other year, one in the United States and one internationally, and our annual meeting is held every two years.
Finally, I would like to thank the two presidents of TCC, the American and the British, for their video speeches. On May 3 next year, we will once again form a group to go to the 2026 TCC International Annual Conference in Hanoi, Vietnam. As Chinese are traveling around the world and around TCC330, we are happy to be part of this worldwide travel community.

2025年5月20日，是中国网民自发形成的网络情人节520，又是中国旅游日的第二天。《2025宁海中国第三届走遍世界国际旅行家年会》成功选择在中国浙江省宁波市宁海县召开，并圆满结束。宁海，是中国旅游日的发源地，是中华游圣徐霞客一生志在四方写下《徐霞客游记》走出西门的首篇地。今年第三届年会代表78人，实际到会代表62人，TCC中国会员26人。由中国走遍世界国际旅行家年会创始人组委会主席陈广明先生组织策划，秘书长陈鹰和李广东先生主持会议，TCC中国会员侯海甬女士、李建东、李存根、李文军、杨珂、秦虹等参与了会务管理。并选择了年会主办单位和会务主办单位，年会赞助商有东道主干志强和钟中，另外还有陈一华、黄予、丁粉宝和彭天虹。充分体现中国走遍世界国际旅行家大家庭的温暖，真正办成了自己家式的年会。吴传玖将军为我们年会赠歌，《徐霞客之歌》作为年会的主题曲和会歌。著名的旅美作家周励女士，讲述她两次分别到达南极点和北极点的9次南北极探险，并与中国摄影家协会路明先生分别为大家赠送了自己的作品。有中国微距首席周芳的美国国家地理和中国摄影出版社集结的作品展，组委会有原新华社记者、原浙江日报的摄影记者和中国摄影家协会会员、设计艺术家、高级工程师和清华毕业生等，也算人才宝库之家。演讲的有老板，有市长、局长，88岁的旅行家和82岁同走世界的夫妻第一人，有浙江大学两位教授，有教授携夫人同走世界的，另有高端5星级酒店和顶级高尔夫球场打卡的、有国际博物馆证书持有者，还有不知道的特别人才。陈广明是《中国走遍世界国际旅行家》栏目组的主持人，三届年会的大会总结人。闵大昌是该栏目组主编，做了视频讲话。
今年是联合国成立80周年，TCC成立75周年，我们从首届年会至今走过五个年头。首届年会，是武汉封城日的第二年2021年1月23日在武汉召开。第二届年会是2021年12月18日在北京召开。我们中国自古以来走世界的人不多，真正走遍世界的人只有我们这代人。全球早期的旅行家也是从航海家开始，到现在的邮轮、飞机和汽车等交通工具。由于汽车和飞机做为交通工具只有百年历史，我们正赶上这个好年华。我们按CHN233、ISO249 和TCC329 去逐步完成走遍世界的我们大家，已经在走遍世界的同时，填补了我国的这项空白。估计全国有近3000人具有走遍世界的目标，已经达到走遍世界100个国家和地区约有500人。我们每年统计一次，2024年在册人数统计为275人。TCC证书个人申请人数更少，在册人员近两年猛增到80人，其中近日获得TCC证书的第78位和79位北京的TCC118庞裕民和TCC115冯波，以及上周才获得TCC证书的英伟文先生，都赶到了年会现场。TCC成立75年间，全世界共有6828位申请过TCC会员证书。目前，TCC在册会员1800多人。我们TCC中国会员共80人占TCC会员总数排列美国第一，中国排名第二。2024年5月30日，做为TCC中国唯一协调人陈广明和秘书长陈鹰率中国代表团14人，首次组团参加2024葡萄牙亚速尓TCC国际年会，开创TCC国际年会集体领取TCC会员证书的先河。我们中国人集体领取TCC证书的场面，轰动了TCC国际年会。自2004年，中国原旅游卫视主持人阿涩和中国走遍世界第一人杨宏宇女士，首次参加TCC俱乐部在美国举行的TCC年会，并现场领取她们个人的TCC会员证书以来，两次领证的会议有所不同，一是TCC总部所在地年会，这次领证地是TCC总部按照TCC330个国家和地区所在地选择的国际年会地址。现在，TCC年会和TCC国际年会是隔年交替召开，一年美国国内一年国际，我们的年会是两年一开。目前，全球只有25位完成TCC330的人，中国走在最前面的是韩锦生和杨宏宇女士。
最后，感谢TCC的美国人和英国人两任主席的视频讲话。我们明年5月3日，将再次组团前往2026越南河内TCC国际年会。在TCC国际年会上，为我们中国人再次留下不可磨灭的一笔。让世界看到，我们更多的中国人走遍世界，走遍TCC330。
