Thanks to the exchange mechanism which mainly includes the Trilateral Meeting of Tourism Authorities, the tourism departments and the tourism industry of the three countries have engaged in close and practical cooperation at all levels.
在中日韩旅游部长会议为主体的交流机制推动下，三国旅游部门及产业界在各个层面展开了密切务实的合作。
In order to implement the Joint Declaration on the Promotion of Tripartite Cooperation issued in October 2003, the tourism departments of the three countries signed a memorandum of understanding on initiating China-Japan-ROK tourism cooperation and formulated plans to promote tripartite tourism cooperation and hosting tripartite meetings of tourism departments.
为落实三国领导人2003年10月发表的《中日韩推进三国合作联合宣言》，三国旅游部门签订了“关于建立中日韩旅游部门的合作谅解备忘录”，制定了推动三国旅游合作、举办三国旅游部门会议等合作计划。
In 2006, the First Trilateral Meeting of Tourism Authorities was held in Hokkaido, Japan, during which a trilateral plan of tourism exchanges was adopted. It set the goal of expanding the scale of tripartite tourism exchanges from 12 million person times in 2005 to 17 million in 2010. This goal had been met on schedule. In 2010, the Fifth Trilateral Meeting of Tourism Authorities set a new goal of increasing the scale to 26 million in 2015.
2006年第一届中日韩旅游部长会议在日本北海道召开，确认了《中日韩旅游交流计划》，即三国旅游交流规模力争从2005年的1200万人次扩大到2010年的1700万人次。该目标已如期实现。2010年，第五届三国旅游部长会议制定了2015年实现三国间人员交流规模达到2600万人次的新目标。
At present, six trilateral meetings of tourism authorities have been held. The outcomes of the meetings have been released as declarations or joint statements.
目前中日韩旅游部长会议已连续举办了六届，每届会议成果以《会议宣言》或《联合声明》等形式发表。
An exchange mechanism for the tourism industry was added to the Trilateral Meeting of Tourism Authorities in 2007. The Symposium on Educational Travel launched in 2006 was incorporated into the framework of the Trilateral Meeting of Tourism Authorities and has been held by the three countries alternately. This symposium has become an effective platform to boost youth exchanges in education and tourism and actively promoted youth exchanges through tourism among the three countries. This year, the Seventh Symposium on Educational Travel will be held in Sichuan Province, China.
2007年，中日韩旅游部长会议增加了业界交流机制。自2006年开始举办的“中日韩教育旅游研讨会”也纳入部长会议框架之中，并由三国轮流举办，已成为加强三国青少年教育旅游交流的有效平台，为三国青少年通过旅游加强交流起到了积极的推动作用。今年，第七届“中日韩教育旅游研讨会”将在中国四川省召开。
