2012年5月11日下午，荷兰华人知名企业欧洲园旅行社举办的促进中国商务旅游的全新网上订票平台www.gogochina.com发布与推介会在荷兰海牙市金龙轩大酒店隆重举行。中国驻荷兰大使馆张晋雄参赞、文化处陈亚军主任、领事处黄瑛领事、科技处全博主任等部门官员，海牙市政府、海牙市旅游局、西荷兰投资局等单位官员，德国汉莎航空公司、荷兰皇家航空公司、中国国际航空公司、中国南方航空公司、中国海南航空公司、俄罗斯、土耳其、波兰航空公司，荷兰华人华侨联合会、荷兰华人学者与工程师协会、中国留荷学生与学者联合会、荷兰中资企业、荷中友协等各界嘉宾与代表一百余人出席了这次发布会。

欧洲园旅行社总经理王俊芳女士首先介绍了欧洲园在自创立以来，业务范围集中在中国来欧商务旅游、欧洲前往中国及亚太地区机票与商务旅行三个领域。经过近十年的发展，如今服务范围已从荷兰成功扩展至比利时、德国其他欧洲国家。随着中国国力的提升与各个领域的强劲发展，更多的欧洲文艺、商务等团体等对中国的兴趣与日俱增。向荷兰及欧洲社会更好地推广中国的文化、艺术、旅游等更为重要。做为熟悉和了解中荷双重文化的我们，今天推出www.gogochina.com这个崭新平台，将为中荷、中欧在文化、艺术、商务、旅游等各个领域架起新的桥梁。

中国驻荷兰大使馆文化处张亚军先生代表使馆致辞。他说欧洲园是他在荷兰任职四年以来打交道最多、最值得信任的荷兰华人旅行社。他说我跟欧洲园2009年初开始接触。当时，使馆文化处受国内委托，需要帮助来荷的新春演出团安排吃住行。于是我们找了几家旅行社同时报价，也同这几家旅行社的负责人聊了聊。最后我们选择了同欧洲园旅行社进行合作。其一是，欧洲园提供的酒店国内演出团非常喜欢，而且价格也相当优惠。后来我们才进一步了解到，欧洲园团量大，加上员工的英文、荷兰文都比较好，他们和酒店的沟通非常到位，所以他们提供给客人的价格就好。其二，车辆方面，欧洲园旅行社不仅用的是豪华新车，价格也总是比别人便宜不少。后来跟欧洲园旅行社王俊芳女士打交道多了，她告诉我，欧洲园总是根据旅行团的行程情况，从德国、比利时和荷兰选出最合适的车辆。几次交道下来，我发现欧洲园旅行社做任何一件事他们都非常细心、用心，服务更是非常快捷、高效。从2009年第一次合作开始到现在，这么多年我们就再没找过别家旅行社，因为欧洲园诚实可信、质优价廉，在许多大型团体的安排中井井有条，从未出错。包括欧美同学会时，韩启德部长级代表团来荷兰的吃住行，和马上来到重要团体，都是交给他们来安排的。他们做事，我们放心。他说，在中国成功举办奥运、世博会后，荷兰、比利时、德国等欧洲国家对中国的了解与日俱增，前往中国的文艺、商务、旅游团体也越来愈多。非常高兴看到欧洲园开启的gogochina交流平台，对我们使馆来说，帮助更多的欧洲个人、团体来了解中国、前往中国，增进中荷、中欧人民相互之间的沟通和了解，这是我们大力支持的。我希望、也相信他们一定会做得越来越好！

海牙市政府文化旅游局局长汉斯-杜茨先生做为海牙市政府代表发言。他说，今天是中荷文化、艺术、旅游、商务交流上的一件大事。非常欢迎欧洲园及荷兰华人侨界推出的崭新交流平台，它一定会增进更多的荷兰民众、团体、单位对中国在文化、艺术、旅行、商务等领域的了解并吸引更多的荷兰及欧洲其他国家人民前往中国旅游、商务、合作与发展。海牙旅游局局长Hans Doets 说海牙有很美丽的海滩，很棒的酒店，交通便利。他很欢迎象欧洲园这样的旅行社能带来更多来海牙旅游的中国游客。他们愿意为他们提供最大的支持和帮助。结束时Hans Does向欧洲园旅行社总经理王俊芳赠送了“海牙的著名画册”。

德国汉莎航空集团的Alain van der List先生做为欧洲各大航空公司嘉宾代表作了发言。他说，过去三年欧洲园旅行社是我的主要客户之一。我亲自感受了我们之间这种互利合作的快速发展。汉莎集团旗下有3家主要的航空公司：德国汉莎航空，瑞士航空和奥地利航空。汉莎集团在世界各地建立航线方便人们旅行，欧洲园给客人提供各种旅行的优质建议，通过这种紧密，互利合作，我们一起是欧亚这个火爆的航线成为最便利的欧亚之间旅游桥梁。欧洲园旅行社对客人的热情，友好，周到，优质的服务，让我们觉得我们之间的合作是更好服务旅客的完美结合。在航空业竞争如此激烈的今天，汉莎集团为能有欧洲园旅行社这样的合作伙伴而感到非常高兴。同时热烈祝贺欧洲园开通www.gogochina.com网上订票系统。

荷兰华人学者与工程师协会主席吴树范博士、荷兰华人社团联合会主席王剑光先生等做为荷兰侨界代表也纷纷致辞，对由荷兰华人企业推出的www.gogochina.com平台的开通表示了祝贺，并表示荷兰侨界也将充分利用这个方便、快捷的网络平台。
